Serena Williams shares her pregnancy news with daughter Olympia, five, in adorable YouTube video
Serena Williams told her daughter that she’s going to be a big sister in a cute baby YouTube video posted on her channel on Tuesday.
The 41-year-old tennis superstar — who revealed earlier this month that she’s pregnant with her second child on the Met Gala red carpet — documented the moment she told Olympia, five, the happy news.
The clip, titled “Olympia’s Surprise,” began with Serena showing the camera a close-up of a positive pregnancy test, which showed she was “super happy.”
Serena then recalled a funny anecdote when she told the camera that Olympia didn’t know she was pregnant yet, but did call her “fat” and was “stressed out” by her weight gain.
Later in the video, the athlete was joined by her husband Alexis Ohanian, 40, as they broke the news to the little girl, who was overjoyed and started running and screaming with excitement.
