Are children a mother’s first priority? For former WTA number one Serena Williams, the answer is an absolute yes. Balancing her roles as a trailblazing entrepreneur and doting mother, this Olympic gold-medalist star consistently makes time for her daughters, Olympia and Adira. Whether volunteering at her elder daughter’s ballet recital or taking her on fun trips to Disneyland, Serena Williams and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, prioritize their children’s happiness and well-being.
Since Williams’ second daughter Adira’s arrival last year, she has joined her big sister in sharing heartwarming family moments. While Olympia Ohanian, a budding seven-year-old golf prodigy, is often seen with her father, the little girl cherishes quality time with her legendary mother too. A recent quiet bonding moment between Serena Williams and Olympia warmed the hearts of the fraternity, including the Reddit co-founder, highlighting that their daughters are at the center of their world.
The former WTA legend dropped a reel on her IG platform where she was spotted enjoying a swing on their lawn with Olympia. As the mother-daughter duo enjoyed the swing together, it revealed their close bond. Sharing the reel, Williams captioned it, “Just another day around the way…. Feeling good today @olympiaohanian.”

This former WTA number one tweeted on X that motherhood has changed her. Instead of chasing tennis balls, she was happily running after her second daughter. “My life is very different now. Instead of chasing balls, I’m chasing #Adira and helping #Olympia with tennis lessons and cooking. (And, all this is in-between Venture Capital calls),” said the legend. Her statement expressed her happiness about her life’s second phase. Williams also revealed her obsession with her children in an adorable revelation. “They’re like my biggest love, so I’m obsessed with those kids,” she said. Her words highlighted that even post-retirement her life is as colorful and hectic as it was before. However, like tennis, she enjoys this phase wholeheartedly.
However, at times, Williams gets candid about her struggles too. Reflecting on how she balances her job and her motherhood, this Olympic gold-medalist player once wrote, “My Monday-I was so tired & this was the best I could do. Some days your best may not look as pretty as other days, but running an active beauty brand (@wyn) running after 2 girls, and a VC company (@serena.ventures) lets just say I was exhausted and quite delirious. How was your Monday?” Multitasking might be hard at times but Williams does enjoy this role inspiring working mother.
