Candice LeRae has released her first statement to talk about her pregnancy and address her future in NXT.
Candice LeRae and Johnny Gargano announced they were expecting their first child recently. The couple revealed their wonderful news via Twitter and now LaRae has taken to Instagram to issue further comments.
In the post, the proud mother-to-be wrote she won’t be leaving NXT until she absolutely has to. She states she needs to be there for Indi Hartwell and the women’s locker room.
Here’s what LeRae posted:
Just when I didn’t think I could possibly be happier, you all proved me wrong. My heart is so full of love and support I never expected.
This road for me and Johnny has been long and I’ve had days where I thought this would never happen for us. It’s hard as a woman to choose between your career you’ve wanted since childhood and growing a life inside you. There never seems to be a right time. I have been a wrestler for 19 years and it’s been my constant since I was a little girl. It’s my first love. It’s given me irreplaceable friends, a brother, experiences I’d have never had otherwise, the blessing of traveling the world, the ability to make an impact on people’s lives, and (last but not least) a husband.
I don’t plan on being “away” until I absolutely have to. Indi clearly needs me! And I want to be there for my locker room of girls as long as I possibly can! However, I do have to take a step back from my favorite part of this business for a while- physically wrestling. But I know this little one is going to be soooo very worth every second away from the ring.
I’m incredibly thankful for the love and support from everyone! It’s helped me feel at peace and whole and I’m sure this little one growing inside me feels every bit of it too!
I’m incredibly lucky. Thank you all. I love you 3000!
Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell have a mother/daughter relationship on NXT. Together they won the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships and are currently in a storyline involving Dexter Lumis.
All at Diva Dirt send a massive congratulations to Candice LeRae and Johnny Gargano.
