00:00 I definitely want to have more kids.
00:02 It's just like balance is key.
00:04 I'm just like, okay, I need to figure out
00:06 when that's gonna be, but hopefully soon,
00:09 you know, we'll see.
00:10 No pressure, right?
00:11 Just over a year later,
00:14 Serena Williams' wish coming into fruition.
00:17 The tennis pro officially gave birth to baby number two
00:21 with hubby Alexis Ohanian.
00:23 I'm excited about it.
00:24 The couple's already mom and dad to daughter Olympia,
00:27 whom they welcomed in 2017.
00:29 We have a great little family going on.

00:33 Serena!
00:34 Serena announced she was expecting her second child
00:37 earlier this year, showing off her bump at the Met Gala.
00:41 But moments before hitting the iconic stares,
00:47 the star revealed her pregnancy on Instagram,
00:50 writing, "Was so excited when Anna Wintour
00:53 "invited the three of us to the Met Gala."
00:55 With my pregnancy, I wanted to be really stylish.
00:58 But Serena did more than surprise her fans
01:01 with the baby news.
01:02 She and Alexis also kept it a secret from their firstborn.
01:06 Olympia does not know right now that I am pregnant,
01:10 so the baby will be at the Met,
01:12 and then before we leave, I'll tell Olympia.
01:14 And check out this moment, Olympia seemingly finding out
01:17 she's about to be a big sis.
01:20 The most rewarding thing is just seeing her smile every day.
01:24 It makes me so happy.
01:25 Alexis couldn't help but gleam over their new addition too,
01:29 writing on Twitter, "Mama and Papa love this parenting thing,
01:33 "so we're back at it, and Olympia Ohanian
01:36 "is gonna be the best big sister.
01:38 "She's been asking and praying for this for a minute."
01:41 Olympia's been a great sport.
01:43 The Reddit creator continued, saying,
01:44 "Papa is the best title I've ever had,
01:47 "better than founder and CEO."
01:50 And Serena definitely feels the same,
01:52 ever since first earning the role of mom in 2017.
01:56 It's been amazing.
01:57 I've always wanted to be a mom, you know,
01:59 but I never seemed to have time.
02:01 I was always working with my career,
02:03 and then it just happened, and I was just like,
02:05 I don't know, and then just dove right in.
02:07 It's so natural for me, and I love it.
02:10 Working motherhood is real, it's so real.
02:12 But I have my priorities, and Olympia's that,
02:15 and Alexis works all the time as well.
02:17 I've never a day without Olympia.
02:19 She's my priority, and every day I need to be home with her,
02:22 'cause I don't wanna miss any moments with her.
02:26 And now with the arrival of their second bundle of joy,
02:29 they're sure to love all these new memories
02:31 as a family of four.
