Serena Williams is pregnant, her representative confirmed Wednesday afternoon, hours after the tennis star posted and then deleted what appeared to be a baby announcement on social media.
"I'm happy to confirm Serena is expecting a baby this Fall," the athlete's rep told the Associated Press via email.
Williams' early morning Snapchat selfie showed the 35-year-old athlete in profile, wearing a bright yellow one-piece swimsuit and sporting the bittiest of bellies _ captioned with the declaration, "20 weeks."
Williams and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian got engaged in December. Other posts on her Snapchat showed signs of what appeared to be a vacation in Mexico.
Along with lots of entertainment and news outlets, the Women's Tennis Association picked up on the Snapchat post early in the morning but later took down its congratulations message, according to CNN, which posted a screen grab of the deleted selfie. Tennis' U.S. Open offered congratulations as well, without question.
