Former WWE Superstar Gable Steveson rang in the New Year with a life moment that has nothing to do with championships, contracts, or combat sports.
On December 31, 2025, Steveson officially became a father. His partner, Maddie Mitchell, took to Instagram to announce the birth of their daughter, sharing the babys name and birthdate in a short but emotional post.
The announcement capped off a major year of change for Steveson, both personally and professionally. The couple first revealed they were expecting back in August 2025, when Steveson shared photos of the two enjoying time on a boat, letting fans in on the next chapter of their lives.
Since leaving WWE, Stevesons career path has been anything but straightforward. He briefly pivoted toward the NFL, signing with the Buffalo Bills, before moving on from football altogether. From there, he shifted gears again, this time diving into the MMA world. Steveson has been training under elite names including Jon Jones as he continues to explore his future in combat sports.
Now, with a daughter officially in his arms, the spotlight shifts. Titles, tryouts, and training camps take a back seat to diapers, late nights, and fatherhood. While Stevesons athletic future is still unfolding, his personal life just took center stage in a way no career move ever could.
With Stori Wynn entering the picture on the final day of 2025, Gable Steveson starts the new year wearing a brand-new title dad.
