Rusev and CJ Perry (whom a lot of fans may remember as Lana) recently announced that they’re expecting their first child.
The couple first started dating each other in 2013, after working together on WWE television. Three years later, they tied the knot with each other.
In 2023, the couple separated from each other. But just a few months later (according to TMZ), they started talking to each other again and eventually rekindled their relationship. They renewed their wedding vows in early 2025.

Rusev and Perry recently announced via PEOPLE that they are expecting their first child through in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The couple said that they’re expecting a baby boy and are planning to name him Bear Petrov Barnyashev.
“We’re so excited and incredibly thankful. Miro and I have both always wanted to be parents, so being given this blessing fills our hearts with so much gratitude,” said Perry. “After everything it took to get here, we can’t wait to meet our little boy.”
Rusev recently made his return to WWE during a house show in Hawaii on October 16. He had been on the sidelines due to an unknown injury, which he suffered while wrestling Je’Von Evans back in July.
