Serena Williams is slowly making a return to the spotlight, following the birth of her baby daughter earlier this month. This week she shared her first photo since becoming a mum, posing for a selfie with fiancé and new father Alexis Ohanian.The picture sees the couple looking down the camera, Serena’s arm wrapped around her partner. Alongside the image, she wrote: “…but are you ready?” Fans were quick to offer messages of congratulations to the pair, with one writing: “Congrats mama!” and another adding: “The most beautiful couple eveeeeerrrr.”
Serena, 35, and Reddit co-founder Alexis, 34, welcomed their little girl on 1st September at St Mary’s Medical Centre in West Palm Beach. So far, the couple have not revealed the name of their baby daughter.
The sportstar had hinted that her due date was getting close in early August, when she reached out on Reddit for advice on what to pack in her hospital bag. She wrote: “When did you pack your hospital bag? One month before? Six weeks? Eight weeks? I’m totally stalling. But I have a lot of time still… I think… Anything you didn’t expect to need that I’ll really appreciate having in there?”
And she’s already crediting the kid with winning a Grand Slam title, since Serena won the Australian Open while she was pregnant with A2.
But the delivery wasn’t exactly smooth sailing — 35-year-old Serena says there were “a lot of complications” at the hospital that required them to stay there for 6 or 7 days.
The good news … everything seems fine now and Serena says, “Look what we got! A baby girl!”
