Serena Williams is getting candid about being a mom!
The tennis legend, 42, shared a light-hearted TikTok clip of her real-life parenting world Wednesday that opened with her posed in the black sequin gown with puff sleeves she wore to the recent 2023 CFDA Awards.
In a relatable moment for parents everywhere, the camera then switched to an image of her pumping breast milk and letting out a deep sigh.
“What my life is really like… It’s not as glamorous as you think,” the mother-of-two wrote in her caption.
Earlier this month, Williams — who shares daughters Olympia, 6, and three-month-old Adira with tech entrepreneur husband, Alexis Ohanian — revealed that Olympia is successfully “navigating” being an older sister to Adira.
“She loves it,” Williams told Entertainment Tonight at the CFDA Awards. “Adira’s like a tiny little 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢, so Olympia just calls her her little sis.”
Per the outlet, Williams explained that Olympia “prayed for a sister” but revealed she herself was a little “worried” ahead of Adira’s arrival.
“I was like, ‘OK, I don’t know if I can like anyone as much as I love Olympia,'” Williams said. “I was really nervous about that. But I feel like it all worked out.”
In spite of Williams sharing her truth of parenthood, the star turned into the primary competitor to win the style symbol honor from the Gathering of Design Architects of America at the CFDA Grants, continuing in the strides of Beyoncé, Naomi Campbell, Rihanna and Zendaya.
“Since I was a young lady, I’ve involved style as an outlet to communicate my thoughts,” Williams told the CFDA in front of the service while wearing the rich dark dress planned by CFDA Director Thom Browne. “Design gave me the certainty to step on the court and own what my identity was, and where I realized I was going,”
