AEW's Nigel McGuinness has shared some of the most joyous news of his life: he and his partner, Kaori, are expecting their first child.
The announcement was made via a post on Kaori's official Instagram account, which was quickly met with a wave of congratulatory messages from fans, fellow wrestlers, and personalities across the wrestling world. The news adds a beautiful new chapter to what has been a fantastic 2025 for McGuinness, both professionally and personally.
After a decade-long retirement from in-ring competition due to medical issues, the former Ring of Honor World Champion has made a surprising and successful return to the ring this year. He has already competed in three matches, including a high-profile bout against Zack Sabre Jr. for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door in August. Simultaneously, he has continued his role as one of the leading voices of AEW, providing his unique and often polarizing commentary on AEW Collision.
This new addition to his family marks a significant milestone for McGuinness, who has captivated audiences for years with his brilliant in-ring work and sharp wit on commentary. The outpouring of support from the wrestling community highlights the respect and admiration he has earned throughout his career.
As the happy couple prepares to welcome their new family member, the wrestling world celebrates with them, sending their warmest wishes for this exciting new journey.
