Per Vanity Fair, Serena is now just over six months pregnant.

The 35-year-old Williams won the 2017 Australian Open while pregnant, but she missed the French Open and is set to be out the remainder of the campaign.

In April, Serena indicated in an Instagram post that she intends to return to tennis:

Williams' 23 Grand Slam singles titles are the most in the Open Era, and she trails only Margaret Court's 24 on the all-time list.

Per Becky Pemberton of the Sun, Williams' publicist, Kelly Bush Novak, confirmed that Serena's baby is due in the fall after Grand Slam season.
