Major congratulations are in order for Serena Williams!

The tennis star has announced she is expecting her first baby with her Reddit co-founder fiancé Alexis Ohanian.

The 35-year-old took to Snapchat on Wednesday to share a glimpse of her blossoming baby bump with fans.

“20 weeks,” she captioned the mirror selfie, which showed the 23-time grand slam singles champ posing in a yellow one-piece swimsuit.

The timing means that Williams would have been in her first trimester when she won the Australian Open in back January.

The notoriously private couple announced the news of their engagement in December last year, with the athlete breaking the news via a poem on Reddit. 

“I came home. A little late. Someone had a bag packed for me. And a carriage waited. Destination: Rome,” she penned.

“To escort me to my very own ‘charming’. Back to where our stars first collided and now it was full circle. At the same table we first met by chance.”

“But by choice,” Williams added. “Down on knee. He said 4 words. And I said yes.”
