McAfee usually commentates on WWE’s SmackDown brand with veteran announcer Michael Cole, but took a leave of absence beginning September 7 to join ESPN’s College GameDay.

Now Samantha McAfee has taken to Twitter to announce the happy news.

She wrote:

“For those of you who haven’t followed along with our parenthood journey, we have lost two pregnancies, I almost lost my life both times with internal bleeding, resulting in losing both of my Fallopian tubes which has caused us to not be able to conceive naturally.

“In July, we started our IVF journey. It’s hard to put into words what all comes with IVF. It is physically demanding and emotionally challenging for the both of us.

“Pumping my body with so many hormones, the anxiety, the hope, truly being a human science project.

“Also despite my many tattoos, I absolutely hate needles so getting shots everyday (sometimes 3 in one day) was not easy on me or for Patrick to have to cause pain to me.

“I would like to believe IVF has made our relationship stronger.

Dear women and couples trying and battling, I hope this isn’t a trigger but rather serves as hope. Hope that you too can over come the battle of infertility.

“You will be parents! And remember that after a storm, a rainbow can occur.”

McAfee last wrestled at SummerSlam, when he defeated Happy Corbin.

WrestleTalk wishes the happy couple all the best for the future.
