Serena Williams announced Wednesday that she is pregnant and due this fall.
Tennis player Serena Williams offered up a side profile shot of herself in a yellow swimsuit with a caption that read "20 weeks" on Snapchat.
Williams said at a press conference after her win at the 2017 Australian Open in January that it "feels good" to be engaged.
Williams hasn't played since her Australian Open triumph, which saw her surpass Steffi Graf for the most Grand Slam singles titles in the Open Era.
"Serena Williams was pregnant when she won her 23rd grand slam tournament at the Australian Open".
In December, Williams announced her engagement to Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, in a post on - where else?- Reddit.
One of the world's most famous tennis players sparked speculation Wednesday that she is expecting her first child.
With Williams and her representatives now being tight-lipped, however, no one is quite sure.

It also helps that Rajon Rondo is playing like vintage Rondo, the point guard who quarterbacked the Celtics' title run in 2008. Additionally, when comparing the Bulls' and Celtics' rosters, the Bulls clearly have the upper hand on experience and talent.
In pregnancy, a woman's center of gravity shifts forward to accommodate the growing fetus, which could affect Williams' stance. If Williams is 20 weeks pregnant and gives birth after a full term, she would have her child in early September, during the fourth Grand Slam, the U.S. Open in NY.
Urbanites had quietly hoped that Serena could reconcile her relationship with rap great Common, but despite their attempts to get back together, their romance never reignited.
"She's already done so much, does she need more?"
Neither Williams nor her management team were immediately available for comment.
The 2012 Olympic Gold medalist (she has also won three Gold medals in doubles with Venus) has won the Miami Open eight times - most recently in 2015. She holds 39 major titles, the most amongst active players.
The next Grand Slam tournament this year is the French Open, which starts in May.
"At the same table we first met by chance this time he made it not by chance but by choice", she wrote. One woman's pregnancy may floor her for the whole nine months while another's may not interfere with picking up an Olympic gold medal or winning a tennis Grand Slam.
