Serena Williams is expanding her family! While attending the Met Gala on May 1, the 41-year-old former tennis pro revealed she and husband Alexis Ohanian are expecting their second child. “I’m feeling good now. I can breathe,” Williams said of finally sharing the news during her interview with La La Anthony for Vogue’s live stream. “I can stop hiding.”

Williams and Ohanian tied the knot in November 2017, and the couple are already parents to 5-year-old daughter Olympia, who was born in September 2017.

Previously speaking to Allure (via People), Williams shared the relationship advice that Oprah Winfrey gave her that helped her in her relationship with the Reddit co-founder. “Oprah said, ‘Never let anyone dim your light.’ That really stuck with me. Alexis doesn’t dim my light,” she told the publication. “He doesn’t try to dim my light. He puts me in the light, even if I don’t want to be. He pushes me to further points I never thought about.”

Prior to finding love with Ohanian, Williams had her fair share of star-studded romances. Williams dated a few rappers and was even linked to one of her coaches. Get all the details of her dating history ahead.
