Williams, 35, who is engaged to Reddit
co-founder Alexis Ohanian, said the baby was born Sept. 1 and
weighed 6 lbs 14 oz (3.1 kg).
"So we're leaving the hospital after six days. It's been a long
time. We had a lot of complications, but look what we got!"
Williams said in the video, cradling the baby who has a mass of
black hair.
The video showed Williams dancing, hitting tennis balls as her
pregnancy progressed, selfies of her expanding belly, and home
video of the couple putting together the baby's crib.
Williams confirmed her pregnancy in April hours after triggering
speculation when she accidentally posted a short-lived selfie on
social media with the caption: "20 weeks".
Williams, the world's highest-paid female athlete, was about two
months pregnant when she captured her 23rd grand slam singles
title at the Australian Open.
She has not competed since announcing her pregnancy but she told
Vogue magazine last month that she intends to defend her title
next year in Australia, where the year's first grand slam will
be played from Jan. 15-28.
Reddit was among the first to congratulate the couple on
Wednesday.
"Congrats to two of our all-time favorite redditors who just
welcomed a new baby Snoo into their family: u/Kn0thing and
u/serenawilliams!," the social news and discussion website
posted on Twitter.
