As the WTA star joins an interview to speak about her second book Strive, she revealed interesting details of her private life. Mentioning her equation with Serena Williams’ elder daughter Olympia, Venus shows that she is a dedicated aunt.

In an interview with Harpers Bazaar magazine, Venus talked about the “fun parts” of being an aunt. The WTA star is close to her baby sister Serena Williams’ daughters, Olympia and Adira. In June, Serena had a great revelation about her firstborn daughter’s athletic abilities in an interview with the New York Times. Her statement also presented her elder sister’s equation with Olympia. “Even Venus, she was like, ‘That kid has more talent than you and I combined,’ and she’s not lying,” said Serena.

According to Harper Bazaar’s interview, Venus called her relationship with Serena’s daughters “wonderful.” She also presented the reason and said she doesn’t “have to be the one doing the disciplining,” and that she “gets to come for the fun parts.” This WTA star’s statements echoed her profound love for Olympia and Adira.

Venus said, “as soon as I go over there the older one wants me to start running around. Who wants to do that! I’m so tired of running. Can’t we sit and play Lego or something?” This revelation was enough to show that Venus has an idea of what a parent goes through every day.

Her statement further showcased her love for Olympia. Venus might seem closer to her sister’s firstborn but it might be because Olympia held the sole proprietorship of her auntie’s heart for six years before Adira arrived in 2023.

However, Olympia’s baby sister received an equally warm position in Venus’ heart right after birth. Venus’s comments on naming Adira expressed her intense involvement with the Williams-Ohanian family and her profound love for her nieces.

Serena Williams’ big sister represents her love for Adira in an interesting confession

Last year in December, Queen V revealed that her baby sister consulted her for her Adira River’s name. She did not suggest anything and let Serena choose her favorite name. However, the elder Williams sister shared her truth later. In a video uploaded on her official YouTube profile, this WTA star said, “Of course, I had opinions. I wanted to name her a certain name. But I didn’t say anything because that’s not my job.”

Venus also portrayed her love for children when she said, “I literally just want to put an order in and say, ‘Hey, can you get my baby here in one year and make it just as cute as Olympia and Adira.’ They’re such beautiful kids.” Queen V was delighted when she became an auntie for the second time and said, “So I’m really excited to be an aunt for the second time. It’s an interesting experience.

Venus Williams’ statements channel the feelings of a regular auntie who loves to spill their sister’s kids. While Olympia and Adira have ideal parents, they also have a talented aunt who has inspired generations with her wisdom. Given how Venus loves the adorable Ohanian duo, the kids will surely be fortunate to have their aunt by their side while growing up.
