Ronda Rousey gave birth to her first child late last month. The former WWE RAW Women’s Champion and her husband Travis Browne named the baby girl La’akea Makalapuaokalanipō Browne.
Rousey, who hasn’t wrestled a match since WrestleMania 35 in 2019, took to Instagram to provide an update. She noted that she is recovering from the pregnancy faster than she had hoped.
Rousey wrote, “10 days postpartum – my mom @annmaria7gen went back to training 6 days after having my sister Maria, then made weight and won the judo US Open 6 weeks later… when she was pregnant with me she only gained 12 pounds – and I was an 8 lbs baby! I’ve decided to let her keep those records [laughing emoji].”
“My body seems to be recovering faster than I hoped, but I won’t really know if Pō tossed a grenade on the way out till my 6 week checkup. Since breaking both my hands and getting pregnant it feels like I lost a lifetime of muscle – it’s easy to get discouraged over all that lost progress – but if anything I’m looking forward to getting cleared to train again even more. This is an opportunity start over and mold my body into its next phase #BaddestMomOnThePlanet #ThisIsntEvenMyFinalForm (and yes that is a maternity bra and I did crop out the ice pack in my underwear [underwear emoji] [ice emoji])”
