WWE’s Lacey Evans welcomes birth of second child

WWE’s Lacey Evans (real name Macey Estrella) and her husband Alfonso have welcomed their second child into the world.

In an Instagram post on Saturday, Evans announced that she gave birth this morning at 4:20 a.m. The baby is a girl and weighs seven pounds and eight ounces.

Evans wrote that, because COVID-related restrictions would have meant that her family couldn’t fully participate in welcoming the baby if she gave birth at a hospital, she chose to have a home birth:

I found out shortly after getting pregnant that due to covid my family wouldn’t get to fully be apart of welcoming our second child into the world. My daughter wouldn’t be allowed in the hospital at all and my husband would have many restrictions. I couldn’t imagine my Lil lady missing it. I couldn’t imagine the limitations and the birthing experience we would be left with……so home it was. Born 4:20am in my recliner. 7lbs 8oz. With my Lil lady and husband by my side the entire time.

I got to see her reaction. I got to watch his smile. It was one of the hardest yet most rewarding things I’ve ever done and She is perfect. I’m going to take a nap now

Evans announced her pregnancy on the February 15 episode of Raw. At the time, she was aligned with Ric Flair on WWE television and feuding with Charlotte Flair. Evans was scheduled to challenge Asuka for the Raw Women’s Championship at February’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, but she was removed from the match after announcing her pregnancy.
