Serena Williams Is Expecting Her First Baby With Fiancé Alexis Ohanian

Updated: April 20

After clinching a seventh, historic Australian Open title this January, Serena Williams is now adding another title to her already-impressive list of achievements: mother.

One of the greatest tennis players of all time took to her personal Snapchat account to reveal that she is currently pregnant with her first child. In the snap, she showed off a tiny bump while sporting a swimsuit, and added the simple caption, “20 weeks.”

This will be the first baby for the 23-time Grand Slam champion and her fiancé, Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian; Williams and Ohanian got engaged this past December in Italy.
