As the Daily Mail writes, the 41-year-old sportswoman told about this during The Drew Barrymore Show.

Williams explained that the five-year-old assured her that ‘everything was fine’ after her mother failed to win the US Open, that she was ‘so proud’ of her.

‘It’s okay, mom. Do what you feel, do what your heart tells you,’ the sportswoman conveyed the children’s words.

Williams said about this heartwarming moment. ‘It was the sweetest thing ever and I was so proud of her.’

She added that after the reaction of Olympia, she cannot talk about the sad defeat, although at that moment she ‘wanted to cry’.

The star athlete is married to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanyan, 39.
