Ohanian and Williams announced the birth of baby Adira in August. “Welcome, Adira River Ohanian,” he wrote on Instagram. “I’m grateful to report our house is teaming with love: a happy & healthy newborn girl and happy & healthy mama. Feeling grateful.”


@serenawilliams you’ve now given me another incomparable gift — you’re the GMOAT,” the tech entrepreneur continued in his sweet post. Thanks to all the amazing medical staff who took care of my wife & our daughter 🙏 I’ll never forget the moment I introduced @olympiaohanian to her baby sister.”


The whole family of four is allegedly doing great. The insider told Us Weekly, “Serena is at home happy and recovering. Everyone’s healthy and it’s going very well.”


The 23-time Grand Slam champion recently shared a video of baby Adira’s nursery, which is red with a crown above the crib. “I walked into @poppedoll @byselinabyfernando in the Netherlands and saw a baby bed that took my breath away,” Williams wrote on Instagram. “I wanted to see if I could get something just like it, but in my own colors of course. Not knowing the gender, I wanted to do a neutral color, but not grey or yellow or brown. I wanted a something different. Red. They only had 6 weeks to make it …. And they delivered! I literally had Adira the next day! Thanks for making my nursery room dream come true ❤️”


One thing’s for sure: Adira and Olympia are lucky little girls!

These celebrity fathers are all proud to be “girl dads.
