Serena Williams has already become a mother for the second time. The American tennis player and her husband, technology entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian, announced last Tuesday the birth of her second daughter, whom they have named Adira River.
The couple also decided to add a fun touch to the announcement of the little girl’s arrival, uploading a video to the TikTok social network that has caused thousands of smiles and reactions around the world. Some images in which you can see the couple at home, comfortably dressed, accompanied by their eldest daughter, Alexis Olympia, five years old. At one point, the tennis player gets up from her place and goes looking for something, which is none other than little Adira River, in her first public appearance.
Wrapped in a blanket and with her older sister incessantly caressing her, the tennis player writes a message to accompany these tender images: “Welcome, my little angel.”
Ohanian also wanted to share some pictures of the happy new family of four on his public Instagram profile. The Reddit co-founder assured that both his wife and his little girl are “happy and healthy,” and that he will never forget the moment he became a father for the second time. “I am happy to report that our home is once again filled with love: a happy, healthy newborn and a happy, healthy mommy.”
The couple thus completes their small family after more than a decade together. They got engaged in 2016, with little Olympia coming into their lives in 2017 and saying “I do” just a year later.
The tennis player and the founder of the Reddit platform, who have been together for almost a decade, got engaged in 2016 and had Olympia the following year, after which they formalized their union. The announcement of her second paternity came this year, during the Met Gala in New York, at which time the athlete showed her incipient tummy in a spectacular design.
At 41 years old, Serena Williams is considered one of the best players of all time. In her legendary career, she has already won 73 trophies, including 23 ‘big ones’, with seven Wimbledons, seven Australian Opens, six US Opens and three Roland Garros.
