Serena Williams is expecting her second child, the ostensibly retired tennis star announced Monday on Instagram.
Ahead of her attendance at the Met Gala in New York, Williams posted a photo of herself and husband Alexis Ohanian, with the caption, “Was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us to the Met Gala.”
The couple have a 5-year-old daughter, Olympia.
Williams, 41, announced last that planned to step away from tennis in an effort to grow her family.
Following her loss in the third round of the 2022 U.S. Open, Williams thanked the fans for “the most incredible ride and journey I’ve ever been on,” though she never officially closed the door on a potential return to the court.
Williams owns 23 career Grand Slam singles titles, the second-highest total in history, trailing only the 24 of Australia’s Margaret Court.
The appearance at the Met Gala fits with one of Williams’ other passions, fashion, as she has her own fashion line.
