Pregnant Serena Williams Poses for Vanity Fair Cover

The 35-year-old tennis champion, who is expecting her first child with fiancé and Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian, wears only a flesh colored thong and belly chain on the August 2017 issue of the magazine.

Pregnant Serena Williams, who found out she was expecting right before the Australian Open in January 2017, was shocked by the baby news after taking six pregnancy tests. They were all positive.

Roughly seven months into her pregnancy, the 35-year-old has two personal milestones in store—becoming a mother for the first time and becoming a wife for the first time. She and fiancé Alexis Ohanian became engaged in December 2016 in Rome at a table where the two first met. 

However, unlike her surprise pregnancy, Williams suspected her beau was about to ask her a very important question when he insisted she get on a plane to Italy despite her work obligations creeping up around her.
