Serena Williams is Making Room For Baby, But Big Sis is Having None of It

The tennis star's five-year-old daughter isn't exactly welcoming her little sister with open arms.

Tennis star Serena Williams gave us all life when she announced the birth of her second child, daughter Adira on August 22. And while the world waits for the first close-up shots of the newest member of the family, Williams gave fans the next best thing โ€“ a glimpse at her room.

In an August 27 YouTube clip, the 41-year-old champion lets us into her home as she shares before and after images of Baby Adiraโ€™s nursery. The serene room, which was once a playroom for Williamsโ€™ oldest daughter Olympia, was tastefully redesigned with adorable stuffed animals, monogrammed pillows and a walk-in closet that could only be created in a fashionistaโ€™s dreams.

And while I always love getting a sneak peek inside the cribs of the rich and famous, itโ€™s hard not to notice the way a tiny leading lady completely steals the show.

Itโ€™s very clear throughout the video that Olympia has some pretty strong feelings about having to surrender her playroom to her new baby sis. And if youโ€™ve ever had to give up your space and privacy to make room for a younger sibling, you already know what that feels like. As the oldest of three, I can certainly feel her pain.

When Williams tries to show viewers inside Olympiaโ€™s bedroom, the five-year-old stops mom in her tracks at the door. โ€œYou canโ€™t go here,โ€ she says. She even has a mini Real Housewife moment when she walks into the nursery and tries to grab a toy โ€“ giving no fs whatsoever that her mom was filming at the time. Determined to make a statement, Olympia takes a roll of wallpaper from her momโ€™s hand and storms off with a sassy hair flip for effect. I honestly didnโ€™t know it was possible to be that defiant and adorable at the same time.

It may take a little time for Olympia to get used to having to share the spotlight, but with a personality like that, Iโ€™m sure sheโ€™ll have no problem carving out her own lane.
