Friends and fans were overcome with joy about the announcement, but the funniest reaction belonged to Serena and Alexis’ daughter, Olympia. Fearing she might tell someone the big news prematurely, they waited until the day of the Met Gala to share the surprise with her.
Recounting the revelation in a May 23 YouTube video, Serena admitted, “Olympia does not know right now that I am pregnant,” she said, “but she did call me fat and then she got really stressed out.” Serena laughed at the memory and imitated Olympia: “‘Mommy, you’re fat.’ I try not to take it personal ’cause I’m like super into fitness, but I’m like, ‘Um, am I?'”
That’s when the pair knew they had to tell Olympia what was really going on. Serena and Alexis sat her down and informed her of her impending promotion to big sister.
