Cody and Brandi Rhodes announce birth of baby girl: AEW stars reveal daughter’s name and adorable first photo

Cody and Brandi Rhodes have welcomed their first baby into the world.

The All Elite Wrestling (AEW) couple have become parents for the first time as the former TNT Champion revealed his wife has given birth with both her and their daughter ‘doing well’.

Revealing their baby’s name and weight alongside a sweet photo of the family holding hands, Cody wrote: ‘6lbs 12oz – Liberty Iris Runnels – Mother & Daughter are doing wonderful (sic)’

Plenty of fans and fellow stars – including the official AEW account – replied with messages of congratulations on Instagram.

Cassie Lee – formerly known as Peyton Royce in WWE – wrote: ‘Ahhh congratulations!!!! so beautiful (sic)’

Late AEW star Brodie Lee’s widow Amanda Huber added four shocked face emojis and commented: ‘Congratulations!!!! (sic)’

And wrestler Brian Cage said: ‘The best. Congrats’.

The wonderful announcement comes just days after Cody’s fellow AEW star Jon Moxley also became a dad for the first time as his wife Renee Young – know Paquette after leaving WWE – gave birth to their daughter Nora.

The 35-year-old broadcaster gave birth to the couple’s first child – who is named after her late grandmother – and revealed her husband was taking over her Oral Sessions podcast this week as the first guest host.

She tweeted on Tuesday: ‘Baby girl is officially here, so I’m checking out and becoming a mum. (She’s absolutely incredible!! )

‘I have a bunch of guest hosts lined up for you guys and I started with none other than my baby daddy, cool dude husband @JonMoxley. (sic)’

Right on cue, fans rushed to congratulate the pair on their baby news.

Kayla Braxton replied: ‘Congrats Renee!!!! You’re going to be such a bad ass mum. Can’t wait to see your little girl!’

‘Congratulations to both of you,’ a follower commented.

A Twitter user posted: ‘CONGRATS to you both!!! Welcome to the absolute best part of life!  Y’all will absolutely crush the whole parenthood thing.

‘PS. It really is true, don’t blink. Time goes way faster than it ever has.’

And another one added: ‘Congratulations to you both on the birth of your lovely baby daughter.’
