In an interview with People earlier this year, Nikki and Brie, both 36, revealed that they were both pregnant and due less than two weeks apart.

"Wait, twins being pregnant at the same time. People are going to think that’s a joke. We both are shocked. People are going to think we planned it, but you can’t really plan pregnancy!" Brie told the outlet.

"It was a total surprise. It took me a good week to come to terms with like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m pregnant.’ I’m not ready for it," Nikki told People.

Last year, Nikki and Brie announced they were retiring from the WWE after the former learned she had a brain cyst.
