Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian announced they are expecting a second child together on Monday night, as they attended the Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
The 41-year-old sport star let her figure-hugging black Gucci gown, which featured a white tulle train, do all the talking as it perfectly displayed her growing baby bump.
Taking to her Instagram hours later, Serena made reference to the happy news by sharing a few photos from the event in which she can be seen cradling her bump, writing: "Was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us to the Met Gala."

Proud father-to-be Alexis also opened up about the news and revealed their daughter Olympia's reaction to becoming a big sister.
Writing on his Twitter alongside two photos taken at the Met Gala, the American internet entrepreneur wrote: "Mama & Papa love this parenting-thing, so we're back at it and @olympiaohanian is gonna be the best Big Sister—she's been asking & praying for this for a minute. #MetGala."
He then added alongside a bracelet that spelt out "PAPA": "Details matter. Best title I've ever had - better than Founder.... CEO.... PAPA."

Just last year, as she announced her retirement from tennis, Serena explained she wanted more children, but not whilst working as an athlete – after famously winning the Australian Open while expecting her first child.

She also revealed that her daughter Olympia had asked to be a big sister – but only to a girl.
"We're in my car, and she's holding my phone, using an interactive educational app she likes. This robot voice asks her a question: 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' She doesn't know I'm listening, but I can hear the answer she whispers into the phone. She says, 'I want to be a big sister,'" she revealed.
