Serena Williams, renowned for her prowess on the tennis court, recently graced the red carpet of the ESPYs in Los Angeles alongside her husband, Alexis Ohanian, and their eldest daughter, Alexis Olympia. This marked a rare public appearance for Olympia, who captured hearts with her adorable presence at the Dolby Theater.
Williams, who hosted the prestigious awards show, exuded elegance in a black Giorgio Armani Privé gown complemented by David Yurman jewelry. Matching her mother’s glamour, Olympia dazzled in a silver drop-waist dress and coordinated sandals. Ohanian joined the duo sporting a classic black suit paired with vibrant blue Nike sneakers, adding a touch of modern flair to the occasion.
The last time Olympia graced a red carpet was over two years ago at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards luncheon in Beverly Hills. Since then, Williams has taken a step back from professional tennis to focus on her growing family. Reflecting on her motherhood journey in an interview, Williams expressed how her children, including newborn Adira born in August 2023, keep her energetically engaged throughout the day.
Olympia, born on September 1, 2017, captured global attention even before her birth when Williams competed in the 2017 Australian Open while pregnant. Since then, Olympia has grown into a mini-celebrity in her own right, often seen enjoying playful moments with her mother on social media. Despite Williams’ undeniable influence in tennis, she maintains a balanced approach, letting Olympia explore various interests including tennis, dolls like her favorite Qai Qai, and imaginative play as princesses.
Williams and Ohanian, embracing parenthood with enthusiasm, welcomed their second child with joyous anticipation. Sharing glimpses of their family milestones, including the pregnancy reveal at the 2023 Met Gala, they continue to cherish their roles as parents. Ohanian’s heartfelt tribute to Williams as the “GMOAT (Greatest Mother Of All Time)” underscores their deep bond and mutual admiration amidst the joys and challenges of raising two young daughters.
As Serena Williams continues to navigate the intricacies of motherhood alongside her enduring legacy in sports, Olympia’s rare red carpet appearance at the ESPYs serves as a heartwarming testament to their family’s enduring presence in the spotlight.
