Since her return to WWE in 2023, Chelsea Green has achieved notable milestones in her wrestling career, holding two reigns as the WWE Women’s United States Champion and one as AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champion. Alongside these accomplishments, she has built her ideal home in Florida. Despite this progress, Green has been reflecting deeply on the challenges she faces regarding motherhood while maintaining her wrestling career.
Green’s Reflections on Family and Career Choices
Speaking on WWE Unreal, Chelsea Green shared her thoughts about envisioning her future family life.
“This view [from the house], I just imagine when I eventually have kids, I’m going to sit out there looking at the beautiful trees and the lake and it’s just like everything I ever dreamed of,”
she said, revealing how personal aspirations intertwine with her professional path. She also questioned the practicalities of motherhood in wrestling, asking,
“I never thought that I would have all this from wrestling. How do you do it? How do you have kids? Do you quit your job? Do you come back with your babies on the road? Do you leave your kids with a nanny?”
The Complex Reality of Being a Woman in Wrestling
Green conveyed the difficulty of balancing a successful wrestling career and pregnancy, acknowledging the tough decisions female wrestlers face.
“I feel like I’m just on this hot streak, and I don’t want to ruin it by getting pregnant. How awful is that, that I say that? But that’s just a reality of being a woman in wrestling. I mean, after ten years, I’m just starting to make money now,”
she admitted, highlighting the tension between career momentum and family planning.
Peers’ Experiences and Green’s Future Considerations
At 35, Chelsea Green shares her generation with Alexa Bliss, who announced her pregnancy and gave birth in 2023 before making her WWE return in early 2025. Similarly, WWE star Naomi is currently expecting her first child with husband Jimmy Uso. While Green has yet to confirm if she will start a family soon, she has indicated she might wrestle while traveling with her children in tow, navigating the challenges of motherhood within the wrestling world.
Implications for Women in Wrestling
Chelsea Green’s candid discussion sheds light on the complex choices female wrestlers must face, balancing career success against personal and family goals. As the WWE continues to feature more women managing both roles, Green’s story underscores the evolving landscape of wrestling and motherhood, potentially influencing how future talent approaches these intertwined paths.
