Maria Kanellis & Mike Bennett expecting third child

Maria Kanellis-Bennett and her husband Mike Bennett announced some big personal news this morning — they’re expecting another baby.

The couple posted an Instagram video on Monday revealing that they’re expecting baby number three. Maria and Mike have been married for more than a decade now. Their first two children, a daughter named Freddie and son named Carver, were born in 2018 and 2020.

Mike Bennett is signed to AEW and competes on the ROH roster as part of The Kingdom with his tag team partner Matt Taven.

Along with working for AEW/ROH, Bennett competes on the indies and has made recent appearances for Maple Leaf Pro and AAW.

Maria departed AEW earlier this year and is currently a free agent, though she’s not focused on a return to pro wrestling at the moment unless the right opportunity comes up. She’s previously worked for both WWE and TNA. Last year, Maria navigated a difficult health situation after a mass was found on her adrenal gland. The mass was ultimately determined not to be cancerous.
