Serena Williams stands as a remarkable figurehead for many aspiring young athletes the world over. Her candidness about her personal affairs, such as the recent announcement of her second pregnancy, only stokes her legend further. What truly ties her to her fans, however, is her bond with her daughter Olympia. In a recent debut YouTube video, the famed tennis player opened up about a difficult choice she made before the Met Gala.

Despite her openness about her personal life on social media, Serena Williams did not reveal the news of her pregnancy to her daughter Olympia due to a peculiar reason. Williams planned to disclose the big reveal to her 5-year-old just before leaving for the Met Gala event.

Serena Williams shares an interesting fact about Olympia in her first YouTube video

In her first-ever YouTube video, Williams confessed that she didn’t inform her 5-year-old daughter, Olympia, about her pregnancy. This is because, she feared Olympia’s inability to keep a secret.

Williams’ YouTube video is just one of many ways she is using her platform to inspire and empower others. In the YouTube video, Williams said, “Olympia does not know right now that I am pregnant. So the big reveal will be at the Met and then before we leave, I’ll tell Olympia.”

The American tennis legend also added, “The reason I haven’t told her is that she can’t keep a secret.” Williams also claimed that she looks like Inspector Gadget when she is pregnant. She joked that she looks foreign when she was close to someone.
