Carmella shares a heartfelt update amid WWE hiatus
WWE Superstar Carmella recently shared a heartfelt update amid her absence from television. The former SmackDown Women's Champion has been out of action for over a year and a half.
The 37-year-old last competed in a televised match on the March 6, 2023, edition of the red brand. She lost the singles bout to former RAW Women's Champion Bianca Belair. Carmella then decided to take a break from WWE to focus on her pregnancy. She and her husband, SmackDown commentator Corey Graves welcomed their son Dimitri on November 8, last year.
Their son celebrated his first birthday today, and the former Money in the Bank winner took to her Instagram account earlier in the day to wish Dimitri on his special day. She posted multiple pictures of her child with a heartfelt message in the caption.
"My baby boy. You are my world. Wishing the happiest first birthday to you!! I’ve been searching for the right words for this post, but the truth is, nothing can fully encapsulate the first year of motherhood. It’s been a year of the highest highs and some of the lowest lows. Days where we thrived and others where we simply survived. There’s been so much laughter, so many tears, endless self doubt and the never ending mom guilt. There were moments I wondered if I’d ever feel like myself again. The days felt so long, yet somehow the weeks and months went by in a blink," she wrote.
The former four-time WWE 24/7 Women's Champion further expressed her love for her son. Mella noted that she was proud of her baby and herself as well.
"Through it all, the one thing I never questioned was how much I love this boy. He is my everything. I look at him and he’s so big, so strong, so smart, so perfectly him.. which makes me realize, even on the hardest days, I’m doing something right. Today, I’m celebrating him, my perfect baby boy, who has made this year unforgettable. But I’m also taking a moment to celebrate me. One whole year of becoming a mother. I am so proud of him, and I’m proud of myself too🤍," she added.
