It seems like just yesterday Serena Williams welcomed her first daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., into the world. But time flies when you’re a tennis legend and a busy mom! Serena recently shared a series of photos on Instagram featuring her now 7-year-old daughter, and fans are absolutely stunned by how much Olympia has grown.
A Heartwarming Instagram Post
On October 31st, Serena posted a carousel of pictures that captured Olympia’s personality. The first few shots showed the adorable 7-year-old making a funny face at her famous mom. Deeper in the post, Serena included some precious throwback photos, reminding everyone of Olympia’s tiny beginnings – including one where she could fit inside an airport security tray!
The post was more than just cute pictures; it was a touching message from mother to daughter. Serena wrote, “Dear Daughter, I hope you can always hear my voice, saying, ‘You’ve got this’ when the world feels too loud. Love, Mom.” She also reflected on how quickly time has passed since Olympia’s birth in 2017, humorously noting, “At first they are sweet, then they get sweeter… Or something like that.”
Fans React to Olympia’s Growth
The comments section of Serena’s post quickly filled with fans expressing their amazement. Phrases like “We blinked and she grew up” and “Wow, look at how grown she is now!! So beautiful” were common. Many echoed the sentiment, remarking on how fast children grow up.
A Mother’s Perspective
Serena, who shares Olympia and younger daughter Adira River Ohanian (born in August 2023) with husband Alexis Ohanian, has often spoken about the profound impact motherhood has had on her life. She’s shared how her daughters bring immense joy and have even shifted her perspective on beauty.
In a 2024 interview, she chuckled about how volunteering at her kid’s school felt more rewarding than winning a Wimbledon trophy. She hopes her daughters see her diverse passions and learn they can pursue dynamic careers and lives across various interests. It’s clear that for Serena, her greatest role is being a mom.
