Comments

That’s quite early, but I really hope this is true! I live in the same town as them and I actually was volunteering at the hospital when Aurora was born – I didn’t know that though until I read the birth announcement in the newspaper.

- Sarah on February 6th, 2008

I hope it’s true too because they seem like a lovely family. I wonder if they have a boy, would they name him Hunter for his father (which is the popular internet rumour and has been for many years).

- Mary-Helen on February 6th, 2008

i had a feeling something like this was going on cos Triple H miss raw this week and will miss next weeks due to a family emergency

Angela’s note: Triple H’s absence has nothing to do with the suspected pregnancy. Sadly, his 41-year-old brother-in-law passed away suddenly and he is with his family.

- Lynae on February 7th, 2008

Hunter is his ring name, his real first name is Paul. i too hope this is true as they are very cute together. i had seen this rumor all around the net since about late last week.. but i have also seen she is due in July.. that would make her more than 4 weeks along.. if true

- shanesgirl on February 7th, 2008

It’s actually 4 months, she is due in July.

- Kitty on February 7th, 2008

HOPEFULLY THIS RUMORS IS TRUE..BECAUSE IT WILL BE GREAT AND WONDERFULL NEWS 4 PAUL..AND SAD NEWS 4 ME BUT AS LONG AS PAUL IS HAPPY IM SUPER HAPPY!!!!!!!…*******(HHH.# 1 FAN SUSAN)*******

- **SUSAN** on February 7th, 2008

Aww good for them, I like them. Hope they have a boy this time.

- fallon on February 8th, 2008

I’ve heard this rumor since the fall, but it’s just started to pick up steam as of late. I’d be happy for both if she really is pregnant. Aurora is adorable, and I’d love to see them with a little boy!

- FC on February 8th, 2008

I think it’s cool yet sorta funny that they’re actually married and having kids because I can still remember their faux WWF/WWE storyline ‘wedding’ at the drive thru chapel of love in Las Vegas! lol! XD

Anyway I think it’d be cool if they had a son this time, someone to carry on the wrestling tradition I guess. Even though Triple H’s real first name is Paul, they could still name their child Hunter if they wanted to since that’s a fairly popular child’s name.

(Or to carry on with the Sleeping Beauty references after Aurora Rose, they could name their son Philip, I guess. lol!)

Also that’s too bad about Tripe H’s brother-in-law. (Hopefully it wasn’t Shane.)

Angela’s note: No, it wasn’t Shane. It was his sister’s husband.

- Autumn on February 8th, 2008

LOL, Autumn, I was totally thinking the same about their daughter’s name. It’s so totally Sleeping Beauty! I love it, though: very pretty and girlish.

- Annina on February 10th, 2008

Yeah, the popular internet rumour is that instead of Paul Jr, if Triple H & Stephanie have a boy, they will name him Hunter to honour his father…kind of cheesy but it does sound nice with Aurora.

Either way, congrats to Triple H & Stephanie!

- Mary-Helen on February 10th, 2008

Wonderful congrats to them, hope they have a little boy this time.

- fallon on February 11th, 2008

Congrats. I used to be huge fan of wrestling, but I’m not anymore. It’d be nice if they had a boy this time, but another girl would still be great. I’m thinking if they have a son, he’ll be named Hunter-I like Hunter Paul as a name though. If it’s a girl, maybe they’ll name her after a disney princess or something since Aurora, who is SO cute by the way, is named after Sleeping Beauty. Maybe something like Ariel?? Anyway, I’m glad they’re having another one, and no matter what the sex is, I hope the baby arrives safe and sound, and obviously s/he will be beautiful =).

- J.J. on February 11th, 2008

How do you pronounce Aurora?

- Anna on February 11th, 2008

Anna, it’s pronounced:

A-roar-ra or Au-roar-ra.

I am a huge fan of wrestling and I think its awesome they are expecting again, I am hoping its a boy too, and that they name him Hunter, I think that would be two cute, Disney tradition would be awesome too.

Either way baby will be gorgeous just like mom, dad, and big sister Aurora.

- Audrey on February 11th, 2008

Hunter would be cool to name him after Paul’s ring name (maybe go the full 9 yards and name him Hunter Hearst Helmsley Levesque), or maybe name him after one of Paul’s friends in the business-Ric (Flair), Shawn (Michaels), or maybe Vince, after Steph’s father.

- Naughty Cal on February 11th, 2008

i hope paul and stephanie all the luck with thier second child..hopefully its a boy huh hhh?!?you should name it hunter if it’s a boy…..love you guys…DELOW

- delow on February 13th, 2008

That is great to hear. Congratulations to them. When in July are they expecting this child to arrive?

- Jennifer on February 13th, 2008

wwe.com has a statement from Stephanie herself up right now. It’s very cute!

I can’t wait to see pics of their new arrival!

- Mary-Helen on February 13th, 2008

Gotta love rumors. You get confirmation a lot quicker, as what she did when she was pregnant with Aurora. I’m happy for her and Paul! Now I can fully be happy for them without wondering…lmao.

