Their doctor gave them information that put the 41-year-old's "mind at ease."
The businesswoman said on a panel in 2022 that her daughter is her buddy and likes everything she does except tennis. She said a few months earlier that her kid was getting tennis lessons because she did not have the patience to teach a beginner. Olympia prefers playing piano and "princes games."

In 2022, Serena Williams and Alexis Sr. began trying for another baby. Their doctor gave them information that put the 41-year-old's "mind at ease" so they could expand their family when ready.
The mom of one mused that maybe she would have been more of a Tom Brady, the dad of 4 refused to retire for years, if she "had that opportunity." She was pregnant in 2017 when she won the Australian Open, but the sportswoman wrote that she wouldn't want to be pregnant as an athlete again.
