Serena Williams claims that after meeting Adira, the size of her heart doubled
Serena Williams agrees that two is always better than one.
On Thursday, Aug. 15, the retired tennis pro, 42, shared her admiration for her daughters Adira, 12 months, and Olympia, 6, whom she shares with husband Alexis Ohanian, as her youngest turned one.
The proud mom of two posted a few throwback snaps on Instagram of herself with Olympia from her maternity shoot before welcoming Adira.
The mother-daughter duo can be seen smiling in a bed of flowers wearing matching pink flowy dresses. «Olympia is always there for me,» Williams said in her caption.
«Before having a second child, I always wondered, ‘how could I love anything as much as I love?'»
She continued, «Then Adira came along … she is so special, so fun, so funny, so loving, so sweet and so strong!!! You see, God makes your heart get bigger.
Because my love for Olympia has not dimmed. My heart simply now is doubled the size and I have a greater capacity to love more!»
Earlier in the day, Williams shared a few more sweet pictures from her previous photoshoot in honor of her little one’s first year.
In her first celebratory post, the mother of two wrote, «A year ago today — August 15th — I gave birth to my second baby girl, Adira River Ohanian. She is a true light. Here’s a peek inside my maternity shoot.»
In her second post, Williams posed with daughter Olympia and husband Ohanian, with Olympia kissing her mom’s stomach. She also shared a photo of her side profile, putting her two hands on top of and below her bump.
