In 2017, Serena Williams became a first-time mother when she gave birth to her daughter, Olympia. However, the experience was fraught with challenges as she faced a life-threatening situation during labor, requiring an emergency C-section after Olympia’s heart rate dropped during contractions. Despite the complications, everything turned out well, and Olympia was born on September 1, 2017. Years later, Serena Williams seems to share a strong connection with Selena Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey, especially in their shared values of motherhood.
Williams is an investor in Wondermind, a mental fitness platform co-founded by Selena Gomez and Mandy Teefey. This partnership has allowed Williams and Teefey to grow close, bonding over their experiences as mothers. Teefey explained that Williams admired the open and honest relationship between her and Gomez. They both agreed that using their platforms to give back, despite the negativity they’ve faced, made it all worthwhile.
Serena Williams, now a mother of two after welcoming her second daughter, Adira, has always handled negativity throughout her career with resilience. On the other hand, Selena Gomez recently made a heartbreaking revelation about her challenges with motherhood due to her struggle with lupus, an autoimmune disease. Gomez shared that her condition makes it unsafe for her to carry a child, a reality she had to come to terms with. However, she expressed hope for motherhood through surrogacy or adoption, emphasizing that, like her mother who was adopted, the method doesn’t matter as she will love her children unconditionally.
While both Williams and Gomez have faced different struggles, they share a strong commitment to motherhood. Serena Williams, now retired from tennis, frequently enjoys time with her children, offering an inspiring example of a strong mother-daughter
bond.
