Serena Williams declared her pregnancy earlier this month. This would be her second child with her husband Alexis Ohanian. The pregnancy news was broken when Serena Williams showed off her baby bump at the 2023 MET Gala appearance.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion is going to be a mother of two as she already has a 5-year-old daughter. Williams posted a photo of herself in a wonderful outfit. She was dressed in a beautiful white skirt and a chic crop top. However, the message that was added in a caption was deep and transcended her bodily beauty.
William expressed that she does not always feel totally confident about herself and clicking pictures while being pregnant adds to her insecurity. She wrote that it was not easy for her and how even some really close people will try to hinder her joy. She wrote,” Being confident is not always easy. Not even for me! Especially taking pics and being pregnant!” she said in her latest post on Instagram. Sometimes people close to you will try to take your joy,”.
Williams also added that it was important to always ‘remember who you are.’ She encouraged that people should not be afraid to shine. This post sends a wonderful message about positivity, especially to new mothers who are insecure about the changes in their bodies. Everyone should feel confident in their own skin and people should encourage each other to do so.
