Kind fans have been reassuring Serena Williams after she expressed her upset at missing her baby's first steps
LAST SEPTEMBER, SERENA Williams gave birth to her daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.
Today, 10 months later, Alexis took her first steps. It’s a massive milestone in both a parent and child’s life, but it wasn’t a very happy affair for Serena, as she was busy training. She put up a tweet, telling followers that she cried because she missed Alexis Olympia’s first steps.
