Montez Ford had a lot going on behind the scenes over the past several months, and he is now letting the world know exactly what that looked like.
Following Bianca Belair’s surprise pregnancy announcement at WrestleMania 42 night one, Ford took to Instagram to document everything he had been quietly juggling since the news was first confirmed privately, offering a window into just how much he managed to keep under wraps while continuing to show up and perform on WWE television.
The post confirms that Ford and Belair kept the pregnancy private for six months before revealing it to the world at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas. The announcement came during night one of the show when Belair made a surprise appearance in the ring after John Cena announced the attendance, telling the crowd that the EST is having a baby. The reaction inside Allegiant Stadium was one of the most emotional moments of the entire weekend.
The Instagram post also reveals that Ford has completed work on a music album during the same stretch, adding a creative milestone to what was already an extraordinary period in his personal life. The admission that he gained weight during the pregnancy and then trained for eight weeks to get back in shape before Raw adds yet another layer to the behind-the-scenes reality of what Ford was managing while keeping the biggest news of his life a secret from the public.
“GAINED SOME WEIGHT. MADE A BABY. KEPT IT A SECRET FOR 6 MONTHS. TRAINED 8 WEEKS. LOST THE WEIGHT. FINISHED THE ALBUM. COMPLETED 8 MILLION ‘HONEY-DOs.’ RETURNED THE MONDAY NIGHT AFTER MANIA. KINGS BACK,” Ford wrote alongside photos showing his physical transformation.
Ford returned to Raw the night after WrestleMania 42 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, making his comeback to television just 24 hours after the couple shared their news with the world.
