Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian are soaking up their time as a new family of four.
“Serena is at home happy and recovering,” a source exclusively reveals in the newest issue of Us Weekly. “Everyone’s healthy and it’s going very well.”
Williams, 41, announced via TikTok that she and Ohanian, 40, had welcomed their second daughter, Adira River, on August 22. “Welcome my beautiful angel,” the tennis legend captioned a video of herself, Ohanian and their two daughters.
Now with two little ones at home — the proud parents are also Mom and Dad to daughter Olympia, 6 — the insider tells Us that Ohanian is loving his role as a girl dad. “Alexis is such a hands-on dad and so caring and supportive,” adds the source. “He’s loving being surrounded by women and takes the role of girl dad very seriously.”
Earlier this year, Williams — who wed the Reddit cofounder in 2017 — broke news of her second pregnancy by showing off her baby bump at the 2023 Met Gala. “Was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us to the Met Gala,” the athlete captioned Instagram pics of her and Ohanian’s custom Gucci looks on May 1.
Olympia, meanwhile, found out the big news after the rest of the world did. “Olympia does not know right now that I am pregnant, so the big reveal will be at the Met and then before we leave, I’ll tell Olympia,” Williams explained in a May 5 YouTube video. “The reason I haven’t told her is because she can’t keep a secret!”
