Serena Williams is a true personality, and her fans couldn’t help but praise her for a new video she shared on social media. The 42-year-old mother of two appeared in a recent Instagram video in which she struggled to fit into her tight denim maxi skirt during her postpartum journey. Filming herself trying to pull the skirt over her hips in front of the mirror, Serena explained that she was «almost there».
«Alright, everyone, I’ve been working on myself!» the former tennis player captioned the post. «Let's see what happens with my denim skirt. Will I fit into it? Watch!»
In response to her video, several celebrities and fans commended Serena for her openness. Actress Octavia Spencer commented, «Thank you for doing this and showing that this is the postpartum process for world-class athletes. You are even more amazing and real!»
JoJo also joined in, writing, «Re-lax!!! You got this, beauty».
Other fans also applauded Serena for giving everyone a realistic look at her postpartum journey.
«I'm crying. I love that she showed us this», - one fan commented, while another wrote, «Thank you for showing us this, because the struggle for 'mom bod'… 'not mom bod' is so hard. People just don’t understand. Thank you for being vulnerable for us, moms who are still fighting to get back [sic]».
Serena welcomed her second child, daughter Adira, in August 2023 with her husband, Alexis Ohanian. They are also raising their daughter Olympia together.
After Adira’s birth, Serena shared her thoughts on postpartum body changes. In February, she posted a photo on Instagram of herself in a bikini, holding her baby on a boat. In her caption, the athlete opened up about how she is dealing with physical «changes» after childbirth.
«Loving yourself is important», - she began in her caption. «I understand that I need to remind myself of this self-love at all stages of my life. Right now, I love that my body is not perfect. I love that I smell like milk — that milk supports @adiraohanian. I like getting to know a new version of my body. It’s a change, but it’s a change worth it. So start this week knowing that you are loved, and it starts with you. Okay, I’m going to the gym»
