Naomi's character work has resonated with WWE fans, but her recent statements suggest her time in the ring might be drawing to a close. In a conversation on The Nikki & Brie Show, alongside WWE Hall of Famers Nikki and Brie Bella, the topic of starting a family came about, leading Naomi to share some personal reflections on her future.
When asked about the prospect of having children, Naomi revealed a sense of urgency, stating, "I always wanted kids young. I always wanted a lot. Your girl is getting up there. I'm 37. Time. I've got to figure this out like yesterday. I'm asking myself and struggling with that question.
I'm definitely leaning towards it, but I've had health issues. I only have one ovary. Even if I wanted to continue wrestling longer, my biological clock, I can't. We got a lot to figure out."
Naomi married fellow WWE superstar Jonathan Fatu, known to fans as Jimmy Uso, in January 2014. Through her marriage, she is also a stepmother to Jimmy Uso's two children from a previous relationship. While she embraces her role as a stepmother, the desire to have her own biological children presents a different set of considerations.

Elaborating on the potential need to prioritize her health and family aspirations, Naomi explained, "I have to step away and take care of my health and myself. If we're going to have kids, I have to start that process very soon. With that on my mind and on my plate, I think that makes my time left here even more special and valuable to me. That's why I'm so passionate about what I'm doing because I think this might be it."

The former two-time SmackDown Women's Champion and two-time WWE Women's Tag Team Champion recently underwent a significant character shift, turning heel and engaging in a high-profile feud with Jade Cargill, culminating in a match at WrestleMania 41 where Cargill went over.
Naomi made a notable return to WWE in January 2024 at the Royal Rumble, after departing the company in 2022. Her successful tenure in TNA, where she held the Knockouts World Championship as Trinity, was crucial in securing a new contract with WWE. Since her return, she has been a consistently featured player on the SmackDown brand.

WWE Money In The Bank 2025: Date, Time And How To Watch
Technically, Money in the Bank is not a 'Big 4' premium live event, but those who know understand how big of a role the MITB briefcase plays in the WWE story over the course of the year. This year's version shouldn't be much different. Here's the info you need to watch the event. Money in the Bank 2025 takes place Saturday, July 6, live from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. This marks the first WWE Premium Live Event hosted at the new venue. The show is set to begin at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT, with a kickoff show scheduled for one hour prior. For U.K. fans, that's a midnight start time. In the U.S., fans will need an active Peacock Premium subscription to stream the show live. In the UK, fans can watch on Netflix. This year's card is already loaded with high-profile matches. The men's and women's Money in the Bank ladder matches feature a blend of main event talent and fast-rising newcomers. For the men, names like Seth Rollins, LA Knight, and Solo Sikoa are already established stars with an imprint in the WWE fabric while Penta and Andrade have an opportunity to take serious steps on the WWE journey. El Grande Americano is the real sleeper as it is clear WWE believes in Chad Gable and they may want to deliver something unexpected with his character. Could he win the MITB but be faced with a dilemma about revealing his true identity? Did El Grande Americano win the MITB or was it Gable? The women's match is equally stacked, with Naomi, Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss, Roxanne Perez and standout newcomers Stephanie Vacquer an Giulia all vying for the contract. Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso will team up to face John Cena and Logan Paul in a high-profile tag team match that bridges generational lines. It's a wild blend of legacy, mainstream crossover, and storyline tension with championship implications just under the surface–especially if the winner of the men's MITB tries to cash in on Cena or Uso. Even in a post-WrestleMania world, Money in the Bank has stayed relevant because of its volatility. The contract hanging above the ring is a gimmick that works and helps to shape the careers of stars at different points in their careers. It gave Rollins arguably his defining moment. It elevated Damian Priest last year, though it's seemingly been fumbled since. Perhaps it'll serve as the launch pad for Saturday night's winners.

Police Address Lack of Hate Crime Charge in Voice Actor Killing
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Law enforcement in Texas explained why the man accused of shooting King of the Hill voice actor Jonathan Joss has not been charged with a hate crime. San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said in a press conference on Thursday that hate crimes are not separate charges in the state but are instead addressed through sentencing enhancements. "We don't charge with hate crimes," McManus said. "We gather the facts, and we give those facts to the district attorney's office, and then that hate crime designation is determined at sentencing." Joss, 59, was shot multiple times on Sunday at the site of his former home. Officials identified the suspected shooter as 56-year-old Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, who lived at a neighboring property. Ceja has been charged with first-degree felony murder. In this handout photo released by the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, suspect Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez poses for a booking photo on June 2, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas.

