Maria Kanellis and her husband, AEW star Mike Bennett, have recently welcomed their third child together, and congratulations are in order for the happy couple. The duo got married in October 2014 after being engaged for nearly two years. Their first child, a daughter, was born in April 2018, followed by a baby boy in February 2020.
On January 19, Maria Kanellis took to her social media accounts to announce the birth of their newest addition, a baby boy named William Mercury Bennett. The name William comes from Maria’s grandfather and brother, both of whom she considers to be strong and resilient individuals. William Mercury’s name symbolizes a strong-willed warrior and messenger, and the couple is overjoyed with their new bundle of joy.
In addition to the exciting baby news, Maria Kanellis also opened up about her recent health struggles in a candid post on social media. She revealed that she had undergone several surgeries, including the removal of half of her thyroid, an adrenal gland, and polyps, as well as treatment for a life-threatening tumor and skin cancer. Despite these challenges, Maria remained positive and shared her plans to potentially return to the wrestling world in a behind-the-scenes capacity with Wrestling Army.
Maria Kanellis last competed in a WWE ring in 2019, and while her future in wrestling remains uncertain, fans can’t help but wonder if she will make a comeback to the squared circle in the future. Regardless, the wrestling community is thrilled for Maria and Mike as they embark on this new chapter as a family of five.
As we celebrate this joyous occasion, Sportskeeda Wrestling extends our warmest congratulations to Maria Kanellis and Mike Bennett on the arrival of their newest family member. We wish them the best as they navigate parenthood and continue to inspire fans around the world with their resilience and strength.
