Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan and more react as former WWE star announces pregnancy
Several past and present WWE Superstars took to Instagram to express their delight after finding out about Jessica McKay's (fka Billie Kay) pregnancy.
Jessica was a part of the global juggernaut for nearly six years, with her most notable run in the company coming alongside Peyton Royce, aka Cassandra McIntosh. The duo, known as The IIconics, were a prominent part of the company's tag team division and won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship once before getting released from their contracts in 2021.
McKay recently took to Instagram to announce that she is expecting her first child in December this year. The 33-year-old posted a heartwarming video that received a flurry of responses from several current and former WWE Superstars, including Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan, Nikki Bella, and many more.
Billie Kay joined Impact Wrestling after leaving WWE
Billie Kay joined the Stamford-based promotion in 2015, after which she was assigned to the developmental NXT. She spent some time on the brand as a singles wrestler before joining forces with Peyton Royce to form The IIconics.
The duo made their main roster debut in 2018 and immediately became one of the most popular acts in the company. While they failed to win NXT Women's Tag Team Championship during their time on the then Black and Gold brand, they were able to capture the Women's Tag Team Championship on the main roster after defeating three other teams at WrestleMania 35.

Despite being overly popular with the fans, the IIconics were forced to disband after losing to The Riott Squad as per the pre-match stipulation. Their screen time reduced significantly after the break-up, and they were eventually released from their contracts during the budget cuts of 2021.
