Unlike Sister Serena, 42-Year-Old Venus Williams Once Made Her Intentions Clear About Starting a Family – ‘I’m Not Desperate’

Venus Williams is not ready to settle down and make family a priority like her sister, Serena Williams. In an interview with Cosmo in 2021, Venus Williams made it clear that she is not “desperate” to start a family anytime soon.

It looks like we are due for more inspirational ventures from Venus, both in the business world and on court, before she takes off into another dimension.

Venus Williams is content with her life

In this exclusive interview with Sylvia Obell, Venus explored why and how she was completely content with her life. The 7-time Grand Slam champion said, “I know every single person asking me a question can’t play as well as I can and never will, no matter what you say or what you write, you’ll never light a candle to me.”

Venus finds it funny that some of her friends are so invested in the idea that she is not happy with her life. That she is missing her shot at fulfilling family life. To them, she says, “Please, relax. You might feel this way, but I don’t. I promise you I don’t.”

Venus Williams has gone so far as to claim herself “undateable”. While she does not have any kids, she is the proud mom to Harold Reginald Williams- her fourteen-year-old Havanese dog. Venus is rooted in her stance of not planning a family anytime soon. She is unfazed by societal and peer pressure and that has definitely made young, ambitious women idolize her even more.

The two Williams sisters couldn’t be more different

Venus’ confidence is much like her sister Serena’s. The two sisters have been simultaneously successful on and off the court. However, the paths they choose couldn’t be more different. While Venus is the blueprint for countless spinsters, Serena has always prioritized family. The unapologetic Venus has gone on to have two degrees, three business ventures, and a successful tennis career. Serena, on the other hand has remained fully committed to both her career and family. She said, “I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and family. I don’t think it’s fair.”

Based on the lives of the two Williams sisters, it is safe to say that there is no one formula for success.
