Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian waited until fashion’s biggest night to announce their big news — they’re welcoming a second child!

The tennis pro dropped hints on her Instagram account before hitting the red carpet at the Met Gala in New York City.

“Was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us to the Met Gala,” the retired tennis pro captioned her fashion post, in which she cradled her baby bump and held hands with her husband Alexis Ohanian.

Her custom Gucci gown had enough room for her growing baby while still giving her a classic hourglass silhouette.

Ohanian, a tech entrepreneur who co-founded Reddit, also shared the happy news on his Twitter account.

“Mama & Papa love this parenting-thing, so we’re back at it, and @olympiaohanian is gonna be the best Big Sister—she’s been asking & praying for this for a minute,” his tweet read, referencing their first child Olympia Ohanian.

Once they hit the busy red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the parents-to-be braved the press line, where Ohanian even put his hand on his wife’s stomach.

They weren’t the only ones at the Met Gala to announce they were expecting. Supermodel Karlie Kloss and her husband Joshua Kushner (brother of Jared Kushner) also revealed they are welcoming a second child.
