Williams shared a video with her daughter Olympia, showing their care during
her second pregnancy.
The 23-time
Grand Slam champion retired from professional tennis after the 2022 US Open
almost a year ago.
Serena Williams stayed away from major events until the 2023
Met Gala in early May, when she made her second pregnancy public and showcased
it on the red carpet:
"Was
so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us to the Met Gala,"
Williams wrote on Instagram alongside photos of herself in her outfit with her
husband Alexis Ohanian.
On
Saturday, July 15, the former world No. 1 posted a video on her YouTube
channel, showcasing the products she uses to care for her belly. In the video
titled "My Belly Routine with Olympia," Serena shows the products she
uses in her morning routine to keep her belly healthy:
“When I had
Olympia in my belly I didn’t really put a lot of thing on, I just put like
lotions and stuff. This time around I’m like I don’t want to get any stretch marks,”
Williams started,”
"I
heard well, I saw where Mariah Carey said she used to take bath with like
Vitamin E oil every single day now," she added later.
"Olympia is my best friend," Serena Williams clarifies that her daughter is her closest friend.
The
American legend commented that her best friend had recommended some products,
which elicited a reaction from Olympia. Serena clarified that her daughter,
Olympia, is actually her best friend.
"People
love it my best friend actually really loves it and she told me to get her some
but, well, my other one of my other best friends, sorry, Olympia is my best
friend," Williams added.
The
41-year-old multi-Grand Slam champion has won 73 WTA titles during her career
and held the world No. 1 ranking for a total of 319 weeks, with 186 of those
weeks being consecutive from February 2013 to September 2016. This achievement
puts her on par with Steffi Graf for the most consecutive weeks as the
top-ranked player.
