WWE legend Kelly Kelly – AKA Barbie Blank – announces she’s pregnant with first child after heartbreaking miscarriage
WWE legend Kelly Kelly has announced that she and husband, Joe Coba, are expecting a child.
The beautiful star – who left WWE in 2012 after six years – has since become an influencer after semi-retiring from the ring.
Former Divas champion Kelly – real name Barbie Blank – regularly shows off her flawless body to her 1.3 million followers.
But earlier this week the 36-year-old announced that she is now due to become a mother on September 25.
The baby news comes just over two years since she heartbreakingly announced that her and Coba, who tied the knot last year, had suffered a miscarriage.
She wrote on Instagram: “Joe rushed me to the hospital and that’s when I just knew we had lost the baby and the hours seemed like days while we waited it became more and more real. We were devastated.”
Kelly also revealed that she will be attending WrestleMania 39 this weekend but will then be taking a break to focus on their new arrival.
She told Entertainment Tonight: “This definitely means taking a break from wrestling for a while for sure, to really focus on my new family.
“I love getting the chance to perform for the fans whenever I can, and WWE has always been great about leaving the door open for me whenever I want to come back.
“So who knows what will happen in the future after the baby? Maybe we will have a future wrestler on our hands?

“WrestleMania is this weekend here in Los Angeles at the SoFi Stadium and I will definitely be attending and can’t wait to debut my belly bump to everyone.”
Despite departing WWE 11 years ago, Kelly still returns to the company sporadically – and she competed in the 2019, 2020 and 2022 Royal Rumbles.
Kelly even became the first woman to win the 24/7 title when she pinned Gerald Brisco during her appearance on Raw Reunion in July 2019.
