Serena Williams just gave fans a delightful glimpse into her life with 1-year-old daughter Adira. In a charming clip, the duo enjoys a playful snuggle session that turns into a mini wrestling match, with little Adira determined to wriggle free before returning to her mom’s chest, nearly giving the tennis icon a head butt!
“The best mornings with @adiraohanian,” Williams captioned the post, highlighting that nothing compares to those cozy morning cuddles—headbutts and all! Adira even has her own Instagram account, boasting nearly 39,000 followers.
“Awww. She’s growing so fast ️,” one follower said of the curly-haired little girl Williams shares with husband Alexis Ohanian along with their 7-year-old daughter Olympia.
“Thank you for sharing this moment with us ️️️,” another said.
Others couldn’t help but comment on Adira’s little game of push and pull. “Always beating up on ya Momma @adiraohanian!! ” “She’s got you on the ropes!! 🥰”
In celebration of Adira’s 1st birthday last month, Serena Williams shared breathtaking never-before-seen photos from her maternity shoot that left fans amazed. The carousel featured three stunning images: one of her draped in pink mesh surrounded by flowers, another of her in an aerial yoga hammock with her growing bump peeking through, and a third where she held an aerial hoop in one hand and her bump in the other. “[Adira River Ohanian] is a true light,” Williams captioned the post.
Reflecting on her journey, Williams also shared photos from a floral maternity shoot with her eldest daughter, Olympia, and expressed her initial worries about loving another child as much as she loved Olympia. “Then Adira came along … she is so special, so fun, so funny, so loving, so sweet and so strong!!!” the proud mom wrote. She beautifully noted, “God makes your heart get bigger… My heart simply now is doubled the size and I have a greater capacity to love more!”
Williams also revealed the meaning behind Adira’s name, sharing that it is of Hebrew origin, meaning “mighty,” “strong,” and “majestic.” “It is a Biblical name, meaning ‘Strong One,’” she explained. And little Adira certainly lives up to her name, wrestling with her super fit mom while showering her with love!
