In a video diary posted to YouTube by the tennis star, Williams and Ohanian sit daughter Olympia down on the couch to share the big news.

The couple kept the news a secret from their daughter until a day before they also told the rest of the world while walking the Met Gala red carpet together.

"So the big reveal will be at the Met and then before we leave I'll tell Olympia," Williams explains in the clip.

"The reason I haven't told her is because she can't keep a secret."?

Olympia's over the top reaction certainly backs the mum's claim as she shouts her excitement once she ?finds out.

"You know how you've been praying for a little sister or brother??" Williams ask the five-year old.

"Well we went to the doctor and turns out I'm not getting fat, but I have a baby in my belly."

In that moment, Olympia's face lights up and she looks down at her mum's belly.

She yells as she gets up and starts to run around the room, so thrilled that she trips and falls but gets right back up.

"You've got a lot of work to do. You've got a lot of work getting ready to be a big sister," Ohanian says as he tries to get his daughter's attention again though she is too distracted by the announcement.

"You've still got to help us keep it a secret for one more day, OK?" he warns as the couple were hoping to ensure their pregnancy would be kept under wraps until they stepped out onto the Met Gala red carpet.
