Recently, rumors began circulating within the wrestling community suggesting that WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley was pregnant with her husband Buddy Matthews’ child prior to her return to WWE. The speculation appeared online after Ripley took time off from in-ring action, with some fans pointing to her absence and a few questionable social media photos as “evidence” of a possible pregnancy. While the rumors quickly gained traction on wrestling forums and fan pages, they lacked any official confirmation from Ripley or WWE.
Rhea Ripley later addressed the topic during an interview, directly refuting the pregnancy speculation. She explained that starting a family is not currently part of her plans, primarily due to the intense and demanding schedule that comes with life as a professional wrestler. Ripley mentioned that while she respects other women, like Becky Lynch, who have managed to balance motherhood and wrestling, she personally isn’t ready for that commitment. According to her, the idea of raising a child while constantly on the road would be extremely difficult, and she would prefer to wait several years before considering parenthood.
Despite Ripley’s clear statement, the rumor continues to resurface occasionally, often driven by fan speculation and online gossip. However, there has been no official statement or evidence supporting the claim that Ripley was ever pregnant. For now, she remains focused on her wrestling career and maintaining her dominant presence within the WWE. As always, fans are encouraged to respect the personal boundaries of performers and not to jump to conclusions based on unfounded speculation.
