Pro wrestler Cody Rhodes may be ruthless in the ring — but he has an undeniable soft spot for his daughter.

“My favorite activity to do with my daughter, Liberty, is to sing ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,’” Rhodes, 38, exclusively shares in the newest issue of Us Weekly.

Cody shares Liberty, 2, with wife Brandi Rhodes. The couple tied the knot in 2012 and welcomed their daughter nine years later. Since becoming a husband and parent, Cody has done his best to support both his baby girl and his wife, 40, through all their highs and lows.

“I want to know what [Brandi] is going through. I want to be there for it,” Cody exclusively told Us in September 2021 about being by his partner’s side when she experienced postpartum depression. “‘Cause I don’t want to look back at this … and see that she did it all herself. … No matter how busy I get, I want to be there for all those things.”

Calling her his “ride or die,” Cody added: “We will ride together [and] succeed together. Or if we fall off, we will fall off together. … I think we’ve been good with each other when it comes to that.”

While the six-time tag team champion is clearly a doting father and husband,  there are still things that test his patience including “bad salesmen,” having to give toasts at dinners — he’s “terrible,” he claims — and dealing with rude people on public transportation.

“I cannot stand when people curse loudly on the plane,” Cody tells Us.
