Serena Williams and her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, are expecting their second child together. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Alexis Olympia, in 2017. Williams shared the news of her pregnancy via a brief post on Instagram, where she uploaded a photo of herself wearing a yellow one-piece swimsuit and captioned it “20 weeks”. The announcement came as a surprise to many, as the tennis superstar had not publicly shared any plans to expand her family.
Williams has been open about her struggles with motherhood and the challenges she faced after giving birth to her first child. She has been an advocate for women’s health and has spoken out about the importance of postpartum care. Despite the difficulties, Williams has continued to excel in her career, earning multiple Grand Slam titles since becoming a mother.
Fans and fellow athletes have been sending their congratulations to the couple on social media, with many expressing excitement for the newest addition to the Williams-Ohanian family.
