WWE stars Nikki and Brie Bella celebrate births of new children a day apart

WWE Hall of Famers Nikki and Brie Bella are both celebrating new additions to the family after giving birth to baby boys on consecutive days.

Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan announced the birth of their second child on Sunday evening, posting a picture of the baby holding his parents' hands.

"It’s a BOY!!! 8-1-2020," Brie captioned the post, adding: "We are overwhelmed with joy and everyone is healthy!!!"

And just an hour after her twin sister's announcement, Nikki posted her own update on Instagram to welcome her first child into the world.

Alongside a similar picture of the baby holding her and fiancee Artem Chigvintsev's hands, Nikki wrote: "7/31/2020 Our baby boy is here and we couldn’t be HAPPIER and more in LOVE! Everyone is safe and healthy."

Artem also shared the news on Instagram, writing: "7/31/2020 please welcome our precious baby boy Chigvintsev. Proud of my love Nikki Bella."

The 36-year-old Bella Twins did not plan on becoming pregnant at the same time but both announced they were expecting in January and the due dates were anticipated to be very close.

Brie - who already has 3-year-old daughter Birdie with Daniel - told People magazine: “Wait, twins being pregnant at the same time?

“People are going to think that’s a joke. We are both shocked.

“People are going to think we planned it, but you can’t really plan pregnancy!”

Brie, a former WWE Divas Champion, believed it was unlikely she would have a second child and was shocked to find she was pregnant last November.

“My husband and I were trying for seven or eight months, but then I felt in my heart it was a sign from God, like, ‘You guys are good with one,’ so we stopped trying.

“When we were in France meeting Artem’s family, I felt a little off. I was irritated and uncomfortable in my body.

“When we got home, I took a test two days before Thanksgiving, and when I saw the positive sign, I was like, ‘Oh, s**t!’”

Nikki also spoke of her shock at becoming pregnant in her January announcement.

"I was definitely shocked when I found out. And so nervous!" she said. "I wasn't expecting it and felt I wasn't ready but this journey of life is unpredictable.

"I thank God every day and night for bringing this amazing blessing and miracle into my life! I am already SO IN LOVE!!"
