Serena Williams recently shared words of wisdom as she opened up about struggling with her body image during pregnancy.
Williams, who is the mother to five-year-old daughter Olympia, announced that she is pregnant with her second child with husband Alexis Ohanian earlier this month. The 23-time Grand Slam champion made the big revelation by showing off her baby bump during her 2023 MET Gala appearance, where she dazzled in a Gucci look.
Serena Williams recently took to social media to make a confession. She revealed that she doesn’t always feel confident about herself, more so when clicking pictures while being pregnant.
“Being confident is not always easy. Not even for me! Especially taking pics and being pregnant!” she said in her latest post on Instagram.
The 41-year-old also remarked that sometimes, it is the close ones that are responsible for low self-confidence.
“Sometimes people close to you will try to take your joy,” Williams said.
Serena Williams, however, stated that one should never be “afraid” to shine regardless.
“But it’s important to remember who you are and never be afraid to shine. #wordsofwisdom,” the American noted.
