Carmella, real name Leah Van Dale, announced on Monday that she and husband Matt Polinsky are expecting their first child. Polinsky also performs under the stage name Corey Graves.
She announced her pregnancy exclusively on Good Morning America, revealing that she discovered the exciting news in March. “It’s all just been such a whirlwind,” she said. “I think it was difficult for me to get excited about this one right away because of my history, but I was cautiously optimistic.” This time, I’m trying to have a good mindset, a positive mindset, and it’s working. So that makes me very happy.”
Last year, in September and October, the 35-year-old had two miscarriages. Despite the “crazy” morning sickness, she said this pregnancy has “been really good” so far. Her due date is set for November.
Matt Polinsky is a professional wrestler and colour commentator. He is currently signed to WWE as a Raw and SmackDown commentator and analyst. Corey Graves is his ring name. Polinsky was born on February 24, 1984, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and grew up there.
Polinsky previously divorced Amy Polinsky. They have three kids together. Sam, his younger brother, wrestles for the National Wrestling Alliance. Van Dale and Polinsky will marry in April 2022.
Van Dale also discussed Polinsky’s delight at the prospect of having a child with her, as he had not anticipated the news at all. “He was completely shocked and surprised,” she said, adding, “he was so excited, and from the get-go when I told him, we both just really tried to have such a positive outlook on it.”
Even though she and Polinsky were initially “apprehensive” about informing Polinsky’s step-children, he said they were overjoyed to learn of her pregnancy. They were concerned about how they would react because “they’re all a little bit older.” “They were ecstatic, and it made us even more ecstatic about having the baby.” “That’s just incredible,” she exclaimed.
