Williams announced her second pregnancy a little before the Met Gala. Months later, the 41-year-old superstar and her husband threw an elaborate gender reveal party where they used a drone to announce they were expecting another baby girl. The 23-time Grand Slam champ has been vocal about complications after giving birth to her first daughter. However, in his Instagram post, Williams’ husband assured his followers that this birthing experience was much smoother. “I’m grateful to report our house is teaming with love: a happy & healthy newborn girl and happy & healthy mama. Feeling grateful. @serenawilliams you’ve now given me another incomparable gift — you’re the GMOAT. Thanks to all the amazing medical staff who took care of my wife & our daughter 🙏 I’ll never forget the moment I introduced @olympiaohanian to her baby sister,” penned the investor.
In her Vogue article announcing her retirement, the mother of two opened up about how she never thought about having kids in her younger years, but now she embraces motherhood. “I’m also an incredibly hands-on mother. My husband will tell you I am too hands-on. In five years, Olympia has only spent one 24-hour period away from me,” wrote the icon.
