Serena Williams Shares First Photos And Name Of Her Baby Girl

The 35-year old tennis legend posted a photo of Alexis Jr. on her official instagram account and shared a link to a Youtube video uploaded by her fiance, which gives even more details into the birth of their baby girl. According to the video, Serena says there were �a lot of complications” at the hospital that required them to stay there for 6 or 7 days.

�So we’re leaving the hospital after six, seven days,” Serena says in a clip debuting her daughter.

�It’s been a long time, but we had a lot of complications, but look who we got � we got a baby girl!”

Serena says their baby girl weighed 6 lbs 14 ounces when she was born on September 1st at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. And she has already credited Alexis Jr. with winning a Grand Slam title, since Serena was pregnant when she won the Australian Open back in January.

During a late-night talk show appearance last month, Alexis Ohanion said,

�Serena won the Australian Open while pregnant. And she remarked that she feels like it has to be a girl because everything that that baby went through and handled like a champ, only a woman could be strong enough to take on.”
