Later, Kelly Bush Novak, a spokeswoman for Williams, confirmed the news in an email to ESPN and other media saying, "I'm happy to confirm Serena is expecting a baby this fall."

Winning the Australian Open in January while she was pregnant, fans all over the world are in awe of her success. This was her 23rd Grand Slam title, just one less than the record holder, Margaret Court.

Williams got engaged to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian last December, first revealing this news on the Reddit website itself.
