Serena Williams lovingly revealed her new baby Adira’s royal nursery in a YouTube montage posted this week.
The 41-year-old tennis icon and her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, share two daughters: Olympia, five, and Adira, who was born earlier this month.
Now Serena has pulled the curtain on the lavish new bedroom she’s prepared for her latest bundle of joy.
Adira’s nursery has a huge crown mounted on the wall above the crib and deep red plush against one of the walls.
Matching red curtain is hung below the crown, giving the appearance of a canopy hanging over the elegantly designed bed.

Luxurious items in the well-appointed nursery include a wine-colored chest, a towering stuffed giraffe and even a walk-in closet.
The room’s design, courtesy of Dutch firm By Selina, featured a stylish floral print that trickled down the wall in one corner.
A couple of stuffed hot air balloons hang from the ceiling, and on the wall is a photo that reads, “VICTORY REDEFINED.”
Serena’s YouTube video started with a few snippets of footage shot three weeks ago, while she was still heavily pregnant with Adira.
At that time the nursery, which had previously been Olympia’s bedroom, was still rather bare and nowhere near the opulence it has since attained.
Decked out in Gucci maternity clothes, Serena briefly showed her fans around the empty room, which was littered with stuff.
She then tried to take the camera into Olympia’s current playroom, only for her little girl to throw her out, to which Serena burst out, “I’ve been kicked out of better places.”
Serena returned to the nursery and started messing around with things, but it became clear that Olympia was still feeling grumpy.

How the other half lives: “It was such a privilege to meet you and custom design the nursery for baby Adira, not knowing the gender or name at the time,” they wrote
Gratitude: “It was truly an honor to personally deliver this to your home, where we felt really welcome, and we are so grateful that you are happy with the result,” the company added
The five-year-old, possibly in a fit of rage at her old bedroom being co-opted, stormed into the nursery, snatched a roll of floral paper from her mother’s hand, then stormed out of the room.
‘Where is your mother? Your mom needs to catch you,” Serena joked. “She’s lucky we’re filming!” I’m kidding. She’s so funny.’

Serena announced Adira’s birth last Tuesday by posting a heartwarming family TikTok that provided the very first public glimpse of her new baby.
She also made public Adira’s name, a Hebrew word whose various translations are “noble,” “mighty,” and “majestic.”
“Welcome, Adira River Ohanian,” Alexis proudly wrote on his own Instagram after Serena announced the baby’s birth on TikTok.

“I’m grateful to report that our home works together with love: a happy and healthy newborn girl and a happy and healthy mama,” the tech mogul said.
‘I feel grateful. @serenawilliams you have now given me another incomparable gift: you are the GMOAT. Thanks to all the wonderful medical staff who took care of my wife and our daughter. I will never forget the moment I introduced @olympiaohanian to her sister,” Alexis continued.
He concluded on a biblical note, quoting the book of Isaiah: “Your peace would have been like a river, your well-being like the waves of the sea.”
Serena and Alexis tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in New Orleans in November 2017, two months after Olympia was born.
