Ronda Rousey is embracing motherhood once again! The professional wrestler and former UFC champion announced the arrival of her second child with husband Travis Browne in a heartwarming Instagram post on Thursday.
“Liko?ula P???omahinakaipiha Browne ??,” Rousey captioned her post, sharing the unique name of their newborn. The announcement included tender snapshots from the hospital, as well as a touching video of the baby meeting their big sister, 3-year-old La?akea Makalapuaokalanip? Browne.
Rousey and Browne, who tied the knot in August 2017, are already proud parents to La?akea, born in September 2021. At the time, Browne expressed his joy in an emotional post, writing, “Welcome to this world, La?akea Makalapuaokalanip? Browne. You are so incredibly loved!” Rousey shared similar sentiments, revealing the unique and meaningful name alongside photos of their daughter’s tiny hand.
A Growing Family
The couple, known for their deep connection and Hawaiian-inspired names for their children, celebrated their newest addition with joy and gratitude. This second pregnancy was revealed in an exciting and unexpected way during Rousey’s appearance at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2024.
“Did anyone notice that I’m very pregnant right now?” Rousey joked during her panel discussion, referencing her visible baby bump. The pregnancy reveal was part of the promotion for her graphic novel, Expecting the Unexpected. Afterward, she took to Instagram, humorously noting, “Technically, I finally got to cosplay at Comic-Con ?.”
While Rousey initially forgot to share the baby’s sex during the event, she later confirmed in an interview with ComicBook.com that the couple were expecting another girl. “It’s a girl,” she revealed with excitement. “We’re having a girl.”
In true Ronda fashion, the announcement came without a grand gesture or elaborate reveal. “I didn’t want to start a fire or anything doing a gender reveal. I don’t know how that became a thing, so I’ll just put it out there,” she quipped.

Over the years, they’ve celebrated each milestone with deep appreciation for their bond. On their seventh anniversary earlier this year, Browne shared a sweet tribute on Instagram, writing, “Time flies when you’re having fun.”
Known for blending their athletic lifestyles with their strong family values, the couple often shares glimpses into their lives as parents. Rousey has embraced motherhood with the same determination and dedication that defined her legendary athletic career.
