Corey Graves & Carmella welcome birth of new child
Corey Graves (Matthew Polinsky) & Carmella (Leah Van Dale) shared some great news on Friday, revealing that they’ve welcomed a new child into the world.
“Bram Julian Polinsky you’ve changed my life forever, baby boy,” the former WWE women’s division star wrote while sharing a photo of her, Graves, and the new baby.
This is Graves & Carmella’s second child together, with Carmella also being a stepmother to Graves’ three kids from a previous marriage. She and Graves have been married since 2022. Their first child — also a boy whose name is Dimitri — was born in November 2023.
Since giving birth the first time, Carmella has dealt with a post-pregnancy complication called drop foot. She’s able to live a normal day-to-day life but does experience issues with things like running.
Carmella departed WWE earlier this year when the company decided not to renew her contract. She is hopeful that she’ll be able to wrestle for the promotion again one day.
Last month, WWE ran an angle where Graves was attacked by Brock Lesnar, which served as a way to explain him being gone from his commentary role for a little while for the birth of his child.
