Tennis legend Serena Williams made history as she became the first-ever athlete to win the CFDA Award. It was a momentous occasion for the former world number one. Williams also reflected on how far she has come and the growth of her family.
Serena welcomed her second daughter, Adira River, with her husband, Alexis Ohanian, back in August of this year. At the time of her retirement from tennis, Serena had expressed her wish to expand her family, and it has grown by one.
During the red carpet, Serena offered an insight into her life as a mother of two. She revealed her worries as well, but it all worked out for her, despite the initial concerns. “I was worried. I was like, ‘Okay, I don’t know if I can like anyone as much as I love Olympia,'” said Serena.
Williams also spoke about how Olympia has taken to being the best older sister to baby Adira. She confessed that she had been worried about their bond, but Olympia put her fears to rest. Olympia is navigating it well and has taken to calling Adira “little sis.”
Olympia’s love for her little sister is well documented. Alexis, her father, had shared an adorable photo of a smiling Olympia holding her sister. It is not surprising to hear from their mother that she is playing her part well.
Serena Williams looked sensational in a black sequinned gown at the CFDA Awards. She left her mark on the tennis court as well as in the world of fashion. Now it seems that Olympia has also inherited Serena’s sense of fashion at such a young age.
Serena Williams reveals that Olympia is a fashionista
Apparently, Olympia is following in her mother’s fashionable footsteps. At least Serena thinks so. The 23-time Grand Slam champion dropped this piece of information on the red carpet for the CFDA Awards recently.
Williams has always looked fashionable on and off the court. Some of her tournament outfits have acquired legendary status in the world of tennis. Usually, Serena played a big role in designing them herself, and it seems that the apple has not fallen far from the tree either.

“Since she was a kid, she knew what she wanted to wear. When she was like 2, she would say, ‘I want this, I want that.’ She always knew what she wanted,” she said about Olympia.
Serena Williams retired from tennis last year, but she continues to make an impact in the lives of her fans. She is creating a formidable legacy to leave behind.
