Additionally, Ronda Rousey and her spouse, Travis Browne, have already become parents to their daughter, La’akea Makalapuaokalanipō Browne, who is now 2 years old.

This is the second child that Ronda Rousey is expecting!

According to People, the 37-year-old wrestler revealed the excellent news that she is expecting a child on Thursday as she was participating in a panel discussion at San Diego Comic-Con. In addition to being the mother of her daughter La’akea Makalapuaokalanipō Browne, who is two years old and whom she shares with her husband Travis Browne, Rousey is also the stepmother to Browne’s two boys, Kaleo and Keawe, who are the product of his former marriage.

On Thursday, Rousey, whose first graphic book, Expecting the Unexpected, was also released via a Kickstarter effort, had a conversation with actor and panel moderator Dave Bautista about the unexpected revelation. Her graphic book, as Rousey described in a promotional video posted on Instagram, “is about two rival assassins who end up unexpectedly pregnant and discover that giving life is harder than taking it,” which is a fitting representation of the story.

After that, Rousey walked the red carpet wearing a pink dress with a design, revealing her developing baby belly to the audience.

In August of 2017, Rousey and Browne, who had previously competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, tied the knot in Browne’s home state of Hawaii. In October of 2015, the couple made their relationship public for the first time, and two years later, they were engaged.

Following Rousey’s announcement in April 2021 that she was four months pregnant, the professional athletes welcomed La’akea into the world one month later, in September 2021.

ET asked Rousey to explain why her “superhuman baby” was the “exact thing” she needed in her life in June of 2023. Rousey shared her reasoning with ET.

“It’s completely changed, but I feel like in the best way,” Rousey remarked of her life after she gave birth to her child. “The thought of myself is making me so exhausted that I’m like… Having a kid was just what I needed to get out of my own brain about myself and focus on her. I am so exhausted of thinking about myself all day long, and having a baby gives me the opportunity to simply concentrate on her and focus on her. That was just what I needed at that moment.

Rousey has documented the various aspects of her journey as a mother since the birth of La’akea, including the two miscarriages that she has already had.

Rousey made an appearance as a guest on The Diary of a CEO podcast in the month of April. Through her conversation with presenter Steven Bartlett, she disclosed that she had experienced two consecutive miscarriages in 2019.

“I found out I was pregnant right before the show started filming,” Rousey revealed of her time spent on 9-1-1, which included a lot of stunts. Following that, a boat door fell on my finger, which resulted in the amputation of my finger. We went to be checked out, and the baby seemed to be in good health. However, a few of weeks later, I had a miscarriage, and I have always had the feeling that it was my fault whenever something happened. As long as I was pregnant, I wanted to continue engaging in risky activities because I believed that doing so would make me more cool.

“Then I was just depressed and drinking and smoking and not taking care of myself, and then I got pregnant right away again, and then we never even saw a heartbeat that time,” she added. “It was a terrible time for me.” During that particular period, I just did not take care of myself, so I did not anticipate anything more than what I had already received.

She also discussed the difficulties she had while undergoing IVF procedures.

After that, I went through in vitro fertilization, which consisted of four rounds, in order to get eight embryos. This was done because we hoped to have three or four children. Not only that, but the very first one that we tried was successful. You should know that it is La’akea, who is now my daughter. But yeah, we are in the process of doing it right now, and I just received word yesterday that our first cycle didn’t work,” Rousey confessed, breaking down in tears at the moment. “But yeah, in the meanwhile, we are in the process of doing it.” It is difficult. People don’t speak about it, which is unfortunate since it is difficult for anybody who is going through it. In spite of this, you should realize that it is challenging since you always have a lot of optimism. And you’re right, I have no idea. In order to give it another go, I will have to wait until the conclusion of this book tour. I had high hopes that I would find out I was pregnant today.

A fast forward to the present day reveals that Rousey is expecting another child and is embarking on a new phase of her life, both in a figurative and physical sense.
