During a recent interview with Self, Brandi Rhodes commented on her pregnancy and getting diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On learning she had PCOS: “I’ve been an athlete all my life—I was a figure skater since the age of four and did it competitively for 17 years—and I told my doctor there was a large period of time where I didn’t have a menstrual cycle. It probably meant that I had PCOS all the time and I just didn’t know.”
On the suddenness of her pregnancy news: “It happened so quickly it was shocking. I had things going on in the wrestling world that had to come to a screeching halt.”
On finding out she was pregnant during filming of her reality show:
“We filmed that moment very authentically, it was really cool. I’m excited for the rest of the journey to come.”
