Double the Love: Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian Joyfully Welcome Their Second Child!

Serena Williams’ second child is here!

The tennis star announced that she gave birth to baby No. 2 on TikTok Tuesday.

“Welcome my beautiful angel,” she captioned the video.

In the clip, which was set to the tune of Bazzi’s “Beautiful,” Williams and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, were seen sitting at a table, embracing and sharing a kiss with each other before their firstborn, Olympia, jumped into her mom’s arms.

After the athlete kissed her daughter on the forehead, Williams turned to her husband, seemingly saying, “I’ll be right back,” before going to grab their newest addition to the family, who was snuggly wrapped in a baby blanket.

She did not disclose the sex or name of the newborn.

The Olympian shocked fans with her pregnancy in May by showing up to the Met Gala with her baby bump on display.

“Was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us,” Williams captioned Instagram photos of her and her husband’s epic red carpet appearance.

Later that same month, the athlete, 41, shared a video of her 5-year-old daughter Olympia’s reaction to the news.

“Are you kidding me?” the toddler asked her parents. “Oh my God, I’m so excited.”

Williams and Ohanian, 40, welcomed Olympia in September 2017 — and the new mom barely survived the emergency C-section.

She “fought hard” to get nurses to listen to her fears and do a CAT scan, where a blood clot was discovered in Williams’ lungs.

“They needed to insert a filter into my veins to break up the clot before it reached my heart,” she recalled in an April 2022 Elle essay.

“Being heard and appropriately treated was the difference between life or death for me.”

Watching Williams experience the “near-fatal complications” was “traumatizing” for her husband, Ohanian, 40, told the Guardian in January 2020.

Two years later, however, the couple decided to give Olympia a younger sibling.

Whenever we’re ready, we can add to our family,’ Williams shared in her April 2022 Vogue cover story, where she also announced her retirement from tennis.

Reflecting on her journey, she added, ‘I definitely don’t want to be pregnant again as an athlete. I need to be fully committed—two feet in tennis or two feet out.’

Since November 2017, Williams and Ohanian have been happily married, embracing life together as a family.
