Ronda Rousey — a name that shook the world of UFC and later ruled the ring in WWE. Wherever she stepped, victory seemed to follow. But in 2021, this fierce athlete embarked on a new and deeply emotional journey — the journey of becoming a mother.
Stepping Away from the Ring, Closer to a Dream
After WrestleMania 35 in 2019, Ronda suddenly disappeared from WWE. Fans were left wondering what happened. Some said she was tired, others believed she was returning to UFC. But the truth was that Ronda and her husband, former UFC fighter Travis Browne, were ready to fulfill a new dream — welcoming a baby into their lives.
Ronda had always expressed her desire to become a mother, and in 2021, she announced to the world that she was pregnant. Her face glowed with joy, her eyes sparkled with happiness, and her voice carried peace. She said:
“This is the happiest moment of my life. I’ve won many titles, but this feeling is unlike anything else.”
A New Kind of Strength
During her pregnancy, Ronda found herself in a brand-new role. She had always been a fighter, but now she was carrying life within her. She spent her days on her farm, stayed connected with her fans, and shared beautiful glimpses of her everyday life.
Through it all, she sent a powerful message to women everywhere: Pregnancy is not a weakness — it’s the ultimate strength.
The Birth of Her Daughter – A Golden Moment
On September 27, 2021, Ronda gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named:
La’akea Makalapuaokalanipō Browne
(A Hawaiian name with deep spiritual meaning)
Fans from all over the world showered her with love. WWE also congratulated her and made it clear that their doors would always be open for her return.
The Comeback – A Mother Returns to the Ring
In the 2022 Royal Rumble, fans were stunned when Ronda Rousey made a shocking return — and won the match! A mother who had given birth just months earlier stepped back into the ring and once again proved herself as The Baddest Woman on the Planet.
This wasn’t just a victory; it was a powerful message for every mother out there — you can come back stronger than ever.
Ronda Rousey’s journey from championship belts to motherhood is a true inspiration. She’s not just a fighter in the ring — she’s a fighter in life.
