Serena Williams’ incredibly rare family video featuring dad and daughter sends fans into meltdown
The tennis star posted a clip on Instagram which showed her daughter, Olympia, riding her little bicycle past her doting granddad, who was standing on a sidewalk filming and encouraging his granddaughter as she cycled past him.
The clip of her rarely seen dad wasn’t lost on Serena, as she captioned the clip: “A rare sighting, the one and only G.O.A.T. still motivating … King Richard, but I call him daddy.”
Fans were excited to catch a glimpse of Richard and rushed to the comments to share their joy over his appearance.
“So happy to see your Daddy…he’s been missed on the tours! Thanks for sharing,” replied one follower. A second said: ” The King still looks solid and sturdy!”
A third added: “This is the most adorable thing!” A fourth penned: “So happy to see him doing well.”
Fans of Serena will become better acquainted with her father later this month thanks to the upcoming biopic King Richard, starring Will Smith.
The film is based on the life and training of Serena and her sister Venus from the point of view of their dad, and how he raised them to both be tennis superstars.
Earlier this month, in anticipation of the film’s release on November 19, Serena shared the cover of Entertainment Weekly on Instagram, revealing she, Venus, and Will are this month’s cover stars.
