WWE Superstar Naomi appeared on The Nikki & Brie Show
yesterday and opened up about the possibility of stepping
away from WWE to have children.
Naomi on the possibility of having children (15:37-17:50)
Brie Garcia: Do you guys talk about it? I feel like you guys
have been talking about it for the last decade.
Naomi: He’s been talking about it for a long time.
Nikki Garcia: Yeah. He was ready to lock it in.
Brie Garcia: He was ready 16 years ago.
Naomi: But my step kids, they’re 16 and 18 now.
Nikki Garcia: No, I can’t believe that.
Naomi: Jaiden is in college. Jayla’s next. So we’re also
like, “Do we do it? Do we start all over?” or you know, do
we just ride this thing out how it is, which is great too,
so I never thought I’d be here struggling with this
decision. I always wanted kids young. I always wanted a lot,
but now I’m like, “Oh my gosh.” Your girl is getting up
there. You know? I’m 37 and I’m like…
Nikki Garcia: That’s when I had Te.
Naomi: Whoa, like time. There’s no time. I got to figure
this out, like, yesterday.
Nikki Garcia: You guys, we were 20, and you’re younger than
us, so think of this. We started filming “Total Divas” at
29, 28 or 29.
Naomi: Nuts.
Nikki Garcia: Nuts, so you must have been 25, 26. I mean,
that’s kind of wild.
Naomi: It went by so fast. I can’t believe I’m like, you
know, asking myself, struggling with that question, but I’m
definitely leaning towards it, but I also have, like, I’ve
had health issues. I only have one ovary, so even if I
wanted to continue wrestling longer, my biological clock, I
can’t. I have to.
Brie Garcia: So, you would probably have to do IVF and you’d
have to go through a whole process?
Nikki Garcia: Or surrogate or something?
Naomi: We have a lot to figure out, so I definitely, I
won’t, you know, I have to step away and, you know, take
care of my health, take care of myself and if we’re going to
have kids, I have to start that process very soon, so with
that on my mind, too, and on my plate, I think that makes,
you know, my time left here even more special and valuable
to me and that’s why I’m like, just so passionate about what
I’m doing, because I really think this might be it.
