Weirdly, she did not make the announcement on Reddit.

Serena Williams is expecting her first child, who will certainly possess superhuman abilities.

Williams, who is engaged to Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian, revealed her baby bump in a vacation Snapchat. A spokesperson for Williams has confirmed the news to Mashable.

Apparently she's 20 weeks along, meaning she won the Australian Open while pregnant NBD.

Though Williams has proven herself to be an expert troll in recent months, this seems legit.

Earlier this week, the tennis champ Instagrammed this adorable shot with Ohanian that appears to be from around the time they announced their engagement on Reddit.

Should their baby be interested in playing doubles in the future, may we suggest meeting up with Beyoncé's twins?
