The couple first announced they are expecting their first child together in March.

"I am excited to announce that Baby Raegan Ann Nunes will be here mid September!" Ansaroff, who is currently ranked 5th in the women's strawweight division, wrote on Instagram, alongside an adorable photo of the couple holding up a black-and-white baby dress and a pair of white sneakers.

"I cannot wait to meet her!" the fighter added, going on to share that she is carrying their baby on the way — and plans on getting back into the ring "after she is born."

Nunes, who is the reigning champion in the women's bantamweight and featherweight divisions, also made it crystal clear how excited she is to become a mother.

"I wanna tell every single person on this planet that…. Raegan Ann Nunes will be here mid September!" Nunes wrote in her own post. “I cannot wait to see her." Alongside her celebratory message, the Brazilian-born fighter also shared a sonogram video and photo.

"I'm gonna be training throughout my pregnancy. I'm gonna stay in shape," she added, noting that she planned on competing in the flyweight division when she returned to the ring.
