Pregnant tennis superstar, Serena Williams, has posed naked on the cover of August edition of Vanity Fair magazine.
The expecting mother told the magazine that she hadn’t suspected pregnancy until she was sick at the side of the court while practising.
The 23-time Grand Slam winner had found out she was expecting her first child with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian just before the Australian Open in January.
But, according to her, her friend suspected she might be pregnant and suggested taking a test.
Serena ended up taking a test while doing a photo shoot for a lingerie company at an Australian hotel. She said her “heart literally dropped” when she saw the result.
“Oh my God, this can’t be – I’ve got to play a tournament,” she said. “How am I going to play the Australian Open? I had planned on winning Wimbledon this year.”
It was gathered that her friend Jessica was then sent back to the hotel chemist to buy five more test kits to convince Serena that she was pregnant. All of them were positive.
According to a BBC report, the article also reveals how Alexis and Serena started dating in 2015.
