AceShowbiz - Venus Williams is a very excited aunt-to-be. She appeared to have accidentally revealed that her sister Serena Williams is expecting a baby girl during an interview with Eurosport at the French Open on Wednesday, May 31.
The interview took place after Venus beat Kurumi Nara from Japan in straight sets. Serena was also spotted at the match to watch her play. "What is the baby going to call you?" the interviewer asked. "She's going to call me 'favorite aunt,' " Venus answered, seemingly unaware that she used the word "she" to refer to the baby.
She further revealed that she and her other sisters wanted Serena's baby to be named after them. "Of course, we're always like, every day it's like, Baby V, Baby Esher, Baby Lyn," she shared, before adding, "We all want the baby to be named after us."
Serena announced that she's expecting her first child with fiance Alexis Ohanian back in April. She took to Snapchat to flaunt her baby bump. "20 weeks long," she wrote in the caption. Serena also announced that she would be taking a hiatus during her pregnancy. Following the announcement, she penned a heartfelt letter to the unborn baby on Instagram. "My Dearest Baby, You gave me the strength I didn't know I had. You taught me the true meaning of serenity and peace. I can't wait to meet you," she wrote alongside a photo of her showing off her baby bump.
