Have you been wondering why ace tennis player Serena Williams has been out of action over the last year or so, and has missed the last few Grand Slams? Well, she was out on maternity leave, preparing for the birth of what would be her first child.
Serena holds a record 23 Grand Slam titles and could well have increased that number in 2017 if she wasn’t away on pregnancy leave. In December last year, the 35-year old American announced her engagement with American entrepreneur and investor Alexis Ohanian.
Ohanian is also the co-founder of popular social news and content website ‘Reddit‘. Earlier this year, the news of Serena’s pregnancy broke out and Serena was always pretty bold about it, not hesitating to go out in public and even doing pregnancy photoshoots.
On 1st September 2017, Serena gave birth to her daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. A little weird, if you ask me, that the couple chose to give their baby girl the name of her father Alexis. Over 10 days have passed since the baby’s birth and Serena finally shared a first picture with her daughter.
While she posted a few Instagram stories, she also uploaded a picture of the mother-daughter pair cuddling. Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. was also tagged in the picture. Yes, she has her own Instagram account, and she has also gained over 4,000 followers in a little more than an hour.
We at Read Scoops were wondering whether the child would get into business like her father, or would prefer following in her mother’s footsteps. According to Serena however, the baby has already won one Grand Slam title, as Serena was pregnant when she played and won the Australian Open in January this year.
Here’s the picture Serena uploaded to her Instagram account, which boasts of 6.5 million followers:
The couple have been engaged for almost a year now and Serena has mentioned in the past that she will be shifting to San Francisco with Alexis after they tie the knot. Congratulations Serena and Alexis!
