Last week Serena Williams surprised us all when she announced that she would be expecting her first child with her fiancé Alexis Ohanian.
She simply posted a photo to Snapchat with the caption, “20 Weeks,” but it turns out that pregnancy announcement was an accident.
According to People Magazine, Williams talked to Gayle King about her announcement on Tuesday at the 2017 Ted Talks Conference in Vancouver. During their discussion, Williams revealed that the Snapchat post was by accident.
She said, “Well, actually it was an accident. I was on vacation just taking some time for myself and I have this thing where I’ve been checking my status and taking pictures every week to see how far along I’m going.”
She continued, “I didn’t tell a lot of people to be quite honest and I’d been saving it. On social media, you press the wrong button and thirty minutes later I missed four calls and I’m like, ‘That’s weird’.”
However, she mentioned that she planned on making her announcement five or six days after her vacation.
