Wrestling superstar Torrie Wilson has announced the arrival of her baby daughter, a moment she describes as "a dream come true" after becoming a mother at the age of 50.
A Dream Realised Through Surrogacy
The WWE Hall of Famer took to Instagram to share the joyful news with her fans, revealing that she and her husband, Justin Tupper, have welcomed a little girl named Poppi Wilson Tupper. Wilson explained that their daughter was born a few months ago via a surrogate, whom she lovingly referred to as their "angel surrogate".
In an emotional post, the 50-year-old star included touching photographs from the hospital, capturing moments with her newborn and her husband. She confessed that she had previously feared that motherhood might not be possible for her, making this new chapter all the more precious.
Sliding Onto the Motherhood Train
