The clip starts off with Ohanian sitting at a table on his computer. Williams, wearing a Barbiecore pink shirt and skirt, walks up to him and puts her hand on his shoulder before sitting next to him. He leans in to give his wife a kiss, and then Olympia bounds up to sit next to her mama. She’s wearing a pink dress and leans in for a big hug. The happy family is just chilling before Williams puts up a finger like she forgot something and walks off camera. A moment later, she comes back holding a newborn baby!


The baby is wrapped up in a blanket in Williams’ arms, as she sits back down. Olympia leans forward to hug her baby sister, and our hearts are melted. It’s so sweet! At the end, she shared a few Polaroids of the family of four, with Olympia beaming. She is already a proud big sis!


“Congratulations on the birth of your bundle of joy. beautiful family,” one person commented.


Another wrote, “Awwww the family is so beautiful! Congratulations! I love little Olympia’s posing! 💖”
