Serena Williams shows off baby bump in latest snap

Serena Williams farewell

Serena Williams has shown off her baby bump in a recent social media post.

She announced that she was pregnant with her second child at the Met Gala back in May.

Her first child, Olympia, was born in September 2017 with Williams returning to tennis some time afterwards.

Serena captioned the latest snap ‘Just a casual Bathroom selfie’ with her delight evident.

Also seen in the snap is her adorable little dog Chip.

Williams announced she would step away from professional tennis ahead of her farewell run at the US Open last year.

Williams’ transition away from playing tennis hasn’t been a cessation of labour for the 23-time Grand Slam winner who has been kept busy running her investment empire.

Those savvy investments could even see Serena Williams net more money post-retirement than she did in her career.

She founded Serena Ventures in 2017 as she sought to ‘write checks that empower change’.

To date 79% of the companies Serena Ventures have helped have founders from demographics that are under-represented among start-ups.

Williams has managed to attach herself to some highly successful projects in a short space of time, getting on board as an investor in Tonal before the company’s value skyrocketed.

During her playing career she earned more than $350 million from endorsements to greatly bolster her income.

She clocked up $94.52 million in prize money in a career that stands out from the crowd.

Her career prize money total is more than double that of any other player on the WTA Tour.

Williams won her last Grand Slam in 2017 while pregnant with her daughter.

She would play four more Grand Slam finals though, coming back to the sport only to lose the championship matches at 2018 and 2019 editions of both Wimbledon and the US Open.

Her 2017 Australian Open triumph came as she beat her sister Venus in a Major final for the eight time in ten meetings at that stage of Grand Slam.

As of April 2023, Serena Williams is estimated to have a net worth of $270 million.

Serena Williams has been very active in public life since hanging up her racket, turning out at Glitzy events with Husband, Alex Ohanian.

The couple recently announced that Serena is pregnant with their second child.

She still has some lingering regrets.

Asked by Gayle King on CBS Mornings how she felt the morning after waving goodbye, Williams replied: “That’s a really good question, no-one’s asked me that yet. I was actually not very happy at all, just because of the result.

“I was there to keep going and to keep winning, and it was more or less like, I can’t believe I let that match go more than anything…

“Obviously it was a great moment and a great memory and I don’t feel like I’ve left anything, but I just felt like what I could have done better that day.”
