ONE Championship: Angela Lee reveals she is 11 weeks pregnant – ‘becoming a mother worth more than any title’
- Atomweight champ says she and husband Bruno Pucci ‘have been hiding this secret for a month and a half’ with baby due in April 2021
- ‘Baby made sure to surprise us just as I was in the best shape of my life,’ says Lee, who was training for likely title defence vs Denice Zamboanga
ONE Championship atomweight MMA champ Angela Lee has revealed she is 11 weeks pregnant.
“We’ve been hiding this secret for about a month and a half now, but we finally decided it’s time to share this amazing news with the world,” Lee and husband Bruno Pucci wrote in a series of social media posts.
The 24-year-old confirmed her baby is estimated to be due on April 21, 2021, but that she and fellow fighter Pucci do not know the gender yet.
“I’m so excited to start this incredible new adventure with you. Let the next chapter begin,” said Lee, who last fought in a five-round defence of her title against strawweight champ Xiong “The Panda” Jingnan in October at ONE: Century in Tokyo.
“This is seriously a dream come true. Becoming a mom has always been my ultimate goal; worth more to me then any amount of championship gold,” she said.
“The best things come at the most unexpected times. Baby made sure to surprise us just as I was in the best shape of my life, ha ha.”
