Recently, The American Nightmare appeared for an interview on Sports Illustrated to promote his upcoming documentary. However, when the topic of fatherhood came up, he talked about his daughter Liberty.

Cody Rhodes stated he has become a different person after becoming a dad. Surprisingly, he shared about his family never expected he would become a father in the future.

The 38-year-old said, “People ask all the time what if he had been there what would he have said? I guarantee you, if my dad have known I had a baby, because that was not expected for me to have a child. I don’t think anyone in the family thought that I was ever gonna be a dad. That’s all he would have cared about.”

Rhodes added, “I don’t know! I was so focused on doing this. Chasing this crazy dream. Brandi and I were chasing it together when we worked as management at AEW. I don’t think anyone looked at us as if we were ever gonna have the time to do it.”

The 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble winner further added the age factor was something many thought he and Brandi would never have kids. But he believes being older has helped him and Brandi in becoming experienced and properly structured.
