Ronda Rousey is reportedly set to take some time away from WWE following her appearance at WrestleMania 35.

A source close to Rousey told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne that she's taking a hiatus from the company to start a family with husband Travis Browne. Rousey posted a photo of herself and Browne on Instagram with the caption "#impregnationvacation" on Monday.

Rousey spoke about the possibility of having children in an interview with Shelburne in January.

"I've not kept it a secret that I would definitely want to start a family," she said. "But how do you go about doing that? I love this way more than I thought that I would. So do you just keep going until you just happen to get pregnant? Or should you stop and go try and get pregnant? Or is going and trying to get pregnant putting yourself on the spot and then you're less likely to get pregnant? I've never had a baby before, I don't know these kinds of things.

"It would be kind of cool to just keep acting and then one day, 'Hey, surprise twist, I'm pregnant.' That would be fun. There's a lot of things up in the air. A lot of decisions that we've gotta make as a family. I'm trying to figure it out as I go along."

Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio last week that WrestleMania was scheduled to be Rousey's last match and there's no timeline for her return.
