There had been rumors for months that RONDA ROUSEY was going to take a break from the WWE after “Wrestlemania 35” to start a family. And after she lost her match and her title that night, it seemed even more likely. Yesterday, Ronda all but confirmed it by posting a picture of herself kissing her husband TRAVIS BROWN, with the hashtag “Impregnation vacation.” Ronda also reportedly broke her hand in her “Wrestlemania” match, so she would have needed some time off anyway. She is signed with the WWE until April 10th, 2021, which means she could still participate in the next two Wrestlemanias, if she wants.

I’m bipolar and I’m not ashamed anymore. That is all. (Crying my eyes out.) I don’t want you to feel sorry for me. I just want you to accept me. That’s all. Love you.”

She said that Sonny’s ghost often visits her. They were married from 1969 to 1975. In the ’80s he became the mayor of Palm Springs, then ended up in the U.S. House of Representatives until 1998, when he skied into a tree and died.
