Ronda Rousey Welcomes 2nd Baby With Husband Travis Browne

Ronda Rousey has given birth to her second child with husband Travis Browne.

The professional wrestler, 37, announced the arrival of their daughter via an Instagram post shared on Thursday, January 10.

“Our little girl came into this world during a windstorm into a city on fire, so grateful she made it safe and sound,” Rousey captioned the post, revealing their daughter’s name is “Liko’ula Pā’ūomahinakaipiha Browne ❤️”

A video of the couple’s eldest daughter La’akea Makalapuaokalanipō, 2, visiting her mom and newborn sister in hospital alongside her dad accompanied the caption.

Also included in the carousel of images were several family snaps taken at Rousey’s hospital bed.

Rousey surprised fans in July when she announced her pregnancy during San Diego Comic Con.

The athlete shared the news during her panel for her first graphic novel, Expecting the Unexpected, telling the crowd that she and Browne were expecting their second child.

Rousey and Browne, 42, tied the knot in August 2017 in Browne’s home state of Hawaii. The pair grew their family in September 2021 with the birth of their daughter, La’akea Makalapuaokalanipō. Browne is also a dad to sons Keawe and Kaleo from a previous relationship.

In October 2021, Rousey gave a glimpse into her experience of motherhood as she wrote about breastfeeding via an Instagram post.

“Our boys asked me the other day how I’m gunna feed Pō on the plane when we take her with us to Hawaii. And I was like ‘uhhh, same way I always do’ 🤷🏼‍♀️ Then it occurred to me that they probably never seen anyone breastfeed before and weren’t sure if it was appropriate in public,” she wrote.

Rousey added that breastfeeding in public shouldn’t be seen as taboo as it’s a natural experience.

“Motherhood’s some badass, primal, beautiful s— that shouldn’t be hidden,” she added. “It still blows my mind that my body assembled this little person, pushed her out and now makes everything she needs to thrive 🤯 It’s really nothing to be ashamed of, it’s something to brag about🤰🏼👩🏼‍🍼 #normalizebreastfeeding #proudmama.”

Several months prior to the breastfeeding post, Rousey was candid about her experience with pregnancy and praised Browne for his support.

“I wish I could say that pregnancy feels amazing, that I’ve never felt more powerful as a woman. But it feels more like my organs are being crushed by the miracle of life,” Rousey wrote via a July 2021 Instagram post. “I’ve never felt more exhausted, unmotivated or aware of gravity. Some days I have to lay on my side for hours just to comfortably breathe. There’s no break, it’s a grind, I’m just trying to get through one day at a time.”

Rousey continued, “Thank God for Mr. Browne. Not a day goes by without him telling me I’m beautiful, sexy, loved, and appreciated. He holds my belly to give me breaks from carrying, gives me bites of everything he’s eating, then drags me hissing into the sunlight when I wanna go full Gollum. He makes me proud to put on a swimsuit and show the world what I sometimes want to hide from myself.”
