Serena Williams says heartbreak is a part of life
Serena Williams stepped outside of the house and resumed her work on an unfinished painting in the yard to answer the question. She then looked at the camera and explained that all heartbreaks come with an expiration date.
“Heartbreak is a part of life. Whether it’d be a loved one, a boyfriend, or an animal, but time heals all wounds,” she said.

She also revealed that, in a relationship, loyalty is a must for her, and the lack of it is surely a deal-breaker.
However, with her husband Alexis Ohanian, everything has worked out well. The couple also has an adorable three-year-old daughter, Olympia, who has become the center of their lives.
In the interview, Serena revealed that having a kid had always been a part of her life plan. Now, she looks forward to doing the best she can for her daughter.
Tennis-wise, the four-time Olympic Gold medallist recently pulled out from the ongoing Miami Open 2021. As of now, she would probably be preparing to return to the court during the clay season.
What’s next for Williams in 2021?
Later in the interview, the American also talked about the lessons learned about love. Engrossed in her art, she stressed that love is “an amazing feeling” and the opportunity to feel that is special, and it applies directly to her love for tennis.
