Former WWE star Ronda Rousey gave birth to a baby girl amid the historic Los Angeles wildfires that have displaced tens of thousands of people and reduced entire communities to rubble.
The MMA and wrestling icon shared the news on Thursday (Jan 9) that her family had welcomed the new addition of daughter Liko’ula Pa’uomahinakaipiha Browne.
“Our little girl came into this world during a windstorm into a city on fire,” she wrote in her Instagram announcement. “So grateful she made it safe and sound.”
Rousey’s post included a video of her two-year-old daughter, La’akea Makalapuaokalanipo, meeting the newborn. In another snap, her husband, Travis Browne, to whom she’s been married since 2017, is seen smiling at the women in his life.
Rousey retired from mixed martial arts in 2016, and two years later became the first woman inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.
The 37-year-old went public with her second pregnancy during San Diego Comic Con last July when she launched a Kickstarter campaign for her new graphic novel, Expecting The Unexpected.
