Renowned tennis player Serena Williams and her partner, Alexis Ohanian, have joyfully welcomed their second daughter. The couple took to social media platforms on Tuesday to share the delightful news of the arrival of their newborn, Adira River Ohanian. "Our home is filled with love: a joyful and healthy baby girl and a happy and healthy mother. I am truly grateful," expressed Ohanian on Instagram, while also showering praise on Williams, calling her the "GMOAT" (Greatest Mother of All Time).
Ohanian also took a moment to express gratitude towards the medical staff who provided care to his wife and daughter. In a heartwarming caption, he shared a touching quote that seemingly pays tribute to their daughter's middle name, referencing the serenity of a river and the tranquility of the ocean.
Williams herself announced the birth of her daughter with an adorable TikTok video captioned, "Welcome my beautiful angel." In the video, she shares tender moments with her husband and their 5-year-old daughter, Alexis Olympia. After a brief departure, Williams returns with the newborn, and the family of four share an embrace.
During an interview with CBS Mornings in February, Williams discussed her decision to take a break from tennis and expand her family. She revealed that her eldest daughter had been eager to have a sibling, expressing her desire to have a brother or sister. Williams reassured her daughter that they were working on it and that it might take a little longer than expected due to her tennis career.
The arrival of their second daughter is cause for celebration as Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian embrace the beauty of expanding their family and embarking on this new chapter of parenthood.
