Ever since Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian’s baby Adira was born in August,
they’ve kept her mostly hidden from the public eye. But in a new video shared
to TikTok today, we get a sweet new glimpse of the 2-month-old — and she has
the cutest interaction with her older sister Olympia, 6.
“Olympia is obsessed with being a big sis,” the 23-time Grand Slam champion
captioned the video. “She’s always pinching Adira’s cheeks 💕”
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA – MARCH 24: Serena Williams and Alexis

In the video — which is only six seconds long! — Williams sits at the
kitchen table with Adira propped up in her lap with the help of a nursing
pillow. You can see Adira’s long brown hair, her squishy cheeks, and her
tiny little hands curled up in fists. She’s so adorable!
Williams looks tired (like most moms!) as she tries to open a box of Disney
princess Shrinky Dinks for Olympia in the clip. Meanwhile, Olympia reaches
over to lightly pinch her baby sister’s cheeks and saying “cutie patootie
patootie!” in a high-pitched squeal. Adira just gazes lovingly at her older
sister, acting completely relaxed and chill (such a second-born move!).
Olympia then grabs Adira’s hand and moves it around while singing. You can
just tell how much these two love each other already!
“Best big sis ever😭” one person commented on the video. “this is so
adorable 😍,” another commented.
Williams and Ohanian announced the birth of their second daughter in
August with a cute video that showed the family of four all together, with
Adira wrapped up in a blanket.
“Welcome my beautiful angel,” Williams wrote.
Ohanian shared a picture from the video, writing, “Welcome, Adira River
Ohanian. I’m grateful to report our house is teaming with love: a happy
& healthy newborn girl and happy & healthy mama. Feeling
grateful.”
At the 2023 CFDA Fashion Awards earlier this week (where Williams was
honored with the Fashion Icon Award), Williams announced that her daughter
loves being a big sister.
“She’s navigating it. She loves it,” Williams told Entertainment Tonight.
“Adira’s like a tiny little baby, so Olympia just calls her her little sis.”
And, apparently, “cutie patootie patootie” too!
