Renee Paquette recently paid a visit to The Bella Twins and appeared on their podcast to discuss her pregnancy and making it public. Paquette spoke about husband Jon Moxley throwing her off guard with the announcement on AEW Dynamite about their pregnancy.
Paquette said, “We knew that we were pretty close to announcing that I was pregnant. He was on the road, already in Jacksonville. He was like, ‘So when are we going to tell people?’ I figured over Thanksgiving or something. Literally, the day prior, I went and had one of my last ultrasounds. Everything looked good, and I was like, ‘Alright, we’re in the clear. I think we’re good to let people know.’ And he was like, ‘I think I’m going to say it in one of my promos.’ I was like, ‘Huh? You are?!’ Because you guys know, he’s so private. He keeps to himself. But then I was like, you know what? I love that because it just takes the pressure off of me.”
Renee then began talking about the way he delivered the actual promo. She said, “I love that it wasn’t necessarily a promo to announce that he was going to be a dad. He was like, ‘Anyways, my wife’s at home pregnant. Now I’m going to go kick the s*** out of this guy!’ It was like, such a throwaway line that literally, because he had pre-taped it, he was like, ‘It’s going to be on like any second.’ And I was waiting for the west coast feed of the show, so I was just kind of watching my phone, and right away, people were like, ‘Did I just hear that right?’ My phone just instantly blew up. Yeah, it was crazy.”
