‘This Baby Is Only 4’: Serena Williams’ Daughter Teaches Her How to Play the Piano, Serena Fails — Watch

Posted byBy Danielle Jones | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Serena Williams has a super talented 4-year-old on her hands.

On Sept. 2, Williams uploaded the cutest TikTok video, which she then reposted on Instagram, of her daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian teaching her how to play the piano. Alexis concentrated on the piano keys while her little hair beads gently moved as she pressed each key. The little one coached her mother through each key while looking at some unidentifiable item that was off camera.

Williams tried following her daughter, who adorably resembled a younger version of Williams and her sister Venus Williams when they used to wear beads in their hair. However, the 23-time Grand Slam champion couldn’t quite get it down right and ended up jokingly apologizing multiple times. She eventually turned to her daughter and said, “Sorry, are you going to fire me?” she asked, but Alexis responded by continuing to play a song that Williams dubbed “Olympia is a boss #remix.”

In her Instagram caption, she revealed that one is never too young to teach and one is never too old to learn. She wrote “​​I teach her tennis… She teaches me piano… 🎾🎹 @olympiaohanian.” Williams welcomed her daughter with her husband and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian in September 2017. Ever since giving birth to her, Williams and her daughter have been giving their followers delightful mommy-daughter duo content. From matching outfits to singing and dancing together to Olympia joining her mom from time to time on the tennis court, fans cannot get enough of the two.

In response to the piano lessons video, one shocked person said, “This baby is only 4! Watch out world! 💕💕💕.” Someone else wrote, “❤️🙌👏 very sweet love the time you and Olympia are having together 💕.” Others could not get enough of how much Alexis resembles Williams. They received comments like “Mini Serena❤️,” and “You guys look soooo much alike 😍.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
