Serena Williams Just Revealed the Gender of Her Second Baby With an Impressive Show
Tennis superstar Serena Williams and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, have thrilling news as they are ready to welcome their second child. Rather than opting for the usual route, their innovative gender reveal party has taken the internet by storm. The couple deviated from the norm and used a spectacular drone light show to unveil the eagerly awaited news of whether they will be blessed with a baby boy or girl.
The drone display was a surprise from Williams’ husband.
In a YouTube video, the 41-year-old tennis player, who is set to become a mother of 2 soon, showed moments of her “baby shower/gender reveal” party, including the big moment itself. However, there was a plot twist even she didn’t expect.
Williams thought the reveal would be made by cutting a cake, but her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, had a different idea. “This cake is as basic of a gender reveal idea as I could come up with. Inside it’s yellow,” Ohanian began explaining the surprise in the video. “I’m doing this because I want to troll her and Olympia [their daughter] into thinking this is the reveal of Jelly Bean.”
After cutting the cake, Serena looked stunned at her husband, who proceeded to introduce the real reveal. “Serena, you and Olympia deserve the best. That was a little bit of a prank, you caught me,” he admitted. “But we are actually going to reveal Jelly Bean’s sex. The way we’re going to do it though is with a little style and some spectacular lights.”
With some music and a bit of suspense in the mix, a drone display then revealed Williams and Ohanian are having a girl! The moment was extra special for Williams, who had been “team pink” all along, as she had previously confessed: “I’m a little nervous because I don’t have any contingency plan if it turns out to be a boy.”
Previously Serena never thought about having kids.
Back in May, the tennis champion made a delightful revelation — their family are ready to welcome the second baby. The announcement unfurled on Instagram, where a captivating carousel of snapshots featuring herself and Ohanian was shared. Among these, one frame captured Williams tenderly cradling her baby bump, while another showcased the duo standing together, radiant smiles adorning their faces.
Within the post, a caption playfully disclosed: “Was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us to the Met Gala.” Alongside this, a meticulously detailed inventory of ensembles, hairstyles, and cosmetics for the Met Gala was provided.
Before Serena became a mother, she candidly confessed that parenthood hadn’t crossed her mind, literally saying: “never thought about having kids”, during the initial foray into her career.
Becoming a mom is a thrilling feeling for every woman. Celebrities just get more attention and can share their happiness with fans. Like Rumer Wilis, welcoming her first child. Or Lindsay Lohan, who recently became the mom of a boy with a really expressive name. Needless to say, celebrities can easily jump on the Internet with their pregnancy announcements.
