Becky Lynch has openly expressed her desire to have a second child during a time when her career continues to gain momentum. The WWE superstar spoke candidly about balancing her professional success with her personal dreams of growing her family.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Lynch was the WWE Women’s Champion on RAW, preparing for a highly anticipated challenge against Asuka, who had won the Women’s Money in the Bank match.
On the May 11, 2020, episode of RAW, what was expected to be a heated confrontation between Lynch and Asuka turned into an emotional revelation when Lynch announced she was expecting her first child. She then passed her championship title to Asuka, officially crowning the Japanese wrestler as her successor.
Reflecting on Motherhood and Career Progress
In a heartfelt conversation on Cody Rhodes’ podcast, What Do You Wanna Talk About?, Becky detailed the personal significance behind her aspiration for another child and how it intertwines with her career ambitions.
“I love that my daughter is always, oh god, she’s always asking for a little brother. She wants a little brother. You know, so that’s one of those things. You’re like, ‘Oh, I’m really loving wrestling. I’m loving the acting roles that I’m getting.’ Kind of feel like momentum is on my side and eventually, you know, I would love to have another one. We gotta kind of figure that out. And what, you know, she said, it was like the worst thing she could possibly say to me. She’s like, ‘When you’re done working, when you make enough money, then can I have my little brother?'”
