“I was definitely born to be a mom” – Serena Williams expresses deep love for being mother to daughters Olympia & Adira in candid revelation

Serena Williams shared that while many may believe she was born to be a tennis player, she truly feels she was born to be a mother. She expressed her deep love for motherhood and the joy of raising her daughters, Olympia and Adira.

On his new show, ‘Dinner with Gavin Rossdale,’ the musician invited Williams for the first-ever episode. The tennis legend got candid on the show, making several revelations along the way. One of those was about her love for being a mother.

“I love being a mom,” Williams said to Rossdale. “I was definitely born to be a mom. If you thought I was born to be a tennis player, I was born to be a mom. I really believe in communicating in a loving way

Williams reflected on how her parenting style differs from that of her own parents. While she expressed appreciation for the way she was raised, she acknowledged that she does many things differently.

Looking back, however, she realized she had a similar moment when she wanted to play a math song for her daughter, Olympia, much like her own parents did when she was a child.

“When I was growing up, my dad always made us listen to songs in the car, sometimes we would listen to learning songs, whether they were math songs and then we always had to listen to French tapes. Looking back, I had this math song that I wanted to play for Olympia when she was younger. And I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m just like my dad,’” Williams admitted

Serena Williams married Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian in November 2017, just months after welcoming their first daughter, Olympia, in September. She continued her tennis career until the 2022 US Open before stepping away from the sport. In 2023, she gave birth to their second daughter, Adira, and has since focused on motherhood while managing multiple business ventures.

Serena Williams took to X in October last year to open up about her life post-retirement. She shared several glimpses of her “chasing” her youngest daughter Adira, 1, and teaching her eldest, Olympia, 7, tennis.

“My life is very different now. Instead of chasing balls, I’m chasing #Adira and helping #Olympia with tennis lessons and cooking. (And, all this is in-between Venture Capital calls),” Williams captioned the post.

Notably, the 23-time Grand Slam champion owns several businesses like WYN Beauty and Serena Ventures. Further, Williams also co-owns sports teams like Angel City FC and Los Angeles Golf Club with her husband Alexis Ohanian.

Michael Jackson was notoriously private about his health, even going so far as to keep doctors and physicians away from certain parts of his body.

However, after his death in June 2009, the extent of his cosmetic surgeries and hidden health struggles were revealed. As today marks the 16th anniversary of his death, we’ve taken a look at the unsettling details of his autopsy.

The King of Pop died at the age of 50 due to an overdose of the surgical anesthetic propofol at his Los Angeles mansion. It was later discovered that years of surgeries, prescription drugs and a suspected battle with anorexia had taken a toll on his body.

The singer weighed only 112.6lb at the time of his death. His autopsy report was chilling, revealing unexpected scars and unexplained wounds across his body.

It is believed that Jackson had puncture wounds all over his arms, likely from injecting drugs in a desperate attempt to combat his chronic insomnia.

His hips, thighs and shoulders also bore puncture wounds, presumably from painkiller injections. Visible traces of his numerous cosmetic surgeries were evident – with two surgical scars behind his ears and two more on either side of his nostrils.

Many of Jackson’s scars, found at the base of his neck and on his arms and wrists, were from various surgeries. Jackson also underwent eccentric cosmetic alterations including having his lips tattooed pink and black tattoos for his eyebrows, and even the front of his scalp to mimic a hairline.

The King of Pop also had unexplained bruises on his knees and shins and cuts on his back hinting at a recent fall prior to his death. His skin bore both light and dark patches, indicative of his struggle with vitiligo.

In a shocking revelation, it was discovered that Jackson’s wavy hair was actually a wig, glued over a largely bald, scarred scalp. A source shared with The Sun about Jackson’s final days, “He was skin and bone, his hair had fallen out, and he had been eating nothing but pills when he died.”

The source further detailed, “Injection marks all over his body and the disfigurement caused by years of plastic surgery show he’d been in terminal decline for some years.”
