A future queen of all things (because, let's face it, her mom surely is) is here! Serena Williams and fiance Alexis Ohanian just welcomed their first child. All the details inside...
It's a girl for Serena & Alexis!
The tennis champ and her Reddit co-founder fiancé welcomed a baby girl this afternoon at St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach. And it's only appropriate it all happened during the U.S. Open.
Reportedly, the entire first floor of the hospital was cleared on Wednesday when Serena and Alexis first arrived, with no one getting through without going through security.
The birth didn't happen as quickly as Serena's beats her opponents on the court, though. The 35-year-old Vogue chick reportedly had to be induced Thursday evening, and she gave birth to a 6-pound, 13-ounce baby girl Friday. Reporters from CBS 12 confirmed the news via sources inside the hospital:

During an interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box" back in July, Alexis gushed about Serena becoming a mom saying: "She's very good at a lot of things and well on her way to being an awesome mom too."
Serena has remained active during her pregnancy, posting videos of her hitting balls on the court and still working out. She wants to officially make her return by January's Australian Open.
We're convinced she'll will be back to Grand Slams, her clothing lines and all her other businesses faster than her 120+ mph serves. All while being a fab mommy.
Congrats!
