Ronda Rousey is excited to share the news of her second pregnancy, and she’s not holding back on the details. The professional wrestler and former MMA champion announced that she is expecting another baby girl, much to the delight of her fans.
On July 25, 2024, during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Rousey revealed her pregnancy for the first time. Just a day later, she took to Instagram to announce the gender of her baby. “IT’S A GIRL! Happy I can finally shout it from the rooftops,” she wrote, expressing her joy.
Rousey explained that the timing of her announcement was serendipitous. She noted that she was exactly four months along, which coincided with her character “Mom” in her new graphic novel, “Expecting the Unexpected.” This unique connection allowed her to celebrate both her pregnancy and her creative work simultaneously.
In her Instagram post, Rousey shared a photo from Comic-Con where she proudly cradled her baby bump. She also included artwork from her graphic novel, which she has been passionately working on for the past five years. The story, described as a “martial arts romantic comedy,” follows two wanted assassins who find themselves navigating the challenges of an unexpected pregnancy.
Rousey’s excitement about her new project is palpable. She has poured her heart into the graphic novel, using it as a way to process the anxieties that come with motherhood. “It’s a way to process the anxiety that comes with accepting the task of guiding an innocent child through a hostile world,” she shared.
The former UFC champion and her husband, Travis Browne, are already parents to their two-year-old daughter, La’akea Makalapuaokalanipō. Rousey has often spoken about her experiences as a mother and how her daughter is already showing signs of being tough, much like her mother.
Rousey and Browne, who married in August 2017 in Hawaii, have embraced their roles as parents. Rousey has previously shared heartwarming moments about La’akea, including how she handles pain with remarkable resilience. “Oh, she’s definitely going to be tough. She doesn’t respond to pain so much,” Rousey remarked, highlighting her daughter’s strong spirit.
As Rousey prepares to welcome another daughter into their family, she reflects on the journey of motherhood and the lessons it brings. The couple is also blending their family, as Browne has two sons from a previous marriage.
Rousey’s announcement at Comic-Con was met with enthusiasm from fans, who have followed her career from the octagon to the wrestling ring and now into motherhood. The excitement surrounding her graphic novel and her growing family has created a buzz among her supporters.
In her post, Rousey encouraged her followers to support her graphic novel project through Kickstarter, expressing her desire to continue writing as her family expands. “I would love to keep writing these as our family continues to grow, but it’s only possible with the support of others,” she stated.
The journey of Ronda Rousey continues to evolve, and her fans are eager to see what the future holds for her and her family. As she prepares to welcome another strong female into their lives, Rousey’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and love.
