Serena Williams has hinted she expecting her first child with fiancé Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit.
The 35-year-old star tennis player by posting an image of herself captioned, “20 weeks” on Snapchat, but quickly deleted it.
The image shows the athlete pose side-on while wearing a bright yellow one-piece swimsuit.
If she is in fact 20 weeks, that means the 23-time Grand Slam winner was approximately four weeks pregnant when she played in the ASB Classic in Auckland.
She was out of the tournament in the second round – less than 20 weeks ago – and won the Australian Open just a few weeks later.
Naturally, the internet has reacted brilliantly to the exciting life update:
In December, the 35-year-old became engaged to boyfriend Alexis Ohanian while holidaying in Italy.
Posting on Reddit, Serena shared a beautiful poem about the pair’s “full circle” romance alongside a cartoon of the engagement, including a large – albeit cartoon – rock.
Borrowing Alexis’ Reddit username, the cartoon dubbed Serena as the “future Mrs Kn0thing.”
On her verified Reddit account, Serena penned, “I came home/ A little late/ Someone had a bag packed for me/ And a carriage awaited.
“Destination: Rome/ To escort me to my very own ‘charming’/ Back to where our stars first collided.”
She continued, “And now it was full circle/ At the same table we first met by chance/ This time he made it not by chance/ But by choice/ Down on one knee/ He said 4 words/ And I said yes.”
Alexis responded to the post via his own Reddit account, writing, “And you made me the happiest man on the planet”.
The engagement was also announced on Alexis’ Facebook page as the tech-giant linked to Williams’ Reddit post, including the caption, “She said yes”.
According to E! News, Serena’s friends and family are absolutely thrilled with the engagement.
One source told the publication that Serena’s friends are “so happy” for her.
“They’ve never seen Serena this happy before with a man. It sounds cheesy, but it was love at first sight.”
“They laugh non-stop and that really fuels their relationship,” before adding, “They are on the same page in life and are excited to start something great with each other and build and grow a family,” the insider added.
