WWE legend Cody Rhodes and wife Brandi announce shocking life-changing family news
By MAX WINTERS,
WWE star Cody Rhodes and his wife, Brandi, have announced the birth of their second child.
The couple, who got married in 2016, announced the arrival of their daughter Leilani on Friday. She is their second daughter after Liberty, who is 4.
Alongside a picture of her holding Leilani's hand, Brandi posted: 'Welcome to the world Leilani Ella Runnels. We are in love. Thank you God for answered prayers. Cody + Brandi + Libby + Lani'.
Fans of the Rhodes family were left shocked by the news after it was not widely known that Brandi was pregnant.
Several of their WWE colleagues have congratulated them, including Natalya, Zelina Vega, former ring announcer Lilian Garcia and Randy Orton's wife, Kim.
Brandi retired from pro wrestling in 2022 and now serves as a ring announcer for WWE. She was previously chief brand officer and EVP for rival promotion AEW.

It's been a busy week for Rhodes, who was spotted in Australia as he prepares for his role in the much-anticipated live-action Street Fighter movie.
The movie, a reboot of the cult-classic video game franchise, is filming Down Under with Rhodes playing the part of Guile.
Guile, known for his unmistakable blonde flat-top haircut, tattoo and military fatigues, was previously played by Jean-Claude Van Damme in the 1994 big-screen adaptation of the game.
Rhodes, who looks like he has been perfectly cast in the role, was spotted in Sydney on Tuesday while heading to the set.
The 40-year-old is one of three wrestling stars in the movie, with Roman Reigns playing the role of Akuma and Hirooki Goto portraying E. Honda.
Other big names starring in the project include Jason Momoa, Noah Centineo and rapper Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson.
