Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae are one of the most popular wrestling couples who are a part of the WWE NXT roster. They have been married since 2016 and many fans witness them as a beloved wrestling couple while even WWE also showcases them in a similar way. Their family is about to add a new member because the couple is expecting their first child.
Johnny Gargano took to Twitter, last night to announce that he and his wife LeRae are expecting their first child in February of 2022. In the tweet, a photo was accompanied by himself and LeRae with their dog while Gargano was seen holding pictures from an ultrasound.
“The secret’s out! Our team is getting a little bigger…The best is on the way!” was the caption of the photo while a separate photo was also there announcing that “baby wrestling coming….February 2022.”

That being said, Candice LeRae will have to be sidelined from action, effective immediately from WWE NXT TV. Perhaps, the creative team had clues about the pregnancy since she was not being involved in physical capacity, anyway for the past few weeks. Johnny Gargano and his wife are rather focused on ruining the romantic interest between Dexter Lumis and Indi Hartwell.
We will see how things will fold up for her in the coming weeks on NXT. LeRae hasn’t wrestled since July 6th’s Great American Bash when she lost the NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles with Indi Hartwell to Zoey Stark and Io Shirai. Since then, she is showing up on NXT every week as part of backstage segments. There’s also no update available, as of this writing whether the pregnancy announcement will change Johnny Gargano’s NXT bookings.
