Bianca Belair has officially shared new details about how her surprise pregnancy announcement at WrestleMania came together behind the scenes — and according to Belair and Montez Ford, the original plan was completely different.
Speaking on their latest vlog, Belair and her husband Montez Ford explained that they initially intended to announce the pregnancy privately on Belair’s birthday, April 9, during a planned trip to Miami.
“We planned to go to Miami from April 8 to April 12 and we were going to announce it on her birthday,” Ford explained. However, once WrestleMania weekend arrived, keeping the news secret became increasingly difficult.
According to Ford, many people within WWE had already become aware of the pregnancy, forcing the couple to reconsider their original plans.
Belair later revealed that she personally informed WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H about the pregnancy and was surprised by how supportive he was about potentially involving WrestleMania in the announcement.
“Originally, I texted Hunter, and I told him I was pregnant,” Belair shared. “He was super excited and asked, ‘How are you gonna announce it? What about WrestleMania?’”
At first, Belair admitted she was unsure about sharing such a personal moment on such a massive public stage.
“I was enjoying this bubble and was in a space where I didn’t want to announce it,” Belair explained. “I honestly just wanted to tell my family and friends and then surprise everybody later.”
Eventually, after several conversations with Ford, Belair began warming up to the idea of making WrestleMania part of the moment.
“I said, ‘Let’s do WrestleMania. What about me coming out first thing, with my bump, and opening WrestleMania?’”
However, the announcement almost never happened due to communication delays during WrestleMania season.
Belair said she did not receive a response for some time after pitching the idea, leading her to believe WWE may have decided against it.
“It’s Mania season, so I didn’t get a text back for a while,” she explained. “I thought maybe it was a no, so we went back to planning the birthday reveal.”
Everything changed when Triple H finally responded with confirmation.
“Hunter texted me back, ‘Sorry for the delay. Yes and yes.’”
Belair’s last WWE match came at WrestleMania 41, where she competed against Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley in a high-profile triple threat match. She later suffered a finger injury that reportedly kept her out of action for the remainder of 2025.
Montez Ford previously mentioned on social media that the couple had kept the pregnancy private for approximately six months, leading many fans to speculate that Belair’s due date could fall sometime later this summer.
Fans across social media have continued celebrating the couple’s announcement, with many praising how WWE incorporated the moment into WrestleMania weekend in a heartfelt and memorable way.
