Serena Williams has been honored as Glamour’s Global Woman of the Year for 2024, celebrating her remarkable impact both on and off the tennis court. Despite retiring from professional tennis at the 2022 US Open, Serena continues to thrive in various aspects of her life. Her journey demonstrates that success extends beyond sports, and she is winning in new and exciting ways.
According to the recently published piece on Glamour, the 23-time Grand Slam champion shares insights about her postpartum hormonal struggles, her “codependent” relationship with her sister Venus, and the surprising celebrity mom she turns to for advice. Serena has been heavily involved on and off the WTA tour recently and this achievement with Glamour just adds to her incredible CV.
This year, Serena was featured in a documentary titled “In the Arena: Serena Williams,” which explores her daily motivations and the drive that has fueled her career. The film offers an intimate look at her life, showcasing how she balances motherhood, business, and personal growth.
In addition to her documentary, Serena has successfully developed a fashion business with her husband, Alexis Ohanian. Together, they have created a strong business model that reflects their shared vision and values. The couple was also seen supporting US athletes at the Paris Olympics.
Serena Williams makes huge admission about her relationship with sister, Venus Williams
Venus Williams and Serena Williams have firmly established themselves as tennis legends over the years. When one sister’s name comes up, it’s hard not to think of the other.
This close bond is something Serena truly values. In fact, she enjoys being associated with her older sister and finding strength in their connection.
In a recent interview with Glamour for its Women of the Year 2024 issue, Serena openly shared that she and Venus are still “codependent.” Growing up just two years apart and rising to the top of the sport together, they have always supported one another. Their relationship has played a key role in their success.
Some things never change. I don’t even want to not be codependent with her. I love her. I don’t want our lives to ever be separate.
Serena Williams said in an interview with Glamour
The sisters are so inseparable that whenever their travel plans take them to the same city, Serena won’t even book her hotel until Venus has made her arrangements. This way, they can stay close to each other and share the experience.
Serena became a mother for the first time on September 1, 2017. She married Alexis Ohanian, the founder of Reddit, later that same year. Together, they welcomed their second daughter, Adira, in 2023.
Looking back on her life, Serena expressed her excitement upon learning she was having another girl. This news not only filled her with joy but also reinforced the special bond she shares with her sister.
