The 35-year-old and her fiancé, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, got engaged in December and this will be the couple’s first child. 

According to Sports Illustrated, Williams pulled out of tennis matches in Indian Wells and Miami in early March citing a knee injury. Her last competitive match was the Australian Open final, a 6-4, 6-4 victory over her sister Venus. 

Congrats you two, this is going to be one gorgeous kid!
