The shared love between members of the Serena Williams family is actively followed by the fans. Be it the special Sundays with Alexis Ohanian or the adorable red carpet walks with the tennis legend, the followers have been actively following both Olympia and Adira. While a majority of the updates revolved around the 6-year-old, the time has finally come for the younger one to be a part of the highlights. As she is approaching her first birthday, both Serena and Alexis are abuzz on social media.

Every first thing about a kid is special for his/her parents. Be it the first step or the first word, the ones who give birth always tend to adore the moments and capture them as unforgettable memories. Serena Williams recently shared a series of posts on social media as she found herself lost in the memories of a time when she was mentally preparing herself to bring her second daughter Adira into this world. The 42-year-old shared pictures clicked during the same time last year as the whole family cherished moments of Serena’s maternity.

Along with pictures that featured both Alexis and Olympia embracing Serena, she also included a caption that gave out the real meaning behind the name Adira. “Adira is a girl’s name of Hebrew origin and means ‘mighty,’ ‘strong,’ and ‘majestic.’ The elegant name is popular in many cultures around the world. Adira is the feminine form of the classic name Adir. It is a Biblical name, meaning ‘Strong One,” she wrote.

The excitement isn’t just limited to Serena as Alexis also came forward to share her thoughts on the post. “She’s ONE! 😮 how did that happen so fast,” he wrote, seemingly surprised to lose track of time as he finds himself lost in dorable parenting adventures. This update came just a week before Adira’s official birthday, reminding fans of the moment when their favorite family welcomed their newest member.

However, this wasn’t the first time when Alexis Ohanian socially expressed his love for Olympia and Adira. Back when the world was celebrating Father’s Day, the renowned entrepreneur revealed a feeling that gives him more joy than fueling businesses. “Building companies is fun but @olympiaohanian @adiraohanian you two are the greatest things I’ll ever create and I’m so lucky to be your Papa,” he wrote as a caption on his tweet. Besides words and feelings, Alexis has also built a strong monetary legacy for his kids.
