‘Daddy’s Twin’: Serena Williams Stuns Fans with Newest Photos of Daughter Adira, 1, Who Looks ‘Exactly’ Like Dad

Adira Ohanian now has her own Instagram page, following in the footsteps of her older sister, Olympia Ohanian. Her first post has garnered plenty of affection from fans, many of whom have remarked on how much she looks like her father, Alexis Ohanian.

Adira’s first post was made in collaboration with Serena Williams and Alexis and was sweetly captioned, “Oh hello there- I know it’s been over a year but I’m just getting to this.”

The other pictures in the carousel show a happy and gorgeous toddler. One image shows Adira relaxing on a chair, dressed in a pink floral onesie with her hand resting in her hair.

Another picture captures her in the same outfit, this time with a red pacifier in her mouth while standing near a couch.

In a different shot, Adira is seen wearing yellow bell-bottom pants paired with a white and yellow floral shirt, and holding two boxes that appear to contain film camera refills.

The final photo features Adira standing on a small white slide in a pink dress. Fans marveled at the striking resemblance between the little one and her father.

One fan affectionately declared, “Daddy’s twin ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,” while another couldn’t help but note, “She looks like Dad!”

An observant fan pointed out that Adira has, “Daddy’s eyes 👏,” and another declared excitedly, “She looks exactly like Papa.” Some found the likeness so close that they wrote, “This child was a copy and paste 😍.”

Meanwhile, one playful fan suggested, “Serena, your gene needs to fight back…. Back to back.” Amid the outpouring of love, Adira was also praised for her beauty, “Such an absolutely gorgeous baby!!!”

Adira Ohanian’s new post has attracted loads of positive comments with over 113,000 likes as of now. Her new Instagram account has the description “Gummy Bear,” and features three playful emojis—a person running, a red heart, and a man behind a computer.

With over 40,000 followers, she follows only her parents and sister, adding to the charm of her debut on social media. Adira has mostly been appearing on her parent’s social media, and they once shared what her lovely name means.

Serena penned in a post, “Adira is a girl’s name of Hebrew origin and means ‘mighty,’ ‘strong,’ and ‘majestic.’ The elegant name is popular in many cultures around the world. Adira is the feminine form of the classic name Adir. It is a Biblical name, meaning ‘Strong One.’”

In the photo, Alexis stood beside Serena, who was expectant with Adira at the time. The couple lovingly held Olympia, who was sweetly kissing her mother’s pregnant belly. The carousel also included a touching image of Serena cradling her baby bump.

Serena Williams also recently revealed that she opted for a C-section when giving birth to Adira, with four doctors ready to assist. While she had no desire to experience labor, a small part of her still felt a sense of loss.

Known for her high pain tolerance, Serena understood the euphoria that can follow physical agony. Despite this, she came to terms with her decision, much like she did when she gave birth to Olympia naturally.

Speaking on Olympia’s birth, she said, “Because looking back, I’ll never have that moment again. For whatever weird reason, that kind of makes me a little sad, but that’s probably a party of one.”

For Adira’s birth, she was keen to have a plan, noting, “I like to say I put my best effort out there, and this was no different. I literally thought about it as a Grand Slam: How can I succeed?”

Serena dotes on her daughters, whom she is raising to find their own paths in life as much as she was a professional tennis player. The mom of two has shown little desire to push Olympia and Adira toward following in her footsteps, particularly as Olympia Ohanian doesn’t show an interest in sports.

What matters most to her is that her daughters discover a passion. Reflecting on her upbringing, she shared that her dad would tell her she could be a garbage collector if she wanted but she should make sure to be the best there was.

Now, Serena, who is deeply religious, says “Whatever you want to do, give it your all. It even says that in the Bible. ‘Whatever you do, do it wholeheartedly.’”

As for Alexis Ohanian, he is happy that they are a family of four, expressing his admiration for Serena, whom he called “Super Mom.” He is thrilled to see Adira becoming more mobile, which adds a new level of enjoyment to her interactions with her older sister.

He shared, “You can already see the interactions between them. It’s a big age gap, and Olympia has a little bit of that maternal spirit. She’s like, ‘This is my baby,’ and it’s great to see them together.”

The two girls enjoy playing together and engaging in light-hearted wrestling, making their time together special. Alexis feels fortunate that both Adira and Olympia have vibrant personalities and that Olympia is excited to be a big sister.

As Adira continues to grow and become more vocal, he anticipates even more joyful moments ahead. He humorously acknowledges that sibling rivalry may eventually arise but prefers to cherish the blissful moments for now.
