Pat McAfee and wife Samantha welcome birth of first child

It's a great day for Pat McAfee and his family.

McAfee announced on Thursday that he and his wife Samantha have welcomed their first child into the world. The baby is a girl, and McAfee noted that the baby and mother are both healthy.

"Today’s a day that @MrsMcAfeeShow and I have been dreaming of," McAfee wrote. "I can’t wait to see where this foot gets to go beautiful girl. WE LOVE YOU. Baby and Momma are both healthy. Momma and I are floating with joy. This is amazing. Thanks for all of the good vibes."

The McAfees announced in November 2022 that they were expecting their first child. Samantha detailed her parenthood journey, which included two lost pregnancies where she needed to undergo life-threatening emergency surgeries.

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.

Though he's been away from his full-time role with WWE since starting with ESPN's College GameDay last September, McAfee made surprise appearances at both the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania earlier this year. McAfee defeated The Miz in an impromptu match at WrestleMania 39 night one.

McAfee commented on his status with WWE this March, writing that his WWE dream isn't over.

"A lot of wrestling chatter about me right now.. I think about wrestling everyday..that dream isn’t done," McAfee tweeted. "My business is currently rather active and exigent…+ baby on the way…timing is everything I still have MASSIVE plans for my journey to the WWE HOF someday. Believe that."
