    Ronda Rousey is expecting another baby!

    The 37-year-old wrestler shared the happy news of her pregnancy on Thursday while attending a panel at San Diego Comic-Con, according to People . Rousey is already mom to 2-year-old daughter La'akea Makalapuaokalanipō Browne, whom she shares with husband Travis Browne , and is stepmom to Browne's two sons, Kaleo and Keawe, from his previous marriage.

    Rousey, whose graphic novel debut Expecting the Unexpected also launched on Thursday through a Kickstarter campaign, chatted with actor and panel host Dave Bautista about the surprise announcement. Fittingly, her graphic novel "is about two rival assassins who end up unexpectedly pregnant and discover that giving life is harder than taking it," Rousey said in a promotional Instagram video.

    Afterward, Rousey showed off her growing baby bump in a patterned pink dress while on the red carpet.

    Rousey and fellow ex-UFC fighter Browne married in Browne's native Hawaii in August 2017. The duo first confirmed their relationship in October 2015 and got engaged two years later .

    The professional athletes welcomed La'akea in September 2021, after Rousey announced she was four months pregnant in April 2021.

    In June 2023, Rousey explained to ET why her "superhuman baby" was the "exact thing" she needed in her life.

    "It's completely changed, but I feel like in the best way," Rousey said of her life since having a baby. "I'm like so tired of thinking about me ... I'm so tired of thinking about myself all day and having a baby was the exact thing I needed so I could just focus on her and concentrate on her and get out of my own head about myself. That was exactly what I needed."

    Rousey has chronicled the many parts of her motherhood journey since welcoming La'akea, including two miscarriages.

    In April, Rousey appeared as a guest on The Diary Of A CEO podcast, in which she opened up about her back-to-back miscarriages in 2019 to host Steven Bartlett.

    "I found out I was pregnant right before the show started filming," Rousey said of her time on 9-1-1 , which involved many stunts. "And then my finger got chopped off from a boat door falling on it. We went and got checked out, the baby seemed fine, but then I had a miscarriage a couple of weeks later, so I always kind of felt like that was my fault. I wanted to keep doing dangerous stuff while I was pregnant because I thought that made me cool."

    She continued, "Then I was just depressed and drinking and smoking and not taking care of myself, then I got pregnant right away again, and then we never even saw a heartbeat that time. But I wasn't expecting anything more because I just wasn't taking care of myself during that time."

    She also talked about her struggle with IVF treatments.

    "And then I went through IVF, four cycles of IVF to be able to get eight embryos because we wanted to have like three or four kids. And the first one that we used actually worked. That's, you know, La'akea, my daughter now. But yeah, we're in the process of doing it right now, and I just got news yesterday that our first cycle didn't work," Rousey shared, breaking down in tears at the time. "It's tough. Anyone going through it is tough, and like people just don't talk about it. But, you know, it's hard because you have so much hope every time. And yeah, I don't know. I'll just have to wait till the end of this book tour to try again. But I was really hoping to be pregnant today."

    Flash forward to today and Rousey is pregnant with another baby and starting a new chapter in her life, both metaphorically and literally.
