Serena Williams rocks strappy cutout swimsuit with ‘mini me’ daughter Adira

Serena Williams shows off her toned figure in a leopard-print cut-out swimsuit as she poses on the beach with her mini me

Serena Williams showed off her toned figure in a leopard-print cut-out swimsuit as she posed on the beach with her 18-month-old daughter Adira.

The retired tennis champion, 43, took to Instagram on Monday to share snaps from a family beach day.

She looked sensational as she sported a skimpy one-piece, complete with a just a thin strap connecting the bra and knickers.

The black and white leopard-print swimsuit also has thin cut-out straps attached to the briefs to pair with the triangle bra.

Serena’s athlete figure was on full display as the bikini showed off her ripped figure, including her toned abs.

She took to the sea with her daughter Adira River, who she shares with husband Alexis Ohanian. The couple also have a six-year-old daughter called Alexis Olympia.

‘My mini mini @adiraohanian wanted to take a dip in the ocean,’ Serena wrote. ‘I could not say no.’

Serena and her husband Alexis were first linked in 2015, the same year he on-off four-year relationship with Drake ended.

She was later seen kissing the rapper in August 2015, but Alexis began to be a regular fixture with her on social media around that time.

The two kept their relationship fairly under the radar, until they announced their engagement in December 2016.

In September 2017, Serena welcomed their first child, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr, and the couple later tied the knot in November of that year.

In August 2023, Serena and Alexis revealed they had welcomed their second child, Adira River Ohanian.

It comes after the retired tennis icon got some prime screen time as a featured dancer in Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl 2025 halftime show.

She performed in his hit song Not Like Us, which was filled with shots at his nemesis Drake — who also happens to be Serena’s ex-boyfriend.

Drake doesn’t seem to have been in as good of a mood in the running up to the performance, as he delivered a rant about his exes on-stage in Melbourne, Australia, just hours before the halftime show began.

Serena was clearly happy with her performance after the Super Bowl, as she posted to X, ‘Let’s go Super Bowl halftime. I died a little!’

Weighing in on her show-stopping appearance, her 41-year-old Reddit co-founder husband Alexis took to X (formerly Twitter) to compliment the performance.

‘Pretty fantastic halftime show,’ he wrote after sharing photos of the field from his vantage point in a VIP box.

Alexis already has a reputation for always having his wife’s back, and Sunday was no different.

In addition to celebration the halftime show, he also stood up for her crip walk on the field.

The response to the dance was vastly different compared to a 2012 incident in which she performed it to celebrate her defeat of Maria Sharapova at the Olympics.

Some of y’all have no idea how criticized Serena was for this same dance at Wimbledon 13 years ago and it shows…. This is bigger than the music,’ he wrote.

He included a screenshot of a summary of contemporary comments from conservative sports commentator Jason Whitlock, who was then with Fox Sports.

He originally said that Serena ‘deserved to be criticized’ and said she ‘should’ve immediately apologized’. Jason went on claim her tennis crip walk was ‘akin to cracking a tasteless, X-rated joke inside a church.’

After a fan in the replied called Jason ‘one of the biggest losers to exist’, Alexis said: ‘I get that faux outrage pays his bills, just not how I’d wanna spend my life.’
