Tennis icon Serena Williams took to social media on Christmas Day to share a delightful and heartwarming glimpse into her family’s holiday festivities. In an adorable video, the 23-time grand slam champion showcased her hands-on parenting as she engaged in a festive workout session with her daughters, six-year-old Olympia Ohanian and four-month-old Adira River.
Williams, 42, who shares both daughters with her husband Alexis Ohanian, posted the endearing video on Instagram. The footage captures Olympia, donned in a ruffled red dress, actively participating in guiding her baby sister Adira through a workout routine. The tennis legend, speaking in French, instructs Olympia with gentle words like “Doucement, doucement… comme ça” (meaning “gently, gently … like that”), emphasizing the importance of careful and tender movements, reminiscent of baby sit-ups.
The sweet interaction between the sisters is evident in the video, portraying a heartening family moment where fitness and bonding go hand in hand. Serena Williams humorously captioned the post with, “We all work out in this family. @adiraohanian @olympiaohanian.”
This charming revelation comes just a month after Williams shared insights into Olympia’s role as the elder sister during an interview at the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards. Williams expressed how Olympia affectionately refers to baby Adira as her “little sis,” highlighting the genuine sibling connection they’ve developed.
Reflecting on her feelings before Adira’s arrival, Williams admitted to initial concerns about whether she could love another child as much as Olympia. However, the tennis champion shared that everything fell into place, and the family is now celebrating the joys of having Adira join their ranks.
In addition to providing a heartening look into their Christmas celebration, the video adds another layer to Serena Williams’ journey as a mother, showcasing the importance of family bonds and shared moments of joy. As fans continue to admire Williams for her athletic prowess, her candid sharing of personal moments further endears her to audiences worldwide, making her not only a tennis legend but also a relatable and loving parent.
