?"Olympia does not know right now that I'm pregnant. So the big reveal will be at the Met and then before we leave I'll tell Olympia. The reason I haven't told her is because she can't keep a secret," she said in the clip.

Williams "evolved away from tennis" in 2022 after the US Open in September 2022.

"In the last year, Alexis and I have been trying to have another child," Williams wrote in an article for Vogue.

"And we recently got some information from my doctor that put my mind at ease and made me feel that whenever we're ready, we can add to our family.

"I definitely don't want to be pregnant again as an athlete. I need to be two feet into tennis or two feet out."?

Though the US Open was considered to be the beginning of her retirement from tennis?, she later clarified that there is potential for a comeback.

"I am not retired. The chances (of a return) are very high. You can come to my house, I have a court," Williams said during a conference to promote her investment company, Serena Ventures.
