Fans On The Edge Of Their Seats As Serena Williams Teases Gender Reveal
The excited soon-to-be parents are probably already privy to the gender of their unborn baby. They seem to be intentionally building anticipation by waiting for the ideal moment to reveal the news to the public, intending to create a sense of surprise around the announcement.
In a video posted to TikTok, the "Sorry" video vixen showcased her editing skills, crafting beautiful creations in the sky, including unicorns and rainbows that added a magical touch.
The clip, set to the popular Bridgertons tune "The Theme System," saw a wand touch an envelope, and from within, the words "It's A…" appeared in pink and blue colors. In the caption, the 41-year-old wrote:
"Stay tuned tomorrow on YouTube for the gender reveal! What do you think I'm having? Drop ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #fyp #foryou #genderreveal #comingsoon #baby #love #viraltiktok #guess."
Hints and speculations began to fly in the comments, and it was obvious that everyone had their guess. Some were rooting for a girl like this person who wrote, "I think you're going to have a girl ❤️❤️," while another thought otherwise, "Nice 🤩 I'm thinking a son 🕺."
Meanwhile, one netizen was convinced that it would be "Twins, and you're not saying 😉😉😉," and there was even a mention of a "warrior princess." This cybernaut humorously stated, "Well, after all that unicorn, it's another girl 😭."
In May, Williams surprised everyone when she shared photos from the 2023 M.E.T. Gala featuring herself, her beau, and her baby bump. The "My Wife and Kids" guest star stunned in her Gucci gown, which consisted of a jacket and a tulle train, while Ohanian opted for a classic tuxedo.
The final slide revealed her already prominent belly as she added a touch of excitement to the caption, "Was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us to the Met Gala."
Although her fans and loved ones flooded the comments section with love and congratulatory messages, some were taken aback by her unique and unexpected way of announcing the joyful news.

In June, the couple took a much-needed break by embarking on an intimate "babymoon" getaway. The lovebirds decided to make the most of some quality alone time, creating cherished memories just before their family expands with their baby's imminent arrival.
Taking to her Instagram, the "7 Days in Hell" star uploaded a picture of the pair standing in a hallway.
In the snap, Williams looked beautiful in a lilac long-sleeved dress from her fashion line. The outfit clung to her baby bump and accentuated her curves as she posed makeup-free, with braids and simple pink uggs, alongside her partner.
Meanwhile, the entrepreneur opted for a casual look, pairing a black shirt with jeans and adding a wristwatch as an accessory. In the post, the "Drop Dead Diva" guest star kept the caption straightforward: "A night out in Bologna with some comfortable shoes and @alexisohanian @serena #babymoon #2023."
In the comments, netizens expressed their excitement for the pair, with one person gushing, "LOVE!!!! ❤️❤️🔥🔥," while another complimented her radiant look, writing, "You look beautiful as usual! It's the glow for me!! Happy Father's Day to your husband!"
