Carmella and Graves have been on cloud nine since last month following the birth of their second son named Bram Julian. The former NXT star was taken off television via an attack by Brock Lesnar in mid-September so that he could be with his wife during the final stages of her pregnancy.

In a post on Instagram, Carmella shared a reel of herself with Corey Graves and their two sons, Dimitri Paul and Bram Julian, during a personal photoshoot. She also had the words "I can't believe they're all mine" written on the video. She also had an emotional caption for her post.

The couple has been together since 2019, with their relationship also being made public on Total Divas. They got married in April 2022 and welcomed their first son in November 2023. Carmella had an ectopic pregnancy, which caused a miscarriage six months after their wedding.

Corey Graves also has three children, daughters Lola and Lenny and son Cash, with her ex-wife, Amy.


Carmella called out WWE about Corey Graves' paternity leave

In one of Carmella's Instagram stories last month, she called out WWE for failing to compromise about Corey Graves' paternity leave. She didn't expect to be about a week late in her delivery, but she wasn't happy that the company didn't allow Graves to spend more time with them after Bram's birth.

"His paternity leave started a week early, and since Bram was past his due date, by the time he was born, Matt (Graves) had to go back to work. He had to go back like five days after we came home from the hospital, which s*cks. But I guess I'd rather have him leave a little early postpartum than have him miss the birth of his child. So we had to compromise. I still think he should have way more time off than just five days after the baby’s born. That’s crazy," Carmella said. [H/T Ringside News]

Graves was written off WWE television on the September 19 episode of SmackDown. He made his return almost a month later on the October 17 edition of the blue-branded show.
