Are children a mother’s first priority? For former WTA number one Serena Williams, the answer is an absolute yes. Balancing her roles as a trailblazing entrepreneur and doting mother, this Olympic gold-medalist star consistently makes time for her daughters, Olympia and Adira. Whether volunteering at her elder daughter’s ballet recital or taking her on fun trips to Disneyland, Serena Williams and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, prioritize their children’s happiness and well-being.
Since Williams’ second daughter Adira’s arrival last year, she has joined her big sister in sharing heartwarming family moments. While Olympia Ohanian, a budding seven-year-old golf prodigy, is often seen with her father, the little girl cherishes quality time with her legendary mother too. A recent quiet bonding moment between Serena Williams and Olympia warmed the hearts of the fraternity, including the Reddit co-founder, highlighting that their daughters are at the center of their world.
The former WTA legend dropped a reel on her IG platform where she was spotted enjoying a swing on their lawn with Olympia. As the mother-daughter duo enjoyed the swing together, it revealed their close bond. Sharing the reel, Williams captioned it, “Just another day around the way…. Feeling good today @olympiaohanian.”
The WTA legend’s expression and her words echoed her serene moment with her daughter and expressed how much both of them love spending time with each other. Apart from this adorable bonding time, what struck a chord with Williams’ followers was her husband Alexis Ohanian’s adorable comment. Reflecting on Williams’ equation with her elder daughter, the Reddit co-founder commented, “Lovely moment.” His comment showcased how much he adores the bond between his 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 girl and his wife.
Now, Serena Williams‘ life changed after motherhood. When she retired from the sport, she vested completely as an investor and entrepreneur making her brand WYN Beauty more popular and successful in the United States. However, things changed after Adira’s birth last year and the WTA legend revealed about it in detail.

This former WTA number one tweeted on X that motherhood has changed her. Instead of chasing tennis balls, she was happily running after her second daughter. “My life is very different now. Instead of chasing balls, I’m chasing #Adira and helping #Olympia with tennis lessons and cooking. (And, all this is in-between Venture Capital calls),” said the legend. Her statement expressed her happiness about her life’s second phase. Williams also revealed her obsession with her children in an adorable revelation. “They’re like my biggest love, so I’m obsessed with those kids,” she said. Her words highlighted that even post-retirement her life is as colorful and hectic as it was before. However, like tennis, she enjoys this phase wholeheartedly.
However, at times, Williams gets candid about her struggles too. Reflecting on how she balances her job and her motherhood, this Olympic gold-medalist player once wrote, “My Monday-I was so tired & this was the best I could do. Some days your best may not look as pretty as other days, but running an active beauty brand (@wyn) running after 2 girls, and a VC company (@serena.ventures) lets just say I was exhausted and quite delirious. How was your Monday?” Multitasking might be hard at times but Williams does enjoy this role inspiring working mother.
Serena Williams’ take on motherhood inspires people. It shows her dedication to her children despite her hectic schedule. Williams showcases that her children are her priority and no matter what she would always take care of them and spend time with them creating a bond that will last till eternity.
