Is Serena Williams setting the stage for Adira to follow in her legendary tennis footsteps?

What can be more precious than a mother-daughter bonding moment? Probably, nothing! Former WTA number one Serena Williams offered a glimpse of her recent moments with her daughter Adira which was enough to make people fall in love with motherhood. Now, it has been only a few months since fans started receiving glimpses of Williams’ adorable baby girl. Williams not only surprised her followers with the reel but received a cheeky response from her husband. Wanna know what was it?

Williams’ second daughter, Adira River Ohanian, is one year old. Her talented parents have already introduced her to social media. Adira’s IG profile, handled by her parents, showcases the toddler’s adorable moments, giving a peek into the Williams-Ohanian household. Williams recently shared a video where her baby girl became a mini-helper for her mother, and that too on a tennis court.

On Monday, the 43-year-old former WTA star shared a reel on her IG profile where she enjoyed some moments with her 14-month-old daughter. Williams was instructing her baby girl to drop the tennis balls in a basket full of balls she was carrying while her daughter picked up the balls from the court. “Hey Adira, put it in here!” she told Adira. However, at one point, Adira was seen running away from her mother and throwing a ball against a fence. “She was just doing it, man. We turned on the camera, she don’t want to do it,” said the 23 Grand Slam winner echoing the frustrations of any mother. Sharing the video, Williams captioned it, “When’s too early? @adiraohanian.” Williams’ husband and Adira’s father Alexis Ohanian also commented on the video adding his humorous touch. “She better be doing her drills…” commented the Reddit co-founder.

On the other hand, baby Adira’s induction to the tennis court delighted the fraternity. People loved how Adira’s mother Serena Williams decided to give her daughter a glimpse of her passion. In fact, Ohanian’s comment also highlighted the family’s interest in inspiring their second child towards athleticism. On the other side, Adira’s big sister Olympia has a natural knack for sports.  She was more interested in golf, but she occasionally enjoyed chess and soccer with her father. Ohanian delved deeper into it and revealed Olympia’s tennis skills with a cute confession.

Alexis Ohanian reveals an interesting thing about Olympia that makes her mother jealous

In 2022, Ohanian revealed an interesting fact about their household in an interview. Highlighting his equation with Olympia through soccer, the Reddit co-founder mentioned how it makes his wife jealous.  “I would love for her to be a professional athlete. Serena admits that when she sees Olympia running around with a soccer ball, having a great time playing with me, she gets a little jealous. But don’t worry, Olympia is really great with a racket, too,” he said. However, Olympia’s father thinks she won’t play any sport unless there is equality for female athletes in terms of money and other privileges. Given Olympia is just seven, we have plenty of time to see what she chooses to do in the future.
