The 2023 Met Gala turned out to be something special. For tennis fans, all the pre-event noise was mostly about Roger Federer. After all, the Swiss Maestro was one of the high-profile co-chairs. However, it was Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian who stole the show mere moments before they turned up for the event. The power couple announced that a second child is on the way.
Williams’ baby bump was quite apparent at the Met Gala. Ohanian too, had his way of showing the world that he’s a proud father already and about to be a father to another child soon.

One of the images showed Ohanian adjusting his cufflink ahead of his Met Gala appearance. If you look closely, you’ll see a cute ‘PAPA’ bracelet as well. There’s every chance that Ohanian and Williams’ 5-year-old daughter Olympia made it for him. Irrespective of where Ohanian got the bracelet from, it’s fair to say that it made for a pretty unique way of telling the world that he’s going to be a father (again) soon.
Ohanian’s post came on the back of their mega-announcement earlier during the day, which Ohanian made from his Twitter handle. According to Ohanian’s tweet, Olympia has “been asking & praying” for a sibling. Finally, Olympia found the answer to her prayers.

What kind of big sister is Olympia going to be?
Only time will tell how Olympia is going to be as a big sister to her younger sibling. After all, for a single child, it can be difficult sometimes to adjust to a new reality. It gets especially difficult if the new reality involves parents devoting more time to a younger child.
