When Serena Williams showed up at the 2023 Met Gala with husband Alexis Ohanian, the fact that Roger Federer was co-chairing the event suddenly seemed to take a backseat. The women’s tennis legend with 23 Grand Slam titles looked incredible in an all-black Gucci gown. However, what was even more incredible was the announcement that the power couple had made on their way to the high-profile fashion event in New York.

As it turned out, Williams was pregnant with the couple’s second child. Ever since then, the hype has been building up as the world waited with bated breath for Williams to give birth, just as much as Ohanian and daughter Olympia. Now, the day has finally come. Unsurprisingly, it’s loving husband Ohanian who took to social media to announce the mammoth news. An emotional Ohanian penned a poignant note, which also revealed the child’s name.

It was a move that sent shockwaves through the sporting world, as Olympia became the youngest co-owner in professional sports.

In June, Ohanian made another mammoth announcement.

However, what was more significant was the fact that Ohanian and Williams had already named their unborn second child at the time as one of the owners-to-be of the new team. So, you have a lot to look forward to, Adira River Ohanian.
