Serena Williams’ daughter Olympia loves being a big sister! In a TikTok video uploaded by the tennis star, the six-year-old can be seen showering love on her little sister, Adira River.
“Olympia wants nothing more than to be a big sister. She always pinches Adira’s cheeks,” Serena captioned the heartwarming moment.
At the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York on November 6, Williams opened up about how Olympia is adjusting to being a big sister. “She’s taking charge,” the 42-year-old tennis icon told Entertainment Tonight. “She loves it,” the tennis pro told Entertainment Tonight. “Adira is like a little baby, So Olympia just calls her little sister. “
Williams, who shares the joy of motherhood with husband Alexis Ohanian, revealed that Olympia fervently “prayed for her sister.” “She’s delighted with how everything is going.”
Before Adira’s arrival in August, Williams admitted, “I was worried. I was like, ‘Well, I don’t know if I can like anyone as much as I love Olympia.’ “I was very nervous about it. But I feel like it all worked out.”
The CFDA Fashion Awards gave Serena Williams a well-deserved “mom’s night out.” The mother-of-two graced the event in a stunning black sequined dress designed by CFDA Chairman Thom Browne, paired with exquisite David Yurman jewelry.
Serena Williams added even more glamor to the evening as she was honored with the prestigious Fashion Icon Award at the ceremony. Reflecting on her lifelong relationship with fashion, Williams shared with CFDA: “Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve used fashion as an outlet to express myself—it gave me the confidence to go out on the court and own who I am, and who I am. Know where I’m going.”
