Serena Williams, Alexis Ohanian Announce Birth, Share Name of Their Second Child

Tennis legend Serena Williams gave birth to her second child, named Adira River Ohanian, with husband Alexis Ohanian, the couple announced on Tuesday.

Now older sister Olympia, age 5, has the little sibling she’s always wanted.

Ohanian shared photos of the family with their new addition, including a sentimental caption about their new family of four.

“Welcome, Adira River Ohanian,” Ohanian wrote. “I’m grateful to report our house is teaming with love: a happy & healthy newborn girl and happy & healthy mama. Feeling grateful. @serenawilliams you’ve now given me another incomparable gift — you’re the GMOAT. Thanks to all the amazing medical staff who took care of my wife & our daughter I’ll never forget the moment I introduced @olympiaohanian to her baby sister.”

Williams first shared the news with a TikTok on Tuesday, as she says she’ll be right back, then returns with their newborn baby girl.

The 23-time Grand Slam winner “evolved away” from tennis after last September’s U.S. Open. One of the biggest reasons behind her decision was the desire for the couple to grow their family. Williams previously won the 2017 Australian Open while pregnant with Olympia.
