Cody Rhodes is determined to continue growing his “Nightmare” family despite a recent jab aimed at him. At a WWE live event in Detroit on December 30, 2025, after being insulted by Drew McIntyre during their intense rivalry, Cody addressed the comment about having more children. Known as the “American Nightmare,” he confidently stated that he’s still young enough to welcome a third child.
He said, “Do you guys have New Year’s resolutions? Well, I don’t know if you heard, but Drew gave me a low blow and then told my beautiful mother-in-law that I can’t have a third resolution. Oh no! I think I’m still okay!”
This announcement follows the joyous arrival of Cody and Brandi Rhodes’ second daughter, Leilani Ella Runnels, born in August. The happy family shared the news on social media, with Brandi posting a heartfelt message.
She wrote, “Welcome to the world of Leilani Ella Runnels. We are in love. Thank God for answered prayers. Cody + Brandi + Libby + Lani = ❤️”
Their first daughter, Liberty, was born in 2021. With two little ones already bringing joy to their lives, Cody’s playful remarks have sparked speculation among fans about the possibility of a third baby soon.
