#PaternityLeave,” the Reddit founder captioned a sweet new picture on Instagram. In the photo, Ohanian is sitting on the couch with daughter Olympia, 6, by his side. Newborn Adira is wearing a banana-print outfit (specifically, this adorable “Bananas” print from the celeb-loved brand Little Sleepies) and wrapped in a blanket. Her dark brown hair is resting on her dad’s shoulder, and you can just see her tiny hand curled in a fist. She is beyond adorable — and we wish we could soak up all those precious baby snuggles!

The retired tennis champion and Ohanian welcomed baby Adira in Aug. 2023. “Welcome, Adira River Ohanian,” Ohanian 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.”


Olympia seems so happy to be a big sister. Her parents shared a photo of her holding her baby sister, and Olympia has the biggest smile on her face while holding the sleeping newborn.


Last month, Williams shared a relatable update on motherhood. “My new fragrance is ‘old spoiled milk’. #momlife” she tweeted. Ah, yes, we remember those days!


The first few months with a new baby are a whirlwind of milk, cat naps, and snuggles, and it seems like Ohanian and Williams are enjoying every minute.
