Serena Williams is more than just a tennis legend—she’s a magnet for friendships and connections that extend well beyond the tennis courts. Over the years, she has charmed her fans not only with her incredible skills but also with heartwarming stories of the strong bonds she’s formed, both inside and outside the sports world. Recently, one of her close friends, Beyonce, decided to surprise her with an amazing gift that left Serena Williams absolutely in awe.

Both Williams and Beyoncé have not limited themselves to their respective fields. They have carved out places for themselves and invested in several sectors, including beauty and haircare. One such product from Beyoncé is Cecred, which boasts a wide range of products for healthy hair. When Williams received a gift from her friend, she couldn’t contain her excitement in a video.

Taking to her Instagram story, the star player shared a video in which a bottle of Cecred can be seen in front of her. Speaking in the video, the former player can be heard thanking her friend and admiring the product. “Okay ladies, you know I love my Cecred Restoring hair and edge drops and also definitely for guys too, right? So, first of all so cool so thanks Bee for sending this to me. I love my edges, I actually have my edges. So I am gonna definitely make sure I keep’em by using this,” Williams said. Continuing further, she reflected upon the changes that she witnessed by using the product. 

“Ok you guys know I am obsessed with this product. I got rid of so many stuff I had once I tried Cecred so I am super excited to try this.” Interestingly, this is not the first time when Serena Williams has flaunted a gift from Beyonce. In May this year, the 43-year-old took to her TikTok handle and showed off a huge case that had products from Beyonce’s Cecred haircare line. 

Expressing her surprise and amazement back then as well, Williams said, “Hey everyone, I am so excited. I just got VIP mailer from Beyonce’s new haircare line Cecred. Thanks for sending Bee, this is so amazing.” In the video, Williams also reflected that she had already bought the products and was really fascinated by the vibe of it.

Interestingly, it is not just Beyoncé who sends gifts to the tennis star. The friendship between the two has also motivated Williams to take special steps for Beyoncé, and one such surprise even included the former First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama.
