00:12 The star offered fans a glimpse
00:15 at what goes down behind the scenes
00:17 after welcoming her second child, baby Adira,
00:19 with husband Alexis Ohanian.
00:21 From a glamorous night out to the not so glam aftermath,
00:25 even showing a look at her breastfeeding prep.
00:27 - Working motherhood is real, it's so real.
00:30 But I have my priorities.
00:31 - Serena shared the video on TikTok,
00:33 writing in the caption, "What my life is really like."
00:36 - I've always wanted to be a mom, you know,
00:37 but I never seemed to have time.
00:40 I was always working with my career
00:41 and then it just happened and I was just like,
00:43 I don't know, and then just dove right in.
00:45 And it's so natural for me and I love it.
00:48 - And in the clip, Serena's rocking her look
00:50 from the CFDA Awards earlier this month,
00:52 where she received the Fashion Icon Award.
00:55 - I just feel like you can be yourself
00:57 in fashion, you can always, especially in sport.
01:00 I use my platform to be myself
01:03 and also to show myself in fashion.
01:04 It was like my runway, you know?
01:07 And so for me, that's what means the most.
01:09 - Meanwhile, Serena welcomed a new addition
01:11 to her family in August, a little girl named Adira.
01:13 - And I was worried, I was like, okay,
01:15 I don't know if I can like anyone
01:17 as much as I love Olympia and it works.
01:20 I was really nervous about that,
01:21 but I feel it worked out.
01:24 - Yeah, Olympia couldn't wait for her little sister
01:27 to join the fam.
01:28 - Remember how you've been praying
01:29 for a little sister or brother?
01:31 - Mm-hmm.
01:32 - Well, we went to the doctor
01:34 and it turns out I'm not getting fat,
01:38 but I have a baby in my belly.
01:42 - Are you kidding me?
01:44 - No.
01:45 - You're gonna be a big sister.
01:46 - I'm gonna be a big sister.
01:47 (laughing)
01:50 - Though it looks like she had some reservations
01:54 about giving up her space.
01:56 - A little history about this room.
01:58 This actually used to be Olympia's room.
02:00 Hi ma'am, how may I help you?
02:02 Ma'am, excuse me.
02:07 Excuse me.
02:11 Excuse me.
02:13 (dramatic music)
02:16 - Now Olympia had nothing but sass for mom
02:25 as she prepared for Adira's new nursery.
02:27 - She just is this kid that just shines without trying
02:31 in front of the camera.
02:32 It's so funny.
02:33 - But now she's got nothing but love for her baby sis.
02:36 - She loves it and you know,
02:38 Adira's like a tiny little baby,
02:40 so Olympia just calls her her little sis
02:42 and she prayed for a sister, so.
02:44 - And clearly fans love seeing Serena
02:46 own that work-life balance with or without the glam.
02:49 (siren blaring)
