There are many male superstars on the current roster who are fathers and still able to travel the world for more than 300 days a year. Being a mother in the industry is much harder since the women would have to have maternity leave and then train to get back into shape. This is why many women wait until after their wrestling career is over to have children, but there are still a number of women who have been able to have children and return to the business, while there are others who are currently off on maternity leave. There are a huge number of former WWE Diva who have opted to start a family after their careers have come to an end since this seems to be the most acceptable option for most women who have walked away from the company in recent years.

There are also a number of women who would be hoping to take some time away from the company soon in order to have children while they feel as though they are still young enough to be able to start a family and remain on the road. The following list looks at 10 current and former WWE Divas that you didn't know were mothers, as well as five WWE Divas who are either planning to get pregnant soon or are set to give birth in the coming months. There are a number of wrestling babies coming into the world in the near future.

Tamina is the only WWE star who has been able to juggle her entire wrestling career as a mother. The SmackDown superstar isn't one of the most popular women in the company but she is a fantastic mother as well as a superstar on WWE TV over the past decade.

Tamina is a member of the famous Anoa'i family through marriage and is also the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Snuka. She married back in 1995 when she was much younger and divorced a few years later back in 2003 before she decided to follow in her father's footsteps and pursue a career in the ring. Together Tamina and Brandon Polamalu had two daughters together called Milaneta and Maleata. Ever since Tamina made the decision to pursue a wrestling career, she has always been able to make time to see her children as well.

Eve also went on to marry her longtime boyfriend Rener Gracie back in 2014 before she announced the arrival of her first child the following year.

Maryse came to WWE though the annual Diva Search and it seems that much like many of the women of that era, Maryse was signed to the company and went on to become one of the standout stars at that time.

Maryse is a former Divas Champion and was once the longest reigning Champion before her record was erased by AJ Lee a few years later. Maryse started a relationship with The Miz after they started working together on WWE TV and then married back in 2014, three years after Maryse walked away from the company to pursue other creative paths. Maryse has since returned to WWE to work alongside her husband and the couple announced that they were expecting their first child together next month.

Mickie returned to WWE back in January 2017 after a number of years away from the company where she was able to marry and become a mother. Mickie started dating former TNA star Nick Aldis, better known as Magnus, when she moved over to Impact Wrestling, The couple then announced the arrival of their first child, a son called Donovan Patrick Aldis in 2014 before they then married more than a year later in December 2015.

Mother: Lacey Evans

Lacey Evans has been making quite a name for herself in NXT over the past few months as she slowly becomes the first ever Lady of the developmental brand. Lacey is a former marine and someone who definitely looks the part. On top of having a former career in the armed forces, Lacey also has a daughter.

This was revealed on NXT a few weeks ago when Corey Graves incorrectly pointed out that the current star has a son when in fact she has a daughter. Lacey met her husband when she was just 14 years old and the couple has remained together for more than a decade.  Together they have a four-year-old daughter called Summer who is often seen cheering on her mother as she continues to appear in WWE. Lacey often brings her daughter on the road with her and somehow manages to look after her while also performing.

Future Mother: Maria Kanellis

Maria Kanellis came to WWE through the annual Diva Search and unlike many of the other women at that time, Maria found a home as a backstage interviewer where she played a ditsy character who was occasionally allowed to wrestle.

The couple then returned to WWE back at Money in the Bank 2017 but while Mike has been making progress in the ting recently, Maria has been forced to take time away from the ring since she announced her first pregnancy. Maria and her husband announced earlier this year that they were expecting a baby girl and that the name for their daughter would be Fredricka Moon Bennett. The couple doesn't have much longer to wait now since they are due around the same time as Maryse and The Miz.

Mother: Candice Michelle

Candice Michelle will be best remembered as a cover girl for a famous men's magazine during her time working for WWE, but she was also the first ever former Diva Search contestant to win the Women's Championship. Candice improved considerably in the ring during her final few years with WWE but was still released from the company back in 2009.

Over the past nine years, Candice has decided to focus on starting a family and after marrying Ken Gee Ehrlich back in 2005, the couple welcomed their first child called AkiAnne Rose in 2010, Ryumi Grace was born in 2012, and her youngest daughter Aloha Von Ehrlich arrived in 2015.

Mother: Stacy Keibler

Stacy Keibler will be remembered by WWE fans for her incredible legs that were reported to be 42 inches long. Stacy started her career in WCW before she made the switch over to WWE and become a standout star as a manager and valet rather than a wrestler.

Lana and her husband Rusev have had a number of disagreements over their future recently since Rusev wants his wife to have a child now but she is happy with her wrestling career and it's open to having time off. Rusev was quite blunt about his intentions on the latest season of Total Divas and Lana and Rusev could be hoping to start a family sooner rather than later.

Mother: Jillian Hall

Jillian Hall is best remembered as a former Divas Champion in WWE since she only held the title for a few minutes. Jillian had an annoying gimmick in which she sang her own entrance theme and then attempted to continue to sing while she was in the ring even though she was a terrible singer.

Jillian left WWE back in 2010 when it was reported that her contract had expired and she has since remained out of the spotlight. Jillian has been married twice and during her first marriage she gave birth to her first child. Jillian's marriage ended in divorce before 2009 and then went on to marry for the second time in 2010.

Nattie has also played a main part in Total Divas over the past seven years which is where Natalya has been able to show off how much she loves her cats. The former Champion stated a number of times that she didn't want a child because she was a cat person and had never thought about children, but recently it seems that seeing Brie's daughter Birdie has shown Nattie that she wants to be a mother. Natalya has already been seen as the mother of the WWE women's locker room, which shows that she would be an incredible mother to her own children when the time comes.

Mother: Michelle McCool

Michelle McCool is a former WWE Divas and Women's Champion and someone who was able to work as a school teacher before she then decided to pursue a career in professional wrestling. Michelle was married Jeremy Louis Alexander in 2001 before she later filed for divorce in 2006 when she managed to move on to fellow WWE star The Undertaker.

Undertaker and Michelle McCool married back in 2010 before they announced the arrival of their first child together in 2012. Michelle made her first appearance in the wrestling ring in more than seven years when she appeared as part of the first ever Women's Royal Rumble match and eliminated more woman than any other star.

Nikki has been pushing her boyfriend towards marriage over the past few years and finally, Cena has changed his mind and is willing to marry Bella.

Nikki has also noted that she wants children in the future but this is something that Cena has never wanted because of how busy his life was. Recently Cena has revealed that he has changed his mind about children so Brie's daughter Birdie could have a new friend to play with in the near future. Nikki and Cena have pretty busy careers right now and that could hold them back when it comes to having a child, but they could be set to have one in the near future.
