Serena Williams has a goal in sight in her effort to lose all of that baby weight, which comes five months after she and husband Alexis Ohanian welcomed their second daughter to the family.
‘I got this cool Valentino skirt when I was pregnant and I was like, ‘I’m gonna be able to fit this when I don’t have a belly,’ the tennis legend, 42, revealed, while standing in front of a mirror in her bathroom.
‘I can’t fit it,’ she confessed before making an effort of two to pull the skirt on.
While starting to sound discouraged, Williams began to try and slip both legs into the prized garment: ‘But this is my goal. Honestly, I should’ve been able to fit it by now, but I ran into some, um… I got distracted for about a month.’
The seven-time Wimbledon champion admitted she’s about a month behind in reaching her goal, just as she turned to her side in front of a mirror that showed her derriere sticking out over the waistline.
Serena Williams, 42, sounded discouraged when she revealed she has a ‘very cool Valentino denim skirt’ that she still can’t fit into it, five months after giving birth to her second child.
‘We got a ways to go,’ she confessed with a sense of humor, ‘Houston, we have a problem.’
Knowing she has the ability to focus and hit the gym hard to get back into top shape, the Michigan native, who grew up in Southern California, set a new goal.
‘Okay, I feel like if I go to the gym and get fit I will be able to in it,’ she said with some hesitancy, which she showed by making a funny, not so confident look on her face.
The clip ended with a shot of the denim skirt sitting on top of a dresser with a message to her 17.1 million Instagram fans and followers: ‘back to the drawer…. for now!’
In another example of her sense of humor, Williams captioned the video ‘The Diary of a Denim skirt (part 1) #valentino.’
Williams and Alexis Ohanian fell head over heels for one another in 2015 when they met by chance while staying at the same hotel in Rome, Italy.
They began dating soon after and were going strong for more than a year when Ohanian pulled out the romance card and proposed to the tennis legend in December 2016 at the very same hotel and table where they first met.
That came about two months after the birth of their first daughter, Olympia, now six.
