WWE star Bayley addresses whether she wants to have children
In her personal life, WWE star Bayley is staying open to whatever comes her way.
Bayley joined Stephanie McMahon for a new episode of McMahon’s “What’s Your Story?” podcast that premiered this week. During their conversation, Bayley addressed whether she would like to have children at some point.
“I do, yeah,” she told McMahon. “I mean, now I’m at an age where like, now I’m kind of open. You know, if it happens, it happens. I’m not dating anybody. But if I were to meet someone, say I met someone today and they wanted to have kids, it’s not like I could just be like, ‘Let’s do it.’ You know, I want to be with somebody that if I was going to commit to them, I need to make sure they’re fit for that.
“I’ve aways thought that I would have kids growing up, but I don’t know if that was because it’s like, ‘Oh, it’s the thing to do’ or that’s just what life is. And then as I started getting older and realizing what I want out of a relationship and stuff, then I’m like, ‘Okay, well, if it happens, it happens.’ But I think I’ll be okay if not.”
Becky Lynch and Alexa Bliss are among the current WWE wrestlers who have returned to their full-time careers after having children.
The 36-year-old Bayley is a member of the WWE Raw roster and part of a tag team with Lyra Valkyria at the moment. Opening her own wrestling school is a future goal for Bayley, who has also mentioned working behind the scenes in WWE as something that could interest her down the line.
Bayley noted on “What’s Your Story?” that, as 2025 came to an end, she could feel something big about to happen in her life. She does not know exactly what that is.
“I feel like everything in me is opening up,” she said “Like, I can feel something shifting and being open where I’m like, ‘Is something big about to happen?’ I don’t know what it is or if it’s somebody or what it is. But I’m like, I’m ready. I’m ready. I think I’m ready. I’m kind of scared, but I think I’m ready. But I can feel something.”
