Serena Williams is acing her post tennis chapter. The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion opens up about rediscovering her identity after retiring from tennis and how she’s balanced this new act as a mother to her and husband Alexis O’Hanian’s daughters Olympia and Adira. She tells Porter in a new interview published December 1st, “I want to bring in more clarity, confidence that I made the right decisions and that you don’t always have to live only for your children.” adding, “I’m discovering me again.” Part of that journey has involved her relationship to her body, which has been subject to commentary from the public since she was a teenager. The 44year-old reveals it does affect you mentally, adding, “Absolutely. You think you’re large for your whole life, and you look back and you’re like, I was fit. Yeah, I had big muscles. I didn’t look like these other girls, but not everyone looks the same.” Looking back, the Olympic gold medalist says she didn’t understand as an athlete how to deal with that comparison. Since retiring from tennis in 2022, the Win Beauty founder has undergone a body transformation, revealing earlier this year that she lost 31 lbs. With the help of a GLP1 weight loss medication, she told the Today Show in August, “I was on and off the medication and now completely on, it was a really good decision I had to make for my life.” adding, “No matter what I did, running, walking, I literally was playing a professional sport, and I could never go back to where I needed to be for my health.
