Congratulations!

Serena Williams has given birth to a baby girl.

The tennis champion and her partner, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, reportedly welcomed a daughter into the world, weighing 6 pounds, 13 ounces.

The news was announced by reporter Chris Shepherd from WPBF-25 News, who is a source at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.

He wrote on Twitter: “Tennis star Serena Williams gives birth to a baby girl weighing 6 pounds, 13 ounces. Mom and baby doing well.”

The Daily Mail is reporting that Serena checked into the hospital and Wednesday afternoon, with the entire ward being sectioned off so she could have her privacy.

Doctors at the hospital confirmed that she had checked in on Wednesday, and was induced on Thursday night.

Many fans are rushing to the star’s latest Instagram post, wishing her well and congratulating the new mum.
