She shared about her daughter when she was a toddler and seven months old. “I love her so much, we are just so close.

She’s been saying her first word a little bit, and she’s been saying mom,” Serena Williams told Jimmy Fallon.

Followed by that, she revealed a funny encounter with her husband Ohanian when they first met in Rome, Italy. Williams was in Rome for a tournament, and they met on the breakfast table. During their first meeting, she tried to scare him off.
