As the weekend drew near, Ronda Rousey made a significant life statement on social media.
A video of the former UFC and WWE champion sitting in a hospital bed with her newborn child and introducing her to her 2-year-old daughter, La akea Makalapuaokalanipo, was posted to Instagram.
“Our little girl was born in a burning city during a windstorm,” wrote Rousseau.I’m very thankful she got it safely.
A carousel of pictures featuring Rousey cradling the newborn and pictures of La Akea and the father, former UFC fighter Travis Browne, praising the child were included with the video.
In July 2024, Rousey, 37, revealed she was expecting a child.
In 2017, she and 42-year-old Browne got married.
Rousey is most noted for having contributed to the growth of women’s mixed martial arts in the UFC. With a 12-2 record at the end of her fighting career, she was a champion in that organization. She participated in the WWE after her UFC stint, becoming the only female champion in both organizations.
