Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian threw a baby shower over the weekend—and went ahead and revealed their baby’s sex via a casual drone display. Serena made it clear she was hoping for a girl, wearing a pink skirt to the event and saying in a video posted on YouTube, “I’m a little nervous because I don’t have any contingency plan if it turns out to be a boy.”
Alexis ended up pranking Serena by ordering a yellow cake, saying “I’m doing this because I want to troll her and Olympia into thinking that this is the reveal of Jelly Bean. She will cut into this cake, probably be disappointed, and hopefully, hopefully, appreciate my troll. But we’ll see. I don’t know if she’s gonna be a professional about it. She might see this cake come out, roll her eyes and say ‘This guy had one job and he gave me a goddamn cake gender reveal.’ But we’ll see. There’s a reveal after the reveal.”
Serena pretended to shove her slice of cake into Alexis’ face, so pretty much the perfect reaction. He then said, “We are actually going to reveal Jelly Bean’s sex. The way we’re going to do it though is with a little style and some spectacular lights.” Oh, and then he asked everyone to “draw your attention to the heavens” as drones spelled out “GIRL!” in the sky.
