Williams said, “When I come back to tennis, it’ll be better if I’ve kept as fit as possible all the way through the pregnancy rather than having to lose a lot of weight afterwards in order to get fit again.”

Williams got engaged to Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian, in December last year. She announced the pregnancy to the world in April this year.

She revealed the good news on Snapchat, indicating with the words “20 weeks”. According to the tennis champ, while eating healthily is a “must” for her, being healthy in general matters too.

“I don’t know why. If you would have told me last year in October or November that I would have a baby, not be pregnant but have a baby, I would have thought you were the biggest liar in the world,” Williams told Vanity Fair for the August 2017 issue, speaking about her pregnancy.
