In celebrity news, it looks like Serena Williams’ celebrity pregnancy announcement on Snapchat was a mistake! According to UsMagazine.com, the tennis superstar admitted that her selfie posted on Snapchat on April 19 showing off her 20 week baby bump was an accident. During a celebrity interview at the TED conference on Tuesday, April 25, Williams stated: “I have this thing where I’ve been checking my status and taking pictures every week to see how far along I’m getting. I’ve been so good about it, but this was the one time it slipped.” The 35 year-old pro athlete followed her statement by claiming that even if the Snapchat didn’t go out to the public on that day she was going to reveal the pregnancy within the week. This will be Serena Williams’ first child with fiancé, co-founder of Reddit, Alexis Ohanian.
It looks like this celebrity baby news was meant to stay a secret for a bit longer! What are some things to consider before revealing your pregnancy to family and friends?
