After more than a year of pictures of the back of Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian’s daughter Adira’s head, we’re finally seeing the little girl’s adorable face! The proud parents posted a carousel of photos of the growing 1-year-old on “her” Instagram page (read: the account they manage), and she is too cute to handle!
In the opening shot, she is stuffing her face (same, girl!) and staring wide-eyed at the camera. In the next, she looks utterly precious sitting on the couch in her floral pajamas grabbing at her curly hair. Later, there’s a photo of her in a pink dress getting ready to go down an indoor slide, and we’re not surprised she’s so brave given that her name means “strong.”
“Oh hello there — I know it’s been over a year but I’m just getting to this,” the caption said.
Her proud parents were quick to jump in the comments. “So obsessed with you my love 😍,” Williams wrote. “You sure these aren’t old @olympiaohanian photos!!!???” Ohanian said, referencing his and Williams’ 7-year-old daughter Olympia.
That brings us to the major point of discussion in the comment section: Who little Adira takes after. And the answer couldn’t be clearer. Adira — much like her big sister — looks just like her dad.
“This man has some strong genes lol,” one person said of the Reddit co-founder. And on it went:
“She looks like Dad!” “Serena your gene needs to fight back…. Back to back damn..” “Awww! Copy paste of her big sister. Too cute. 😍” “Daddy’s eyes 👏”
The eyes really sealed the deal for us. Ohanian and his daughters all have the biggest dark and round eyes. They also all have the same square forehead (I don’t care how weird it is to notice that) and arched eyebrows.
Now that little Adira has made her big [forward-facing] social media debut, we can’t wait to see her walk a red carpet like Olympia Ohanian. Over the summer, the then 6-year-old rocked a shimmering dress on the ESPYs red carpet.
“It’s a family affair ♥️,” Williams captioned a photo of her, her husband, and her firstborn ahead of the awards show she hosted.
“Too cute 😍,” actress Jessica Alba commented, and we have to agree.
