In the video, Serena revealed that their five-year-old daughter, Olympia, did not know she was going to be a big sister until the day of the Met Gala.

“The reason I haven’t told her is because she can’t keep a secret,” Serena said, laughing. The video showed footage of Serena getting ready for the Met Gala, and cut off as Serena and Alexis began to tell Olympia about the baby.

Serena also teased that more details about the special moment will be shared in a future YouTube video. “Stay tuned … link in bio to subscribe,” she wrote in the video’s caption.
