Is there trouble in paradise for Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian? The retired tennis champion is dropping hints that her marriage may be over.

The tennis superstar shared an emotional Instagram post, saying she is going through a “difficult” time in her life.

She also uploaded photos of herself wearing a red dress while posing in front of historic books in a library.

She seems to be sending the message that her marriage is history (get it?).

Serena said she “took some time away to breathe, to reconnect with myself, and to remember that it’s perfectly okay to pause and reconnect. Even if it’s just a quiet night to yourself.

She wrote: “My summer started out well but I was plunged into a difficult August. Like many of you, I faced challenges that tested my spirit and resilience.”

She continued:

“Life can sometimes feel overwhelming and it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters—your mental health and well-being. I took some time away to breathe, to reconnect with myself, and to remember that it’s perfectly okay to pause and reconnect. Even if it’s just a quiet night to yourself. Anything counts. I’ve learned that the end of a matter is better than its beginning. And even though things haven’t reached their end yet, I’m also learning to let go and live life one moment at a time.”

She concluded: “The only thing I’m dealing with in this moment here is how good this dress looks against first editions.”
