There’s no denying it—Meghan Markle and Serena Williams have one of those friendships that’s truly the stuff of dreams. The two have been inseparable for years, and their bond only continues to grow stronger. Recently, Serena didn’t hold back when it came to praising her pal Meghan, who’s expecting her next royal bundle of joy. Let’s just say Serena had nothing but kind words—and some seriously relatable advice—for all the moms out there.
On April 3, during an interview with E! News, Serena, 37, opened up about what she believes Meghan will bring to the table as a mom. “She’ll be the best mom, for sure,” Serena said, her admiration for Meghan shining through. As a mom herself to Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., who’s now a year old, Serena knows a thing or two about the challenges of parenthood. She went on to offer some heartfelt advice to all the new moms out there, reminding them that it’s okay not to be perfect. “Accept mistakes and don’t expect to be perfect. We put so much pressure on ourselves,” Serena explained. She recounted a conversation with a friend who was pregnant and had some lofty expectations. “She was like, ‘My kid’s gonna do this,’ and I just looked at her like, ‘No, she’s not,’” Serena recalled with a laugh. “She was like, ‘I need to talk to you about tips,’ because, yes, I had all of those high expectations.”

A Lifelong Friendship That Keeps Getting Stronger
Serena and Meghan, both 37, have been close friends for years, and their bond has only deepened recently. “We were actually just texting each other this morning,” Serena revealed in an interview with The Project. “We have known each other for a long time, but we really are relying on each other a lot recently.” Serena’s friendship with Meghan is built on mutual respect and support, and it’s no surprise that she was even invited to Meghan and Prince Harry’s royal wedding last May. “I felt like we were literally watching history,” Serena said about the wedding. “I feel like in a few years, when I look back at that moment, it’s just gonna be so historic. It’s gonna be something people never forget. The whole service was really wonderful, and most of all, I just wanted to see my friend be happy, and I think that’s what happened.”
