Over the last few weeks, Venus and Serena Williams have engaged in a hilarious online battle that has left their fans in splits. It has seen the 23-time Grand Slam champion accuse her sister of stealing. It escalated when Venus banned her sister from her house. Despite all the banter, they still are sisters who love and deeply care for each other. This was particularly evident in both Serena’s and Venus’ latest Instagram posts.

Serena recently posted about her lack of confidence right now when it comes to taking photos of herself. After all, she is pregnant, and with the baby bump getting bigger with each passing day, it’s becoming harder for her to look shapely. Venus, being the concerned elder sister, took to social media and tried to provide some much-needed encouragement to Serena. It marked quite a drastic shift from the seemingly never-ending banter between the two sisters in recent weeks.

Recently, Serena shared a series of images of herself trying to look her best. However, her captions proved that in her mind, she isn’t her usual, confident self. Serena wrote, “Being confident is not always easy. Not even for me! Especially taking pics and being pregnant!”

However, Serena went on to motivate her followers through the words she uses to keep going herself. “Sometimes people close to you will try to take your joy”. She added, “but it’s important to remember who you are and never be afraid to shine.”
