The Baddest Woman on the Planet is about to be The Baddest Mom on the Planet. Former MMA fighter Ronda Rousey is expecting her first child with husband Travis Browne. The couple announced their pregnancy via Rousey's YouTube channel.

In the video, Rousey showed off her baby bump and said she's four months pregnant. The couple then shared sonograms and ultrasounds from the doctor's visits. Rousey revealed that the baby is due on September 22nd, and they've already nicknamed their child "the baddest baby on the planet."

This will be the first child for 34-year-old Rousey, and the third for Browne, who has two sons from a previous relationship. The couple began dating in 2015, and like Rousey, Browne is a mixed marital artist. After two years of dating, the couple married in Hawaii in August 2017.

Although, they're tough when it comes to in-ring competition, away from work, Rousey and Browne lead a simple home life. The couple lives at their California ranch, which they call Browsey Acres. The two often upload photos and videos of their ranch adventures, which include tending to cattle, goats, and chicken.

Rousey's road to motherhood has been a long journey. The fighter made it well-known of her desire to have children. During her stint on "Total Divas," Rousey opened up how she was torn between starting a family and continuing her WWE career.

After departing WWE in April 2019, Rousey decided to get started on her plans for a family. Days after her exit, Rousey posted an Instagram photo with her husband, saying they were going on an "impregnation vacation." Rousey's pregnancy announcement comes two years following her departure from wrestling. A pregnant Rousey also revealed that their was "much more to the story" that she would share later with fans.

Ronda Rousey is one of the most famous MMA fighters in the world. After a successful career in UFC, where she made history as the first female champion, Rousey decided to switch things up. Like a few MMA fighters before her, Rousey set her sights on competing in WWE.

She made her wrestling debut at the 2018 Royal Rumble, where she quickly put the rest of the women's roster on notice. Rousey became a prominent figure in the women's division, and in August of that year, won the RAW Women's Championship. Rousey's biggest storyline came when Becky Lynch challenged Ronda for the championship following her 2019 Royal Rumble win. 

Their feud got more heated when Charlotte Flair was added to the mix. At WrestleMania 35, the three women made history by becoming the first women ever to main-event the PPV.  Unfortunately, Rousey wasn't victorious that night. Lynch would go on to not only win Rousey's championship, but also Flair's Smackdown Women's Championship.

It's been two years since Rousey's last WWE appearance. Yet, many wonder if the star will ever make a return to the squared circle. Until her pregnancy announcement, rumors circulated about Rousey making a return to the company.

Rousey has unfinished business with her onscreen enemy Becky Lynch. According to reports, WWE eventually wants to have a rematch between the two women. But it looks like that will have to wait.

Aside fromRonda's pregnancy and Lynch is currently out on maternity leave. Lynch gave birth to a daughter named Roux in December 2020. Like Rousey, rumors have swirled about Lynch's return to the ring. Although, Lynch has said she will step back into the ring at some point, she's enjoying her new role as mom.
