Serena Williams is savoring all of the “sweet moments” with her family.
The tennis star, 44, recently shared some adorable pictures of her family of four on Instagram, posing together after her sister Venus Williams‘ wedding. In the snaps, Serena and her husband Alexis Ohanian, 42, were all smiles as they took a picture with their two daughters, Adira, 2, and Olympia, 8, who matched in light blue dresses.
“Joy does not always roar sometimes it whispers. It important to savor those sweet moments… I love this picture so I wanted to share it with you. 🫶🏿.”

The couple welcomed their first daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., who goes by Olympia, in September 2017. They expanded their family five years later when Williams gave birth to their younger daughter, Adira River Ohanian, in August 2023.
In an April 2024 interview with Byrdie, the doting mom, who stepped away from tennis in September 2022, was asked what brings her the most happiness in life, and she answered “my kids,” admitting, “I can’t say that a Wimbledon trophy holds a candle to volunteering at my kid’s school.”
“I also hope my daughters see how many different passions I have — from tennis to beauty — and learn that they can lead dynamic careers and lives across their many interests,” she said.
Serena is soaking in every moment with her kiddos. Last April, the Wyn Beauty founder shared a sweet video on her Instagram with her daughter Adira, as the little one practiced identifying colors. Serena could be seen in the video speaking fluent French to her daughter and guiding her on which color to try next.
As soon as Adira correctly identified the color, she prompted her to do her signature “Serena, Come On!” tennis cheer. The toddler adorably followed, holding and shaking her little fist.
“Teaching @adiraohanian the ‘Serena, Come On.’ What do you think? #Momlife #tennis,” the mom of two wrote in the caption.

Then, in November, Serena shared a sweet photo of herself snuggled up in bed with her daughters, Olympia and Adira — or as she termed them, “Momma’s cuddle buddies.” She posted the adorable photo to her Instagram on Nov. 28, showing the trio — and three stuffy friends — piled into the same bed.
Olympia wore a white shirt with rainbow hearts and the empowering message, “The Future Is Bright,” while holding a brown stuffed animal. Adira in white jammies with a striped collar, cuddled with a blue dragon with rainbow scales, and a big brown Squishmellow. They all piled in bed with Mom — also in comfy striped jammies, and a protective leopard-print silk bonnet — for a cuddle.
The trio snuggled up to watch two other cute sisters — Bluey and her little sibling, Bingo — on a tablet propped up in bed in what appeared to be a hotel room.
