In an exciting turn of events, tennis icon Serena Williams has welcomed her first child, a beautiful baby girl weighing 6 pounds and 13 ounces. The news was confirmed by ESPN, revealing that the champion gave birth in West Palm Beach, Florida, on a Friday afternoon.
Commentator and former tennis star Chris Evert expressed his joy during the U.S. Open broadcast, stating, “I’m absolutely thrilled for her; she will be an incredible role model for her daughter. I told Serena that the love she’s experiencing is unlike anything else.”
Back in April, Serena made waves when she inadvertently announced her pregnancy via a Snapchat post featuring a caption that read “20 weeks.” Although the post was quickly deleted, it went viral before she confirmed the news later that day, revealing her joyful expectations with fiancé Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit.
In a reflective moment shared with a popular magazine, Serena remarked, “If someone had told me last October that I would have a baby—like, not just be pregnant but actually have a baby—I would have thought they were pulling my leg. This is happening way quicker than I anticipated, and it’s all moving so fast.”
Beyoncé was among the first to extend her congratulations, recalling her own struggles with preparing for motherhood. “I don’t know what to do with a baby,” she shared in an interview back in June. “I’ve done absolutely nothing to prepare the baby room.” Welcome to the world of parenting, Serena; no one can truly be fully ready for it!
