Serena Williams Says She Doesn’t Know What To Do With a Baby | Find Out Why

Tennis star Serena Williams stripped down for Vanity Fair  for a very risque shoot. The 35-year-old pregnant star was photographed by longtime collaborator Annie Leibovitz, who first shot Williams, alongside her sister Venus, when she was 16 years old.  Alongside the shoot Williams gave a telling interview with contributing editor Buzz Bissinger.

“I’ll take it just because (a) to prove you wrong and (b) because it’s fun, whatever. It’s like a joke. Why not?’After taking the test, she forgot about it, thinking it impossible that it could be positive”

 ” My first thought was like, ‘Oh my God, this can’t be—I’ve got to play a tournament. How am I going to play the Australian Open? I had planned on winning Wimbledon (her third straight) this year.”

To further convince her of the reality, Jessica purchased five more test kits; all proved positive. After discovering she was pregnant, Williams called Ohanian, her fiance, and, without providing a reason, told him to fly to Melbourne earlier than previously planned. Ohanian, thinking it was likely health-related, immediately got a flight out of San Francisco. When Williams saw him, she wordlessly handed him a paper bag containing the six positive pregnant tests; Ohanian was as shocked as she had been.

Now, a little more than six months pregnant, she is facing the reality that she is indeed having a baby with her soon-to-be husband.

“It just doesn’t seem real. I don’t know why. Am I having a baby? I don’t know what to do with a baby. I have nothing … I’ve done absolutely nothing for the baby room,” Williams tells Bissinger.

Meanwhile, Bissinger writes that Ohanian is ‘earnestly preparing and already has a tip jar he puts money into whenever he uses profanity so he won’t utter it around the baby.’

The couple first met at the Cavalieri Hotel in Rome in May 2015 where, after Ohanian sat at the table beside hers, Williams pretended to know about Reddit, and he withheld the fact that he had ‘never watched a tennis match on television or in real life’.He’s looking forward to the marriage; Williams, on the other hand, tells Bissinger (with tongue in cheek).

“I’m trying to enjoy the little freedom I have left.”

Their first date saw the ultra-romantic pair roam the streets of Paris for six hours while Williams was in town for the French Open. Ohanian proposed to Williams in December 2016 at virtually the same spot where he had first met her. He had asked her to fly to Italy under the guise of a spontaneous trip,

 “I knew it was coming. I was like, Serena, you’re 35, you’re ready. This is what you want.”‘

Ohanian says he knew he wanted to marry Williams because she was helping him become the best version of himself:

“I felt like a door had been opened to a person who made me want to be my best self,’ he says. I find myself just wanting to be better by simply being around her because of the standard she holds.
