Tennis champion Serena Williams, 41, and her husband Alexis Ohanian have joyfully welcomed their second daughter into the world. In an endearing TikTok video shared on Tuesday, the couple introduced their newborn, named Adira River Ohanian, to the world. The video, capturing a heartwarming family moment, featured Serena, resplendent in a pink dress, walking over to Alexis and sharing a tender kiss. Their five-year-old daughter, Olympia, also dressed in pink, joined them, receiving affectionate kisses from her parents.
The brief clip took an unexpected turn when Serena playfully indicated that she had forgotten something. She retraced her steps, reappearing in the frame holding their precious bundle of joy, Adira. The family exuded happiness and gratitude as they celebrated the arrival of their second child.
Her husband, Alexis Ohanian shared on Instagram, “Feeling grateful. @serenawilliams 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 @olympiaohanian to her baby sister.”
Earlier this month, Serena Williams had excitedly revealed the gender of her baby at a party, sharing the anticipation and joy with her husband. The couple’s journey together began when they crossed paths at a hotel in Rome in 2015. Their connection blossomed, leading to their engagement in December 2016. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Olympia, in September of the following year, and their union was solidified with a star-studded wedding ceremony in New Orleans that November.
Serena, an icon in the world of tennis, had once confessed that she hadn’t always envisioned herself as a parent. However, her perspective shifted with the birth of Olympia, as she wholeheartedly embraced motherhood. In an interview with Vogue, she reflected on her transformation, admitting that she was initially uncertain about the prospect of having children due to the challenges of the world. But her love for Olympia had changed everything, and she found that being a mother was a source of immeasurable joy and fulfillment.
