Champion Cody Rhodes Welcomes Second Daughter While Filming in Australia

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is currently in Australia preparing for his role in the upcoming “Street Fighter” movie, but his biggest news is coming from back home. On Friday, Rhodes and his wife, Brandi Rhodes, announced the birth of their second child, a daughter named Leilani Ella Runnels.

The announcement came from Brandi’s Twitter account, where she shared a photo of the family’s hands together with their new baby.

“Welcome to the world Leilani Ella Runnels. We are in love,” Brandi posted. “Thank you God for answered prayers. Cody + Brandi + Libby + Lani = ❤️”

Leilani is the couple’s second daughter, joining their first, Liberty, who was born in July 2021.

Despite his current Hollywood commitments, Rhodes’s return to a WWE ring appears to be set for the near future. Reports indicate that his filming schedule is expected to conclude before WWE’s next premium live event, Wrestlepalooza, on September 20.

This timeline aligns with previous discussions reported for that show, which could see the new father defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre in a high-profile match.
