Miesha Tate’s Son Was Born in the Bathroom with Her Husband Johnny Nunez

MMA fighters Miesha Tate and her husband, Johnny Nunez, were blessed with a baby boy during the pandemic. 

Having gotten to experience becoming a mother all over again, a joyous Tate took to her Instagram to break the news to her fans and followers. 

At the same time, the ex-UFC champion stunned fans when she let them know that her son was born at home, that too in the bathroom.

Fans couldn't help but praise her for her brave home birth. 

An Unexpected Birth!

On June 14, 2020, the mother of two took to her Instagram to share a series of snaps, the first of which framed the family gathered around what appears to be their bathroom to welcome the newest member of their family. 

While the second-time parents were obviously emotional after such an intense experience, the newborn's elder sister, Amaia, kept watching over everything while still in her diapers. 

Over the caption, Tate explained how experiencing childbirth for a second time was incredible. Although the couple had planned a hospital birth, their newborn son had other plans.

It Was The Husband's Decision

Shortly after welcoming their son, Tate's husband spoke to ONEFC and shared,

It feels great to be a father, but to bring your own son into this world is a tremendous feeling.

He also recalled how his daughter, Amaia, was born only after a three-day-long labor, but thankfully, this time around, things went by fairly quickly.

Nunez also professed that it was his decision to not call the ambulance when he noticed that the baby's head had already started crowning. 

Instead, he decided to step up and prepare for delivery. 

"Amaia was the most excited," the happy father added. "She already wanted to hold her little brother!"
