Ronda Rousey Hints at Retirement with Cryptic Instagram Post

Rousey, who built a career in the UFC and made her WWE debut a few years ago, married Travis Browne in 2017 and they welcomed daughter La'akea in 2021

Ronda Rousey may be putting her fighting gloves down for good.

The UFC champ, 36, shared an Instagram post on Wednesday with some intimate snapshots of hanging out with her husband, daughter and friends and hinted that retiring might be on the horizon for her.

In the Instagram carousel, she could be seen carrying her daughter La'akea Makalapuaokalanipō Browne, 2, in her arms as they walked through farmland with horses in the background. In a second shot, she appeared to be having fun in the pool while holding up a can.

The third and final shot showed her posing with her husband Travis Browne outside their home. All of the photos were uploaded in black and white, similar to another post earlier this month where she showed off her daughter posing just like her.

“‘Sorry, I couldn’t hear you through my retirement.’ Bernie Lumen ❤️🔥,” she captioned the photos.

Rousey, who married Browne in his home state of Hawaii in August 2017 and welcomed her daughter four years later in 2021, has been spending the last couple of months on mom duty.

She has shared plenty of snaps with her daughter on Instagram and even gushed about her to PEOPLE for her Stars on Mars preview event, saying that La'akea was going to be one “tough” kid.

"Oh, she's definitely going to be tough. She doesn't respond to pain so much," Rousey said. "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!" She added jokingly, "The world isn't ready for this little girl.”

Rousey, who built a career in the UFC and made her WWE debut a few years ago, also admitted that motherhood has shifted her priorities and opened up about how it has changed her over the years.

"I'm just so much happier that I'm no longer ruminating over myself all day," Rousey shared with PEOPLE at another event. "I'm always thinking about her and focused on her and... I don't know. Am I more considerate?”

"I think the best part about it is that it's mentally made me more healthy and made me stop beating myself up so much because I'm so concerned with taking care of her," she added.

This isn’t the first time, Rousey has hinted at leaving the WWE. She said in 2019 that she wasn’t sure what her life would be like after welcoming a child.

“I don’t know what it’s like to have a baby," she said. "I could look down at this beautiful child and be like ‘F— everything, I don’t care about anything else other than this baby.’ And you’ll never see me again. Or, I could be like my mom [AnnMaria De Mars], who trained while she was eight months pregnant and then won the U.S. Open six weeks after giving birth. Which was unbelievable.”

She continued, “I don’t think I’m going to try and aspire to her level. But I’m just saying, you never know. I don’t want to make any promises about the future when I don’t know how I’m gonna feel in the future.”
