Serena, who is very much a 'hands-on mom, previously admitted, she 'never' leaves her daughter with a nanny, and after announcing last year that she was "evolving away from tennis" she teamed up with Prince Harry in a new career move to raise awareness for mental health.
Her Met Gala TikTok announcement had fans expecting to see her daughter Olympia on the red carpet, so her baby bump came as a surprise to fans.
One fan wrote, "Omg I just realized what this meant, not me looking for your little girl in the pic."
Another fan put, "I went from "The three of you?" to "OMG THE THREE OF YOU!" Congrats Serena."
And a third fan added, "OMG THIS IS THE ANNOUNCEMENT WE ARE HERE FOR!!!!"

Serena is close friends with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and no doubt their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will have another playmate in the coming months when the newborn arrives.
Serena has not yet announced her due date or whether she is expecting a boy or girl but she could be set to choose an unusual baby name like her first-born.
