Serena Williams, Meghan Markle’s Buddy, Gives Birth to Her Second Child


Serena Williams, who is friends with Meghan Markle, just had her second child with her husband, Alexis Ohanian.

Serena Williams told her fans the happy news in a TikTok on Tuesday. The video shows her getting up from a table and leaving the frame before coming back with the baby.

The athlete shared a sweet video of herself, her husband, and their five-year-old daughter Olympia with their new baby girl, Adira. The video was titled “Welcome my beautiful angel.” The name of Serena’s baby girl means “noble, majestic, mighty and powerful.”

In the video, Alexis and Olympia look as happy as can be, and Olympia’s big sister gives Adira River a sweet kiss on the head.

Some social media accounts also wrote about the baby girl and her mother, who was happy and healthy.

“Feeling grateful. @serenawilliams you’ve now given me another incomparable gift — you’re the GMOAT. Thanks to all the amazing medical staff who took care of my wife & our daughter, I’ll never forget the moment I introduced @olympiaohanian to her baby sister.”

Just a few weeks ago, tennis star Serena announced at a big party that she was having another girl. Now, Adira is here. Meghan Markle is also said to have sent Serena her best wishes.

In 2010, the Duchess and Serena met for the first time at the Super Bowl. When they ran into each other again in 2014, they got along “immediately” and have been close ever since.

Even though they both have busy lives, Meghan and Serena always find time to cheer each other on, whether it’s Meghan going to Grand Slam tennis events or Serena going to Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.

Meghan once said this about the tennis player: “She will be an amazing mom. The very best, because she is so attuned to balancing strength and sensitivity.”
