McAfee has been away from WWE programming for a long time. While he remains part of the company, there is no word on when he will return to resume his duties as a color commentator.

Amid the hiatus, Pat McAfee's wife, Samantha, recently took to Instagram to reveal that the two are expecting their second child in 2026. She shared a series of sonogram pictures and disclosed the child's gender. Samantha also disclosed the IVF journey she had to undergo.

"The path that led us here was filled with needles, hormones, countless appointments, and more emotion than we ever knew two hearts could hold. IVF pushed my body to its limits and stretched our spirits in ways we never expected. It was hope and heartbreak, faith and fear — all tangled together as we trusted science and prayed for another miracle."

She continued:

"And now, with humbled hearts and overwhelming gratitude, we are overjoyed to share that we are expecting a baby boy, arriving June 2026. To every woman and couple still in the thick of this journey: you are not alone. I hope our news doesn’t cause you pain, but instead offers a spark of hope. Hope that your story isn’t over. Hope that the impossible can become possible. One day, this storm will pass—and when it does, may your rainbow find you."

Pat McAfee competed inside the WWE ring earlier this year

Pat McAfee has been part of WWE for nearly seven years, during which he has played multiple roles. While the former NFL star has primarily been a commentator on weekly shows over the last few years, he wrestled earlier this year, facing Gunther in a singles match.

McAfee stood up to The Ring General when he tried to attack Michael Cole. This led to a match between the two at Backlash, where Gunther emerged victorious.

Pat McAfee has not been seen much on WWE programming since then. He noted back in June that he felt exhausted and would therefore be taking some time off.
