It wasn’t the return to the tennis court that turned heads-it was a stroll through New York City.Serena Williams, vacationing with her family in the Big Apple last week, made headlines after appearing notably slimmer during a casual outing.
But when TMZ Sports approached her about the constant fan chatter surrounding her weight, the retired tennis legend kept it simple: “Everyone looks great!” And just like that, she shut it down with a smile.
When asked how she was feeling, the 43-year-old four-time Olympic gold medalist added, “Look good, feel good, right?” It wasn’t much, but it was enough to fuel an online frenzy.

She’s also trading recipes with friend Meghan Markle, whose own backyard garden in California has become a similar source of inspiration. And while some fans have speculated that Serena’s slim-down could signal a possible comeback, her recent projects suggest otherwise.
She’s laser-focused on life after tennis-running Serena Ventures, investing over $100 million into women- and minority-led startups, and even jumping into the sports ownership arena with a stake in the upcoming WNBA franchise, the Toronto Tempo.
Oh, and she’s executive producing Carrie Soto Is Back for Netflix-a story about a retired Grand Slam champ who returns for one final shot at glory. Whether it’s art imitating life or just good timing, Serena isn’t saying.
