Back in April, news leaked that tennis star Serena Williams was expecting her first child after she accidentally posted a photo on Snapchat captioned "20 weeks."
The image was taken down soon after, but it wasn't before it went viral stirring up lots of speculation. On the following day, her spokesperson confirmed the happy news during a phone interview with The New York Times.
Five months later, on September 1, Williams, 35, and her fiance of 8 months, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, welcomed a daughter.
The athlete shared many aspects of her pregnancy with fans including photos from her baby shower, but the new mom remained quiet since the arrival of the baby. Well, until now that is.
Nearly two weeks after the birth of her daughter, Williams shared a video and images of her adorable bundle of joy. She also revealed the baby's name.
The new mom and dad teased that they had something to share with their fans a day before they took to Instagram to post an update about the new addition to their family.
Baby Alexis Olympia Ohanian, who shares the same name as her father, was born at St, Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, weighing 6 pounds 14 ounces. Despite going through some complications at birth, she is doing well. The family had to spend six days in the hospital, but little Alexis is finally home.
"Meet Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. You have to check out link in bio for her amazing journey. Also check out my IG stories," wrote the new mom.
"It's been a long time, but we had a lot of complications, but look who we got "” we got a baby girl!" Williams says in the video, which included a short montage of her journey to motherhood.
The proud mom made sure to remind everyone that Alexis Jr. already has a Grand Slam title because her mom was 8 weeks pregnant when she won her 23rd title.
Ohanian also posted a Reddit-style animation to announce the arrival of his little girl, who he called "mama's perfect sidekick."
