We’ve got a new contender in the ring! Ronda Rousey announced she gave birth to baby No. 2 with her husband, Travis Browne.
“Our little girl came into this world during a windstorm into a city on fire,” Ronda, 37, announced via Instagram on Thursday, January 10, referencing the ongoing wildfires raging across Los Angeles. “So grateful she made it safe and sound.”
Ronda revealed that she and Travis, 42, named their baby girl Liko’ula Pa’uomahinakaipiha Browne. In the carousel of photos, the former MMA fighter shared photos of her family with the newborn at the hospital. One heartwarming moment included a video of the couple’s oldest child, 3-year-old daughter La’akea Makalapuaokalanipo Browne, bonding with her new sibling.
“Who’s the baby?” Travis asked off-screen. “That’s your sister.”
The professional athlete revealed her pregnancy for the first time during a panel at San Diego Comic Con in July 2024, where she was promoting her debut graphic novel, Expecting the Unexpected. She was photographed gently cradling her belly while wearing a beautiful pink and white patterned knee-length dress.
The wrestler and the dad of four — who shares sons Keawe Browne and Kaleo Browne with his ex-wife Erin Browne — have been open about the struggles they faced while growing their family, with Ronda getting candid about her two pregnancy losses in April 2024.
“I found out I was pregnant right before the show started filming,” the 9-1-1 star shared on “The Diary of a CEO” podcast. “And then my finger got chopped off from a boat door falling on it. We went and got checked out, the baby seemed fine, but then I had a miscarriage a couple of weeks later.”
Ronda shared that she fell into a depression while trying to cope with the loss. She turned to drinking and smoking, neglecting her well-being in the process.
“Then, I got pregnant right away again — and then we never saw a heartbeat that time,” she continued.
Ronda and Travis have kept their romance largely out of the public eye. The pair first confirmed their relationship in October 2015, when Travis spoke about their romance on The MMA Hour talk show, telling the world, “She’s my woman and I am her man.”
The couple got married in Travis’ home state of Hawaii in 2017, before welcoming their first child together in September 2021. The former UFC champion gushed about her eldest child inheriting her toughness while speaking to People in June 2023.
“Oh, she’s definitely going to be tough. She doesn’t respond to pain so much,” Ronda said at the time. “She just fell and scraped her knee today and she was just like… she didn’t even cry. She just kind of grunts it out! The world isn’t ready for this little girl.”
In addition, she said one of the best parts of motherhood is that it’s made her “mentally much more healthy.”
“Made me stop beating myself up so much because I’m so concerned with taking care of her,” she explained. “I’m just so much happier that I’m no longer ruminating over myself all day,” adding, “I’m always thinking about her and focused on her and… I don’t know. Am I more considerate?”
