Serena Williams gives birth to her second daughter with husband Alexis Ohanian as couple share sweet video
SERENA Williams has given birth to her second daughter with husband Alexis Ohanian – sharing a sweet video to reveal the news.
The tennis legend had initially announced her pregnancy in May in a cute Instagram post.
The 41-year-old today celebrated her new addition with adorable footage, including a string of family polaroids revealing she had given birth.
The athlete simply captioned the clip: “Welcome my beautiful angel.”
In a separate post, proud dad Alexis said their newest addition was named Adira River.
Serena didn’t reveal when the bub arrived, but looked smitten holding the newborn in her arms.
Her first daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr, was all smiles, too.
Dad Alexis also took to social media to share the news.
He wrote: “Welcome, Adira River Ohanian.
“I’m grateful to report our house is teaming with love: a happy & healthy newborn girl and happy & healthy mama. Feeling grateful. Serena Williams 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 Olympia Ohanian to her baby sister.
“Your peace would have been like a river, your well-being like the waves of the sea.”
The tennis legend announced her pregnancy earlier this year in a similar way.
In a series of shots in her stunning Met Gala outfit, Williams could be seen with a distinct baby bump which she cradled in one of the snaps.
She captioned the images: “Was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us to the Met Gala.”
Her Instagram was quickly flooded with congratulatory messages when she announced the news.
Serena and her husband welcomed Alexis Jr. in 2017.
The couple has been together since late 2015, eventually tying the knot in 2017.
A 23-time singles Grand Slam Champion and fourteen-time doubles Grand Slam Champion, Serena retired from the sport in September 2022 following her exit from the U.S. Open.
