Baby Bliss – literally! Ryan Cabrera and WWE star Alexa Bliss are expecting their first child.
“The best times in life are the most unexpected,” the 31-year-old pro wrestler wrote via Instagram on Monday, May 30, alongside a slideshow of sweet maternity photos with the “On the Way Down” musician, 40. years. “Baby Cabrera arriving December 2023!!! @ryancabrera.
Bliss – who married the “True” singer in 2022 after three years of dating – shared several photos announcing the happy news.
One photo showed an ultrasound image above a sign showing the baby’s due date. Also in the snap was a white jumpsuit emblazoned with the phrase “Best Oops Ever!” Another image from the carousel featured the couple blowing up balloons in front of a Christmas tree. “This should pop,” Bliss’ pink balloon read, while Cabrera said “December 2023” as the duo held a picture of the ultrasound in their hands.
The third photo showed the lovebirds kissing while holding glasses of champagne. While the “Shine On” artist’s glass was filled with bubbles, Bliss’s was empty. Instead, the glass was covered with a post-it note that read, “Do not fill until December.”
Cabrera, for his part, shared similar images on his Instagram account, along with several other LOL-worthy snaps. In several photos, the MTV alum wore a shirt that read, “We’re pregnant but mostly her.” In another, he sported a fake baby bump.
“It was a total surprise, because we weren’t trying at all,” Bliss told E! News Monday. Cabrera added that the couple were “a million percent surprised,” but the couple “couldn’t be more excited.”
The Ohio native added, “We immediately FaceTimed my mom. And then shared the news with Ryan’s family.”
The duo’s exciting announcement follows a cancer scare for Bliss.
“There was a spot on my face that had gotten worse. SO [I] went to look [a] biopsy. [It] was a basal cell carcinoma. During my procedure, the doctor also found other squamous cells,” the TV personality shared via social media in March. “Was a quick and easy procedure. Happy to always have my skin checked.
Bliss and Cabrera met “because of a rumor that we were dating,” she revealed on “The Bellas Podcast” in August 2020, several months before their engagement. “When TMZ put this out, we were friends at the time. You know how WWE fans are? They’re very passionate and into our personal lives. He ‘liked’ some of my tweets, and a fan saw that and started a whole Instagram that we were dating and tagged everyone in the business,” she explained.
After Cabrera invited Bliss to one of his concerts, the pair “became really good friends” — and soon, something more. The “40 Kinds of Sadness” singer popped the question in November.
“A year ago we said hello, tonight I said YES @ryancabrera,” Bliss said via Instagram at the time, alongside a photo of Cabrera on one knee. The Texas native, for his part, wrote via his Instagram Story, “Tonight was the best night of my life!!! And that’s just the beginning !!!”
Before walking down the aisle in April 2022, Cabrera is famous The hills‘ Audrina Patridge in 2010 and 2018 and was previously linked to Ashlee Simpsonmaking several appearances on The Ashlee Simpson Show in the early 2000s. Bliss, for her part, called off her engagement to another WWE star Murphy in 2018.