Photo by Bexar County Sheriff's Office via Getty Images Why It Matters In a Facebook post on Joss' account, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, Joss' husband, said they were approached by a man "yelling violent homophobic slurs." Gonzales said the man then raised a gun and opened fire. The incident, which happened on the first day of Pride Month, has caused concern among LGBTQ+ members of the community. "Despite online claims of this being a hate crime, currently the investigation has found no evidence to indicate that the Mr. Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation," the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) said in a statement posted to Facebook on Monday. "SAPD investigators handle these allegations very seriously and have thoroughly reviewed all available information. Should any new evidence come to light, the suspect will be charged accordingly." McManus said the statement was "way, way, way premature." "It was way too soon, before we had any real information and I will own that," McManus said. What To Know McManus said homicide detectives are continuing to pursue leads to determine what led to the "senseless murder" of Joss. Gonzales said their former home was burned down in January "after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire." He said he notified law enforcement but "nothing was done." McManus said there were more than 70 calls to Joss' residence over the past two years involving various neighborhood disturbances. He said some of these incidents were reported by Joss. "Our safe unit, our mental health units, had extensive engagements with Mr. Joss, making repeated efforts to mediate conflicts and connect him with services that he may have needed," McManus said. What People Are Saying San Antonio Police Chief William McManus, during a press conference on Thursday: "To our LGBTQ+ community as we observe Pride Month, please know that your safety and trust matter deeply to us." Tristan Kern de Gonzales, referring to husband Jonathan Joss, in a statement posted to Facebook on Monday: "He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other." What Happens Next McManus said officials are "committed to delivering a thorough and complete investigation," which will be filed with the district attorney's office for prosecution. He said they are also working with the San Antonio Fire Department arson investigators to understand how the fire at Joss' former home is connected. "At this time, the investigation remains active, and we need to be cautious about not releasing too much information that could affect, negatively affect, the upcoming legal process," McManus said.

Everything We Know About Netflix's Season 4 of 'Ginny & Georgia'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors Season 3 of "Ginny & Georgia" is here, and if you're loving it, there is good news: Season 4 of the hit series was confirmed before Season 3 was streaming. Read More: Netflix's 'Ginny & Georgia' S3 Airs on June 5—Here's Everything to Remember In fact, back in February, the official "Ginny & Georgia" Instagram page confirmed that a Season 4 writer's room was already at work. But when will we get to watch the fourth season, and who will be returning to the series? Here's everything we know about Season 4 of "Ginny & Georgia". When Will Season 4 of 'Ginny & Georgia' Arrive? It's far too soon to know exactly when we can expect to see Season 4 of "Ginny & Georgia", but based on the release dates of all the other seasons, we can make a pretty good guess. "Ginny & Georgia" premiered in 2021, and its second season debuted in 2023. Season 3 just premiered in June 2025. So far, there's been a two-year gap between each season. If there's a similar wait for Season 4, then we can expect it to arrive sometime in the middle of 2027. Who Will be in Season 4 of 'Ginny and Georgia'? We can almost certainly expect Brianne Howey to return as Georgia, and Antonia Gentry to reprise her role as Ginny. Among others, we would expect to see Diesel La Torraca as Austin, Scott Porter as Paul, Felix Mallard as Marcus, Sara Waisglass as Max, Jennifer Robertson as Ellen, Raymond Ablack as Joe, and Nathan Mitchell as Zion. What Will Season 4 of 'Ginny & Georgia' be About? At this point, we can only speculate about the story of "Ginny & Georgia" Season 4, but the way Season 3 ends, it seems likely that a big part of Season 4 could have to do with Georgia getting pregnant. It isn't confirmed that Georgia is pregnant, but we get a pretty big hint. Season 3 ends with Ginny and Georgia in their kitchen, with the latter going to get some milk. This prompts Ginny to ask, "Mom, didn't you say you drink milk when you're pregnant?" They give each other surprised looks, and then the season ends. Again, it's far from a confirmation that Georgia is pregnant, but it would be a pretty strange way to end the season if she isn't.
