Serena Williams is a mother of two! On 22 Aug., the 41-year-old tennis champion announced on TikTok that she and husband Alexis Ohanian welcomed their second child. Alongside a video of Williams cradling the newborn while sitting next to Ohanian and their 5-year-old daughter Olympia [1], she wrote, "Welcome my beautiful angel." The clip also features photos of the family of four set to Bazzi's hit "Beautiful." The baby's name has yet to be revealed.

Williams revealed her second pregnancy [4] on the 2023 Met Gala red carpet, and shortly after, her husband posted photos of their looks on Instagram [5], writing, "Mama (@serenawilliams) & Papa love this parenting-thing, so we're back at it 😁 and @olympiaohanian is gonna be the best Big Sister—she's been asking & praying for this for a minute."

Leading up to her child's birth, Williams shared a few photos of her baby bump [6] on social media. In one Instagram post, she wrote of her pregnancy that she planned on "being stylish this time around."

The recently retired athlete [7] opened up about her motherhood journey [8] to Vogue back in September, telling the publication, "Earlier in my career, I never thought about having kids." "There were times when I've wondered if I should ever bring kids into this world, with all its problems. I was never that confident or comfortable around babies or children, and I figured that if I ever did have a baby, I would have people taking care of it 24/7," she explained. However, she said she found herself being an "incredibly hands-on mother" with Olympia.

"In five years, Olympia has only spent one 24-hour period away from me," Williams shared, adding, "Nothing is a sacrifice for me when it comes to Olympia."
