00:24 of the couple holding their newborn,
00:26 along with daughter Olympia jumping in
00:28 to give her baby sis a kiss too.
00:30 I woke up and gazed before you know.

00:48 welcome my beautiful angel.

01:01 Proud father Alexis also shared the happy news on Instagram,
01:04 posting some more snaps of their baby girl,
01:06 saying that their household is teeming with love
01:09 and feeling grateful as they welcome a happy and healthy
01:12 newborn girl.
01:14 It's been amazing.
01:14 I've always wanted to be a mom.
01:16 It's so natural for me.
01:17 And I love it.
01:20 He ends the message thanking Serena
01:21 for giving him another incomparable gift,
01:24 calling her the greatest mother of all time.
01:26 I like to actually be the best at whatever I do.
01:30 Adding he'll never forget the moment he introduced
01:32 Olympia to her baby sister.
01:34 Olympia's been a great sport.
01:37 Serena and Alexis revealed they were expecting
01:39 their second child in May at the Met Gala,
01:41 the athlete debuting her bump on the red carpet.
01:44 With my pregnancy, I wanted to be really stylish.
01:47 And turns out Olympia found out just before the big reveal
01:50 at the event.
01:51 Olympia does not know right now that I am pregnant.
01:56 So the big reveal will be at the Met.
01:57 And then before we leave, I'll tell Olympia.
01:59 The reason I haven't told her
02:01 is 'cause she can't keep a secret.
02:03 Remember how you've been playing
02:04 for a little sister or brother?
02:06 - Mm-hmm.
02:07 - Well, we went to the doctor
02:10 and it turns out I'm not getting fat,
02:14 but I have a baby in my body.
02:17 (laughs)
02:18 - Are you kidding me?
02:20 - No.
02:20 - You're gonna be a big sister.
02:21 - I'm gonna be a big sister.
02:23 (laughs)
02:25 I can't stop this, I'm gonna go back.
02:28 (laughs)
02:30 - But the celebrating didn't stop there.
02:35 Earlier this month, Serena shared
02:36 some behind the scenes footage
02:38 as she and Alexis learned the sex of baby number two.
02:41 - I'm very excited.
02:42 I'm a little nervous and I'm anxious.
02:44 And Olympia's downstairs, like, yelling at me.
02:48 She was ready to go.
02:50 An hour ago, so mommy's a little late.
02:54 - Yeah, mom, dad, and Olympia were grinning ear to ear
02:57 when they found out another little girl
02:59 would be joining them.
03:00 (crowd cheering)
03:03 - The most rewarding thing is just seeing her smile.
03:19 It makes me so happy.
03:21 - Congrats to the family of four.
