“Welcome to the world Roux,” she wrote. “You are the love of our lives.”

Lynch, whose real name is Rebecca Quinn, and Rollins, real name Colby Lopez, announced that they were expecting their first child earlier this summer.

The couple had originally planned to marry in May but postponed their wedding due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Becky told PEOPLE magazine earlier this year that she had “always wanted kids.”

“I’m just so career-focused that it became one of those things that, when you’re chasing a dream for so long, I always wondered, ‘Am I going to get around to it? Is it going to happen for me?'” she said.

The pro wrestler also said that she had no issue postponing her wedding. “We’ll get around to that,” she said. “There’s no rush, and now we’ll have a little flower girl or a page boy.”

Rollins also told the publication that when he found out his fiancée was expecting, he was “so stoked.”

“We got the test back and it said pregnant and she was more shocked and I was just hyped,” he said. “I was so excited, I think, right out of the gate. I wish we had a camera on because I threw my arms up in the air, I was so excited about it.

“It’s one of those things where you never know when you’re going to be ready for something like that, but as soon as it happened, I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m ready to go, man. Let’s do this thing.’ It’s been a journey so far, the first half of it.”
