Retired tennis superstar Serena Williams unveiled her latest project on the red carpet at the Met Gala in New York on Monday. She is pregnant with her second child.

"I was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us to the Met Gala," Williams said on Instagram just before she arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, decked out in a black and white gown, for fashion’s biggest night of the year.

In the photos, the 41-year-old tennis great is seen posing in a black and white gown with her husband Alexis Ohanian, the founder of Reddit, and cradling the baby bump. 

Williams and Ohanian are already parents to Olympia, born in September 2017. Last year, Williams, who won 23 singles Grand Slam titles and multiple Olympic gold medals throughout her long career made an emotional farewell to tennis at the US Open.

"I am ready to, like, be a mom, explore a different version of Serena," she said at the time.

Last year, in an essay for Elle magazine, Williams described the difficulties she experienced in giving birth to Olympia, eventually via emergency C-section, and how she suffered blood clots in her lungs shortly thereafter.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion wrote in an August essay for Vogue magazine, “I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I do not think it is fair. If I were a guy I would not be writing this because I would be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family.”

Williams shared the news of her second pregnancy alongside her husband Alexis Ohanian in an interview with Vogue live stream host La La Anthony. Williams, 41, also said in her Vogue essay that she wanted to focus more on her business interests. Their daughter, Olympia, is now 5.

Williams was not the only person to reveal a baby bump at the Met Gala; model Karlie Kloss also confirmed her second pregnancy at the event.
