Tennis legend Serena Williams has announced that she is expecting her second child with husband Alexis Ohanian. The announcement was made at the Met Gala in New York, where Williams appeared on the red carpet with Ohanian and told reporters that there were “three of us” attending the event. Williams’ announcement was met with excitement and congratulations from fans and other celebrities.
Williams has previously expressed her desire to expand her family, after welcoming daughter Olympia in 2017. In a Vogue article last year, the 23-time Grand Slam champion wrote that she was taking a break from tennis to focus on motherhood and raising her children. With her latest pregnancy announcement, it’s hard to say for sure whether Williams will return to the tennis court.
The Met Gala is a high-profile event that attracts celebrities from all walks of life. Williams, who is friends with Vogue editor-in-chief and Met Gala co-chair Anna Wintour, is a regular at the annual event. This year, she wore a stunning figure-hugging black dress with a white skirt that accentuated her growing baby bump.

This year’s Met Gala, themed “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” was a tribute to the late Chanel designer. Williams was one of many celebrities who paid homage to Lagerfeld’s legacy with their fashion choices. Other notable athletes in attendance included tennis greats Roger Federer and Andy Roddick, American basketball star Brittney Griner and two-time Olympic freestyle skier Eileen Gu from China.
Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian are one of the most famous couples in the business and sports world. They started dating in late 2015 and after two years, they had a lavish wedding in New Orleans. That same year, Serena gave birth to her first daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.
Serena Williams is one of the greatest female tennis players of all time. She and her sister Venus Williams became icons of sport and female empowerment, dominating women’s singles and doubles tennis throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Serena is currently the most decorated female tennis player in history, with 23 individual titles and 14 doubles titles.
Serena’s success, however, does not stop on the tennis court. She is also a talented businesswoman, running her own company and owning a fashion line under her name. In addition, Serena is involved in many charitable activities and always tries to inspire women around the world.
