Serena Williams Shows Off Her Figure in Bright Yellow Swimsuit After Announcing Weight Loss from GLP-1…

Serena Williams is radiating both inside and out!

The retired tennis star, 43, confidently shined in a yellow bathing suit for a series of Instagram photos shared shortly after she opened up to PEOPLE about her weight loss journey with a GLP-1 medication during an exclusive interview.

The images featured Williams striking several poses while standing in knee-deep waters, wearing a yellow, one-piece swimsuit with a cutout in the center and an untied bowtie.

She accessorized with a green bandana around her neck and black shades.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion stood strong, smiling with her hands on her hips in the first shot, spread her arms out wide for the playful, candid second snap and turned slightly profile with her arm back down by her side for a third picture.

She added a selfie of herself to conclude her carousel, which showed off floral details on her green bandana and accessories. She threw her hand up into the air, freely, while her blonde tendrils gently blew in her face.

Prior to her Instagram post, the tennis icon — who shares Olympia, 6, and Adira, 1, with her husband, Alexis Ohanian — opened up about her weight loss journey, revealing that she has been using a GLP-1 medication to help with weight loss and has since lost over 31 lbs.

“I feel great,” she told PEOPLE exclusively in August. “I feel really good and healthy. I feel light physically and light mentally.”

Williams says her struggle with weight began after she gave birth to her first daughter, Olympia, in 2017, and her body started to change postpartum.

“I never was able to get to the weight I needed to be, no matter what I did, no matter how much I trained,” she explained. “It was crazy because I’d never been in a place like that in my life where I worked so hard, ate so healthy and could never get down to where I needed to be at.”

The decorated athlete noted how she’s always put in the physical work, but the outcome was different post-pregnancy.

“I had never taken shortcuts in my career and always worked really hard. I know what it takes to be the best,” she made known. “So it was very frustrating to do all the same things and never be able to change that number on the scale or the way my body looked.”

Williams welcomed her second child, daughter Adira River, in August 2023, and experienced similar struggles to her first after giving birth again. She was able to lose a lot of weight in two weeks, but then remained stagnant afterwards.
