Serena, 35, and Reddit co-founder Alexis, 34, welcomed their little girl on 1st September at St Mary's Medical Centre in West Palm Beach. So far, the couple have not revealed the name of their baby daughter.
The sportstar had hinted that her due date was getting close in early August, when she reached out on Reddit for advice on what to pack in her hospital bag. She wrote: "When did you pack your hospital bag? One month before? Six weeks? Eight weeks? I'm totally stalling. But I have a lot of time still... I think... Anything you didn't expect to need that I'll really appreciate having in there?"

At the weekend, Serena broke her social media silence to congratulate American US Open finalists Madison Keys and Sloane Stephens. "There are NO words to describe how proud and how happy I am for @Madison_Keys and @SloaneStephens for making the US open finals," she tweeted. "These amazing women continue to change the game and bring excellence, power, finesse and change to tennis. What a joy it will be to watch this – hopefully first of many finals. Let's go ladies!"
