In June 2023, the UFC and WWE star spoke with PEOPLE about how much her daughter La'akea Makalapuaokalanipō has been taking after her.
"Oh, she's definitely going to be tough. She doesn't respond to pain so much," Rousey said at the time. "She just fell and scraped her knee today and she was just like... she didn't even cry. She just -
kind of grunts it out!"
"The world isn't ready for this little girl," Rousey joked.
Rousey and Brownemarried in Browne's native Hawaii in August 2017and welcomed La'akea in September 2021.
After welcoming her baby girl, Rousey posted a photo Instagram as she celebrated how "proud" she was to be breastfeeding her daughter.
"Our boys asked me the other day how I'm gunna feed Pō on the plane when we take her with us to Hawaii. And I was like 'uhhh, same way I always do' 🤷🏼♀️ Then it occurred to me that they probably never seen anyone breastfeed before and weren't sure if it was appropriate in public," she wrote.
"Motherhood's some badass, primal, beautiful s--- that shouldn't be hidden," Rousey continued. "It still blows my mind that my body assembled this little person, pushed her out and now makes everything she needs to thrive 🤯 It's really nothing to be ashamed of, it's something to brag about🤰🏼👩🏼🍼 #normalizebreastfeeding #proudmama."
