Photo by Scott Clarke / ESPN Images(NEW YORK) — A photo posted to Snapchat by tennis star Serena Williams started rumors that the 23-time Major tournament champion is pregnant, which her publicist confirmed on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old Williams did not comment further on the photo, which showed her standing sideways and was captioned “20 weeks.”
Williams and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian were engaged in December.
Williams hasn’t played since the Australian Open in January — which she won. She withdrew from the next two events on her schedule, blaming a knee injury for her absence.
She is next scheduled to take part in the French Open on May 28.
