Serena Williams announces she is pregnant with her second baby, shows baby bump
Serena Williams has announced that she is pregnant with her second baby. On Monday, Williams shared a couple of photos taken at the Met Gala on her Instagram. In one specific photo taken at the Met Gala, Williams is holding her baby bump.
Williams, 41, welcomed her first child in 2017 when Olympia was born. “Was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us to the Met Gala,” Williams captioned her Instagram post.
Williams revealed in August she was planning on expanding her family
In August, Williams announced her plans to retire from tennis in a lengthy essay for Vogue.
In her essay, Williams revealed she and her husband were hoping to expand their family in the near future. Also, Williams reflected on becoming a mother and motherhood. “Earlier in my career, I never thought about having kids.
There were times when I’ve wondered if I should ever bring kids into this world, with all its problems. I was never that confident or comfortable around babies or children, and I figured that if I ever did have a baby, I would have people taking care of it 24/7.
I’m not going to lie—I definitely have a lot of support. But I’m also an incredibly hands-on mother. My husband will tell you I am too hands-on. In five years, Olympia has only spent one 24-hour period away from me.
This past year, while I was recovering from a hamstring injury, I got to pick her up from school four or five days a week, and I always looked forward to seeing her face light up when she walked out of the building and saw me waiting there for her.
The fact is that nothing is a sacrifice for me when it comes to Olympia. It all just makes sense. I want to teach her how to tie her shoes, how to read, where babies come from, and about God. Just like my mom taught me,” Williams wrote for Vogue in August.
