Montez Ford Announces Third Album Amid WWE Hiatus After Birth of Son

Montez Ford WWE hiatus continues following the birth of his first child with wife Bianca Belair, but the former WWE Tag Team Champion has kept himself busy outside the wrestling ring with a major career announcement.

Ford and Belair recently welcomed their first child, a son named Romeo. The WWE star is currently spending time with his family during his paternity leave, but his latest social media update revealed that he is preparing for another important milestone in his career.

Montez Ford announces third album

While away from WWE, Ford has confirmed that his next album is just days away from release. The former champion shared the announcement on Instagram, revealing that fans only have seven days to wait for his latest musical project.

The announcement comes as no surprise to fans who have followed Ford’s career outside professional wrestling. The WWE star has established himself as a rapper and performs under the name King Tez.

Ford has already released two full-length albums, making his upcoming project his third major musical release. His passion for music has provided him with another creative outlet alongside his successful wrestling career.

When will Montez Ford return to WWE?

There is currently no officially confirmed date for Montez Ford’s WWE return. The wrestler is taking paternity leave after welcoming his son with Bianca Belair.

Paternity leave in WWE has generally lasted several weeks, meaning Ford could potentially remain away from television for around six to eight weeks. Based on that timeline, he could miss Money in the Bank before potentially returning to WWE programming afterward.

Ford’s absence also means that his Street Profits partner Angelo Dawkins is currently away from WWE. Dawkins and his wife are preparing to welcome their third child next month.

The Street Profits are temporarily away from WWE

The timing means both Ford and Dawkins have stepped away from WWE shortly after returning to the company following WrestleMania.

The Street Profits have been an important part of WWE’s tag team division, but their current family commitments have temporarily separated the duo from the weekly wrestling schedule.

Ford’s return could therefore eventually lead to the reunion of the Street Profits, although WWE has not announced a specific storyline or return date for the team.

Bianca Belair’s WWE return remains another storyline to watch

Bianca Belair is also expected to take time away from WWE following the birth of her son, although reports surrounding her return suggest that she may not be out of action for an extended period.

Belair previously spent significant time away from the ring after suffering a finger injury. The former Women’s Champion broke her knuckle at WrestleMania 41 and required surgery after the injury left her unable to properly bend the finger.

Her injury and subsequent pregnancy kept her away from WWE for an extended period. With her family now welcoming their first child, her eventual return to training will be another major development for WWE fans.

Montez Ford balancing WWE and music career

Ford’s latest announcement highlights the multiple career interests he has developed outside WWE. While professional wrestling remains his primary platform, music has become an increasingly visible part of his identity.

With his third album set to arrive soon, Ford has an opportunity to remain connected with his audience even while he is away from the WWE ring. His paternity leave has therefore provided time for both family commitments and another chapter in his music career.

For now, WWE fans will have to wait for an official update on Ford’s return. Until then, the former Tag Team Champion will be focused on his family and preparing to release his latest album as King Tez.
