She and the three-time former WWE champion and Smackdown general manager are expecting their first child in Spring 2017.
Brie, speaking to E! Online, said: "It has always been a dream of mine to become a mother.
"Now that it is finally real, it fills me up with so much happiness.

"I can't wait to see my husband, Bryan, be a father to our child. I am so excited for this new chapter in our lives."
Bella retired from the squared-circle earlier this year to focus on her family shortly after her husband had his career cut-short through injury.
Bryan, famed for his chant of "Yes, yes, yes", has since returned to TV and was appointed as Smackdown’s general manager three months ago.
The 35-year-old Bryan added: "The day we found out, I just couldn’t stop smiling. We are so excited to be parents.
"Every time I look at Brie’s stomach, I’m amazed that there is a little life in there."
WWE said via its website that it "extends its warmest wishes to the happy parents-to-be".
