Serena Williams, one of the greatest tennis players of all time, has always been open about her love for her family and the importance they hold in her life. As a mother to her daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., lovingly called Olympia, and with another child on the way, Serena has shared that her children are not only her pride and joy but also her best friends.

She recently shared a post on social media calling her children her best friends. Not just that, her actual best friends also react to her post, but not in a way that she expected them to.

The bond between a parent and child is often described as one of the most profound and enduring relationships a person can experience. For Serena, this bond transcends the traditional parent-child dynamic and enters the realm of friendship.

She recently shared a post on Instagram where she posted a photo of her hand and Olympia’s hand intertwined. The photo also includes her unborn child’s picture (her belly) too. And the best part about the wholesome post is its caption. It says, “Hand in hand with my best friend @olympiaohanian and my belly (…..and here comes the hate from my other besties lol)”.

This clearly shows the bond she shares with her daughter and, of course, the second baby on the way. Not just that, she also calls out her BFFs as she expects them to react to the post. But to her surprise, her best friend Caroline Wozniacki left nothing but love emojis on the post. Even Venus Williams reacted to the post with a sarcastic ‘Yeah!’ comment, indicating that she is definitely not happy about not being included in the ‘best friend list’ (of course in a fun way). Even Alexis Ohanian, Serena’s husband, also reacted to the post with an ‘aww’ emoji.

Apart from her besties outside of the family, her fans also took to the comments to show their love.

Many fans came forward to extend love to Serena’s post. One of the Instagram users commented, “I use to tell my daughter I was her Mother, not her best friend but when she left for college the reality was that she was my BF. Now she is 23 and one of my BFFs”. Another one shared a fun comment about how teenage Olympia would not be as friendly. It said, “I mean…you do spend more time with them so I guess it’s ok…but your other besties are screen-grabbing this post to use when the minis become teenagers & turn on you”
