From Court to Cradle: Serena Williams Announces Second Pregnancy in Style at Met Gala!

2 May, 2023

Serena Williams, the four-time Olympic gold medalist and tennis legend, announced exciting news at the Met Gala on Monday. The star athlete revealed that she is pregnant with her second child while walking the red carpet alongside her husband, Alexis Ohanian.

Williams and Ohanian welcomed their first child, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., in September 2017. In an article she wrote for Vogue magazine last year, Williams expressed her desire to focus on her family and move away from tennis. Fans have eagerly been awaiting news of another addition to the family, and their wishes have finally come true.

The Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an annual invitation-only fundraiser for the Costume Institute. Williams and Ohanian were among the star-studded list of attendees, which included celebrities from the worlds of music, film, and fashion.

In fact, the announcement of Williams’ pregnancy was not the only exciting news to come out of the Met Gala. Model Karlie Kloss also confirmed her second pregnancy at the event, sharing a photo of her growing baby bump on Instagram.

Williams’ fellow tennis champion, Roger Federer, was also in attendance at the Met Gala. The Swiss player co-chaired the evening alongside Wintour and other celebrities like Dua Lipa, Penélope Cruz, and Michaela Coel.

Is Serena Serving Up a Comeback? Fans Anticipate a Grand Slam Return

Chiefly, Serena Williams retired from professional tennis after the 2022 US Open, marking the end of an era in the sport. With an open-era record 23 Grand Slam titles to her name, Williams cemented her place as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. However, since her retirement, she has left the door open for a potential comeback, keeping fans on the edge of their seats with speculation about a return to the court.

One of Williams’ most memorable moments came in 2017 when she won the Australian Open while eight weeks pregnant with her daughter Olympia. The victory was a testament to Williams’ skill and determination.  It solidified her status as a role model for women everywhere. Now, Olympia is 5 years old. Fans of Williams eagerly await news of her second child, which the tennis star announced at the 2023 Met Gala.

Serena Williams Aces Pregnancy Game Once Again

Fans of Serena Williams are sure to be thrilled with the news of her second pregnancy. And many will be eagerly awaiting updates on the newest addition to the family. In the meantime, we can all admire Williams’ stunning red carpet look. So let’s wish her and Ohanian all the best on this exciting journey. Congratulations to the happy couple!
