Williams announced that she had become pregnant for the second time just before the Met Gala this past May
The tennis player and her spouse first met when they ran into each other at a hotel in Rome in May 2015, and they began dating not long afterwards.
The pair got engaged in December 2016, and they welcomed their first daughter Olympia the following September.
The two subsequently tied the knot during a star-studded wedding ceremony that took place in New Orleans that November.
