The beautiful Serena Williams graces the new cover of Vanity Fair as she shows off her elegant glow and 6-month baby bump. As previously reported, the 35-year-old tennis phenom announced she was pregnant in April and the six-time Wimbledon champ also announced in December that she was engaged to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
The article talks about how their union came about and both of their drives to be great, An excerpt reads:
Alexis knew then he wanted to marry her, not simply out of happiness or compatibility. She was helping him become the best version of himself because of her own work ethic and focus, with millions watching and the expectation of the public that she should win every time, what Serena herself described as carrying “three pyramids” on her shoulder. He thought he worked hard—it is part of the romance of high tech that everyone works 18 hours a day and then curls up under the desk for a few hours’ sleep with their laptop as teddy bear and pacifier—but he realized it was nothing compared with Serena.
“I felt like a door had been opened to a person who made me want to be my best self. . . . I find myself just wanting to be better by simply being around her because of the standard she holds.”
Speaking with Vanity Fair about her engagement, she also revealed,“I knew it was coming. I was like, ‘Serena, you’re 35, you’re ready. This is what you want.’ ”
