Ronda Rousey has announced that she’s pregnant with her second child.
The former UFC champion and WWE wrestler already shares two-year-old daughter La’akea Makalapuaokalanipo with husband Travis Browne.
But she announced at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday that the couple are expecting their second child together.
Rousey made the announcement in a panel with WWE legend and actor Dave ‘Batista’ Bautista, leaving the fans in excitement.
The judo specialist attended the convention to promote her graphic novel debut ‘Expect the Unexpected’ which launches through a Kickstarter campaign on Thursday.

‘It’s like Knocked Up meets John Wick, and also a romantic comedy,’ Rousey said of the project in a promo clip, perhaps hinting her pregnancy.
‘The main character is a super nerd, assassin for hire, who’s also a hopeless romantic,’ she described. ‘Unfortunately, all people that she sees, she’s about to kill. So just having a hard time connecting with anyone.’
After racking up armbars on her way to MMA stardom, the UFC’s first women’s champion stacked six title defenses in her incredible title run. On top of her 6-0 pro record before entering the promotion, Rousey amassed an impressive 12-fight finishing streak in the cage.
She suffered her first loss to Holly Holm via knockout and attempted to comeback before getting stopped by Amanda Nunes and retiring from MMA.

After parting ways with the UFC, Rowdy tried her luck in pro wrestling and found immediate success in the WWE universe.
Rousey and Browne got married in August 2017 in the former UFC heavyweight’s native Hawaii. They then welcomed La’akea in September 2021.
Aside from La’akea and their soon-to-be second child, Rousey also plays step mother to two of Browne’s sons from his previous marriage.
