Serena Williams is now a mother. The 35-year-old tennis star gave birth to a baby girl. According to WPBF, the baby was born at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida weighning 6 pounds, 13 ounces.
Williams and her fiancé, Alexis Ohanian, surprised her fans when she announced their engagement in April. While pregnant, Williams allegedly won the Austrialian Open.
Since giving birth on Labor Day weekend, social media users have found a bit of humor in the timing.
Serena Williams is in labor on Labor Day weekend because she’s Serena Williams. #SerenaWilliams
