Maria Kanellis & Mike Bennett Announce Birth Of Third Child

Maria Kanellis and Mike Bennett have welcomed their third child into the world, announcing the news on Tuesday. Kanellis posted to her Twitter account to announce their son William Mercury Bennett was born on Monday. She included photos, as you can see in the tweet below.

Kanellis wrote:

“William Mercury Bennett was born yesterday afternoon at 7 pounds 7ounces and 18.8 inches. He is an absolute angel. William gets his name from his great-grandfather who is my godfather and was an immigrant from Greece. And my brother who is a veteran, husband, father, and wonderful brother. They are two of the toughest men I know. William Mercury’s name means strong willed warrior, messenger. We are so in love.”

“For this child I have prayed.” Samuel 1:27″

The couple have two other children. Their daughter Fredrica was born in 2018, and their first son Carver was born in February of 2020. Kanellis announced that they were expecting last June.

Bennett is currently signed with AEW/ROH. His last match for them was on the November 6th episode of ROH On HonorClub, where he teamed with Matt Taven in a loss to SkyFlight. Taven reportedly exited AEW earlier this month when his contract expired, but Bennett is still with the company.

On behalf of 411, congratulations to the family!
