In a recent candid video shared with her followers, tennis legend Serena Williams opened up about her personal struggle with her post-baby body and the challenges she faces when it comes to finding suitable clothing options. The video serves as a raw and honest depiction of the realities many women experience after giving birth.

Serena Williams is opening up about the realities of life after becoming a mother once again, having welcomed her second child with husband Alexis Ohanian in August of last year.

The 42-year-old tennis icon took to Instagram to share a candid video detailing her challenges with navigating postpartum fashion and adjusting to her changing physique.

In the video, Serena candidly discusses the difficulties of finding clothing that complements her body post-baby, and she shares her journey of embracing a new fitness routine.

Serena received an abundance of encouraging feedback from her well-known admirers, who commended her for her candidness regarding her evolving physique. Deborah Roberts expressed her gratitude, stating, “Serena, I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. You’ll get in that skirt.”

Another supporter remarked, “Well done on sharing the reality of postpartum… not just the glamorized Instagram version,” while a third chimed in with, “You don’t have a problem, you have a beautiful body. Women are spending money to get what you have. Seriously. I love your outlook on life.”

The Wimbledon champ has taken fans along on her fitness journey the past few months as she hits the gym with renewed fervor after welcoming her second daughter. She and Reddit co-founder Alexis are also the parents of daughter Olympia, now six.

In 2018, Serena discussed with the media before her Wimbledon comeback her efforts to regain her athletic physique following the birth of her daughter, Olympia. Despite adhering to a strict vegan diet, she admitted to struggling with weight loss.

“I followed a vegan diet and avoided sugar completely,” she explained. “I maintained a very healthy diet… However, I found that I wasn’t able to reach my pre-pregnancy weight due to breastfeeding.”
