Kofi Kingston On Lessons He Learned Working With CM Punk And R-Truth

In a recent interview with Into the Danger Zone, former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston took some time to talk about his personal life. Most notably, his wife’s pregnancy and how he is feeling as the due date approaches.

“It’s less than two weeks now; the due date is November 11, so it’s right around the corner. It’s crazy. You know what’s crazy? With this pregnancy, like — I keep saying we like I’m having the baby. I got to do the fun part, you know what I’m saying,” Kofi joked. “I didn’t have to do the pushing or any of that. So, I thought, with my other two sons, I had been on the road for the majority of the year and the duration of the pregnancy. But it went by, like, really fast. So I was like, ‘Okay, cool.’

“I’ve been home obviously, with the pandemic and everything, and our schedule isn’t as vigorous as it’s been in the past. So, I’m like, ‘Okay, now that I’m home maybe it will go by slower.’ Right, because I’m here more to see everything. And that’s not the case at all, like, I feel like it’s gone by even faster. It felt twice as fast. Like, it’s crazy that we’re legit two weeks out and the whole dynamic of the house is about to change.

“Yeah, I’m nervous about [having a girl], man,” he added. “You know, being a girl dad and everything, I feel like they talk about selective attention, selective retention, and stuff you start noticing in the real world. And when I found out that we were having a girl, I’d go to the airports and I’d see, like, fathers with their daughters, and I’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s going to be me.’ Or like, some young daughter lipping off to their parents, ‘Oh no, that’s going to be me!’ What am I going to do? What am I going to say, you know? So, I’m just super excited for this blessing in our lives.”
