This time, the skirt fit, but it was still too tight for her to zip up comfortably, although it was an improvement compared to her previous attempt.

While focusing on losing weight, Serena Williams is also embracing the joys of motherhood. Early this year, during an appearance on “TODAY,” Williams noted that being a mom has made her more active than during her tennis career.

She explained that everyday errands, such as grocery shopping and engaging in her daughters’ activities, have made her become more active. This shift in lifestyle showcases her commitment not only to her fitness goals but also to being an involved and active parent.
