Baby on board! Serena Williams and husband Alexis Ohanian are gearing up to be proud parents of two — and they could not be more excited. “Serena and Alexis love being parents and can’t wait to have another,” a source exclusively says of the pair in the newest edition of Us Weekly, noting that the tennis legend, 41, and the entrepreneur, 40, know the sex of their baby but “are waiting to reveal.” The twosome, who tied the knot in November 2017, already share 5-year-old daughter Olympia — and know that growing their brood is going to come with a lot of changes. “They’re slowly getting prepared and setting up the nursery, figuring out how it’s all going to work as far as their schedules,” a second insider says, adding: “They’re just on cloud nine right now.” Williams revealed her second pregnancy by showing off her baby bump on the 2023 Met Gala red carpet in May. “Was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us to the Met Gala,” the athlete captioned photos of the pair’s Gucci looks via Instagram that same day.
