Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian are joyfully anticipating the arrival of their second child, a baby girl.
The expectant mom recently shared delightful photos from their charming gender reveal party on Instagram. In the photos, the 41-year-old is seen glowing in a pink and white striped skirt paired with white trainers, and a white crop top that beautifully showcases her blossoming baby bump. Alexis, standing by her side, is casually dressed in a black X-Men shirt, shorts, and Crocs. Their firstborn Olympia Ohanian is captured in a heartwarming shot, smiling broadly as she sits on the lawn between them, dressed in a cute pink dress.
The family is seen beaming with joy as they strike a pose in what seems to be their backyard. The space was transformed into a festive scene, adorned with an array of vibrant balloons and a beautifully designed backdrop, adding a touch of magic to their special celebration.
“The big REVEAL is now live on YouTube! Did you guess right?”, the 23 Grand Slam champion captioned the photos while referring to the heartwarming video which she shared on her YouTube channel.
The video captured the moment the esteemed tennis legend and her husband broke the wonderful news to their daughter, encapsulating their joy for the world to see.
Titled ‘THE BIG REVEAL,’ begins with an intimate glimpse of her positive pregnancy test. The retired athlete then humorously shares that Olympia, who was still oblivious to the pregnancy news, had begun making innocent observations about her mother’s growing figure, even affectionately referring to her as ‘fat’.”
‘I’m nervous because I don’t have any contingency plan if it turns out to be a boy,’ Williams admitted in the video’s opening moments.
She openly admits to feeling a mix of ‘nervousness’ and ‘excitement,’ and shares that her little one, Olympia, was so ready for the day that she was prepared to leave more than an hour early.
The video also offers a glimpse of their home’s charming façade, complete with a balloon-decorated entrance that proudly announces, ‘Our next great adventure,’ at the top, hinting at the joyous news.
The camera captures Williams and her husband stepping out of their car. Alexis is summer ready in his relaxed ensemble while Williams on the other hand, is seen in a chic white blouse that beautifully accentuates her growing baby bump, paired with a pink and white striped skirt.”
The next clip was a transition to show the beaming star mingling with her guests, sharing warm conversations, and creating memorable moments. She also posed for photographs with her father Richard Williams and her sister Venus Williams, adding to the family-filled joy of the occasion.
As the daytime festivities transitioned into an evening celebration, Ohanian took center stage. He grabbed the microphone and playfully directed his wife to cut the cake. To the surprise of the guests, the cake’s interior did not reveal the typical blue or pink, defying expectations.
In a private video, Alexis said, “Inside (the cake), it’s yellow.” He continued, “I’m doing this because I want to trick her and Olympia into thinking that this is the reveal. She will undoubtedly be disappointed when she cuts into this cake, but hopefully, she will like my troll.”
The former professional tennis player, with a mischievous glint in her eyes, pretends to smear the piece of cake she just cut onto Alexis’s face. The camera then pans back to the party scene, where she proceeds to slice into the cake, revealing a simple, standard yellow cake to the unsuspecting guests.
In that adorable moment, Olympia grabs the mic, showing her disapproval of the prank by stating that her father can ‘never do that ever again.’ Ohanian, however, defends his actions, insisting that Williams and Olympia ‘deserve the best’ and that the cake prank was just a ‘little bit’ of fun.
However, the real surprise was yet to come. Instead of the traditional cake reveal, Alexis had planned something more high-tech and exciting. A drone show lights up the sky, spelling out the words ‘It’s a…’ as his glowing wife and daughter watch on with bated breath. The suspense is then broken as the drones revealed in a dazzling display that they are expecting a girl.
Williams was then seen immediately lifting her arms high up in the air beaming in excitement and pure joy. Ohanian cound’t contain his thrill as his voice echoed throughout the party, saying, ‘It’s a girl! It’s a girl!’ The announcement reverberates through the air, bringing a wave of cheer among the guests. Olympia, their adorable daughter, is visibly overjoyed at the news. Her eyes lights up with glee as she realizes that she will soon be stepping into the role of a big sister.
