WWE superstar Carmella has shared a powerful topless selfie with her newborn baby boy.
The 36-year-old professional wrestler, dancer and model welcomed little Dimitri Paul Polinsky into the world last week alongside her commentator husband Corey Graves, 39, and she admitted she’s had a ‘rough’ time since giving birth.
She posted a censored photo of herself posing in her bedroom, holding her son to her chest with her postpartum figure on show.
She wrote alongside the picture: ‘5 days post partum. I’m not gonna lie, it’s been a rough week. My labor and delivery was nothing like I expected or planned for (nothing ever is!)
‘I’m still trying to process all of it. I definitely want to share my birth story with you all when I’m ready. Thank you all so much for the calls, texts, messages and love. We so appreciate it.’
For the time being, Carmella said she’ll be sporting ‘matching diapers’ with Dimitri, and enjoying being in love with her newborn.
She continued: ‘As for now, I’ll be in matching diapers with my perfect angel boy and soaking up all of the cuddles and lovins.. you all were so right, it’s a feeling you just can’t explain.
‘Soooo in love. #postpartum #postpartumjourney #newmomlife #fourthtrimester (sic)’
She shared the same snap on her Instagram story alongside another shot from a week ago, showing the transformation her body underwent during and since giving birth.
‘The difference a week can make,’ she wrote, while her fellow wrestlers have flooded the original post with messages of support.
Katana Chance, Cora Jade and WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella all responded with heart emojis, while Ronda Rousey commented: Great work mama!’
Summer Rae added: ‘Congratulations! You are already such a good momma.’
The former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion said welcoming him into the world was ‘well worth’ her lengthy 60-hour labour as she introduced him on her Instagram alongside a sweet family photo.
‘Dimitri Paul Polinsky,’ she wrote. ‘11.8.23 8lbs 21 inches…well worth the 60 hour labor (more on that another day).’
However, she has since added to her Instagram Story: ‘I would also like to point out that this little meatball was actually 8 lbs 8 oz! There was a mistake when they originally gave us his weight and come to find out, he was a lot bigger than we were originally told!’
Carmella went through two miscarriages in September and October last year, and she has kept her followers up to date on her journey during her pregnancy, documenting her changing body and saying how she is ‘in awe’ of the female body.