Best of luck to them with this second pregnancy!

- FC on February 13th, 2008

i hope she has the baby on my birthday,july 11.that will be great.

- debbie on February 13th, 2008

they are having a boy! and they are so excited! yall have anymore ?s write me [e-mail]

- themesssenger on February 15th, 2008

Congratulation to them they are a brillent family.Aurora is so cute so will the newborn

- sam on February 15th, 2008

i am so excited for them. i hope they announce the sex of the baby before its born. i also hope if its a boy they name him hunter that would be so cte!

- alicia on February 19th, 2008

LOL, HHH is cursed. He just can’t get a male heir.

- Naughty Cal on February 20th, 2008

They wouldn’t know this early. If she’s due in July, there’s no way they would know the gender yet. Not to mention they chose not to find out the gender of Aurora. My SIL was due last year in the first week of July and she didn’t find out the gender until the first week of March.

- Mary-Helen on February 20th, 2008

Oh, and also, wasn’t everyone so sure Aurora was going to be a boy? That’s what sites were reporting, and it turned out they were just misquoting Hunter (sorry, it’s hard to think of him as Paul). It looks like the news comes from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, which is held up as a beacon among wrestling sites, but is often about as accurate as a lot of the tabloids.

- Naughty Cal on February 20th, 2008

I agree with Mary-Helen. Isn’t it a bit early to find out the sex of the baby?? I mean I don’t even think Stephanie is even past 18 weeks, and you cannot find out the sex of the any earlier than 18 weeks. So I don’t think it’s true that they found out the sex, and if it is true indeed, then wonderful.

Sarah’s note: Well, she’s only 31, but she could have had some genetic testing done, and in that case she could know the sex by now if she wanted to. Julia Roberts knew about Hazel and Phin at 9 weeks because of it!

- J.J. on February 20th, 2008

Actually they very well could know the sex by now. I am due July 1st and found out last week (at exactly 20 weeks) that I am having a girl. I go to a parenting site daily and some of the women due up to two weeks before me have already found out weeks ago as well. My own sister found out she was having a girl at 14 weeks with a 3D ultrasound.

You might not want to trust the results 100% that early but it CAN be done.

- Lin on February 20th, 2008

It’d be nice if it was a girl, but I wouldn’t mind if she had a boy. Hell, I don’t care what the sex is, honestly, I just can’t wait to see the baby.

As for the report, those particular sites reporting are never accurate with their information. I’ll only believe it if Paul or Stephanie report it, or just wait until the baby’s born.

- FC on February 21st, 2008

I guess you are right Lin (and congratulations!). I was reading some websites dealing with this and it turns out that you can find the sex of the baby earlier than 18 weeks, but according to one site I read from, you cannot accurately confirm the sex until the baby develops a little more. It’s at 18 weeks when you can accurately confirm it. So it’s 50/50 chance of being right about whether it’s a little boy or a little girl if you find out a bit earlier. I’d rather find out the sex of my kids sometime after 18 weeks, so then I don’t have to be told that it’s a girl first, and then weeks later be told that it’s a boy instead.

Sarah’s note: But again, you can know way earlier with genetic testing if you get it. It’s either XX or XY.

- J.J. on February 21st, 2008

Totally possible to know the sex of the baby by now. A friend of mine is pregnant & due at the end of June, she’s known via-scan since Janurary that she’s having a boy. I was only 16 weeks along when I found out I was having a boy.

- Jess on February 21st, 2008

Thank you JJ! Yeah my sister didn’t start painting the nursery or anything. I wouldn’t either. I have known a few people that were told it was one and then the baby comes out the other. From reading about this happening to other people it seems more common that you are told a girl when it’s really a boy.
Not really scientific facts or anything. Just what I have noticed.
Hopefully our little one “stays” a girl. We have two boys already and they are so excited to have a baby sister.

- Lin on February 21st, 2008

If it is a boy, I think they should name him Hunter Paul.

- Shelly on February 23rd, 2008

If you go to WWE.com, it is confirmed!http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/6435932
It does not say anything about sex of the child, just that she’s pregnant and due this summer. Congrats to both families!!

- tricia'smommy on February 23rd, 2008

- debbie on February 26th, 2008

does anyone know where you can find pics of aurora. i would like to see one i have yet seen one.

- mc on March 31st, 2008

This has been a rumor that I’ve been trying to figure out for the longest time.And now I finally did!Honestly, I think that it would be fine if Stephanie would have a boy or a girl or twins or triplets or whatever!Either way, I know the baby(s) will be adorable just like the rest of hisor her family.Congradulations to Stephanie and Paul!(If it’s a boy, I wonder if he’ll name it after his brother-in-law that past away or one of his friends in the wrestling business.)

P.S.;Does anyone one know where I can find a picture of Aurora?I’ve been dying to find one.

- Courtney on May 3rd, 2008
