It comes after the couple shared the first pictures from their wedding on Thursday.

The couple, who tied the knot in New Orleans’ Contemporary Arts Center, were seen passionately kissing after saying their vows in a picture posted by Alexis.

Serena looked incredible in her £2.6million Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress.

He wrote beside the picture of the pair kissing: “You are the greatest of all time, not just in sport–I’m talking about as a mother and as a wife.”

On finding her perfect wedding dress, Serena told Vogue: “I flew to London to meet with Sarah and ended up falling in love with the ball gown silhouette, which is completely the opposite of what I ever thought I would choose for myself.

“I loved the idea of doing a really spectacular ball gown, and it has turned out to be such an incredibly special piece.”
