NEED TO KNOW
- Leah Van Dale has officially welcomed baby no. 2
- This is the second child for Val Dale and her husband, Matt Polinsky, who is known in the WWE as Corey Graves
- The former WWE star, who’s known as Carmella, is also a co-parent to Polinsky’s three older children
Leah Van Dale’s family just got a whole lot bigger.
The wrestler, formerly known as Carmella in the WWE, 37, welcomed her second baby, a son named Bram Julian Polinsky, with her husband and fellow WWE star, Matt Polinsky, 41, sharing the happy news on Instagram on Friday, Oct. 10.
In the joint post, the newly minted parents shared a black-and-white photo with their little one.
“Bram julian polinsky 🤍 you’ve changed my life forever, baby boy,” she wrote in the caption.
The newborn joins the couple’s son Dimitri Paul Polinsky, whom they welcomed in November 2023. Van Dale also coparents Polinsky’s three older children — daughters Lola and Lenny and son Cash.
She and Polinsky, known in the WWE as Corey Graves, announced the sex of their newborn in June, with Van Dale exclusively telling PEOPLE at the time that she was “excited to give Dimitri a little brother.”
“I really love being a boy mom, and I’m just thrilled,” said Van Dale. “And I don’t have to buy any new clothes, which is amazing.”
The new mom said at the time that she opted for a quieter reveal with this pregnancy as it was “completely different” than her first.
“We didn’t do anything crazy. I feel like because it’s the second time around, it’s different,” the Snatch founder said.
“I feel like I’m so exhausted this pregnancy, chasing after a toddler,” she continued. “It’s just not the same as my first pregnancy.”

“The first one, every event, every little milestone in my pregnancy, we celebrated. We did a party, we did an event, we did whatever,” said Van Dale. “This time, we had some of our family over and we told our kids.”
One thing that hasn’t changed, however, is the support she gets from Polinsky.
“He’s traveling all the time. He’s on the road and dealing with time changes, and jet lag and he’s constantly working,” said Van Dale. “For him to be doing all of that and still be so supportive and understanding of what it is I’m going through… He really is just the best.”
