A Journey to Parenthood
WWE Superstar Naomi and her husband, Jimmy Uso, shared deeply personal news on a recent bonus episode of What’s Your Story? with Stephanie McMahon: they are expecting a child.The announcement came shortly after Monday’s Raw, where Naomi relinquished her Women’s World Championship.
Naomi revealed she discovered the pregnancy on August 10th, just before a scheduled match against IYO SKY. “In my hotel room. Had been feeling a little different, a little weird,” she recalled, adding that she initially didn’t believe it was possible given past struggles with fertility.
Overcoming Medical Obstacles
The path to pregnancy wasn’t easy. Naomi disclosed that she underwent an oophorectomy – the removal of her right ovary – prior to joining the main roster as a Funkadactyl. Further complicating matters, she had a procedure in 2020 to remove numerous fibroids from her uterus. Jimmy Uso recalled the surgery being far more extensive than initially anticipated, lasting six hours instead of the expected two, and requiring Naomi to take six months for recovery.
“I had tons,and big ones,” Naomi confirmed. She explained that due to these medical challenges, combined with her age (37) and having only one ovary, she and Jimmy had largely resigned themselves to the possibility that natural conception might not happen. “We thoght for sure that naturally, I couldn’t anymore,” she shared.
A High-Risk Pregnancy, but a positive Outlook
While acknowledging that the pregnancy is considered high-risk, Naomi expressed optimism.”I’m going to have checkups more frequently enough, but everything’s looking good. We’re off to a good start,” she said. As of this writing, she is seven weeks pregnant and has already heard her baby’s heartbeat.
Championship Vacancy and Future Plans
Naomi’s announcement on Monday’s Raw included the relinquishment of her women’s World Championship. In a character-driven promo, she warned any competitor who might hold the title upon her return to be prepared for a challenge.
