Serena Williams<\/a> knows how to set Instagram on fire!<\/p>\n

The former professional tennis player and Olympic gold medalist, 44, took to Instagram to share a series of stunning bathing suit photos that showed her looking more svelte than ever. With her long, blonde hair done in tight curls, the iconic athlete wore a cozy pink robe and fuzzy slippers falling off her toned body. The green, one-piece bathing suit highlighted the tennis star’s physique, which has gotten significantly slimmer since last year with her\u00a0announcement<\/a>\u00a0that she lost 31 pounds using a GLP-1 medication.<\/p>\n

Williams, who has two daughters,\u00a0Alexis Olympia, 8, and\u00a0Adira, 2, with husband\u00a0Alexis Ohanian<\/a>, shared a message in the caption: “I am not perfect\u2026.but I\u2019m perfectly me. Take out time today to celebrate being perfectly you! \ud83d\udc8b.”<\/p>\n

Has Serena Williams Struggled With Her Mental Health?<\/p>\n

Last year,<\/a> Williams appeared to be struggling a bit when she posted a cryptic message to social media about focusing on her mental health. While the tennis icon looked stunning in a series of photos that featured her in a red silk dress in a library, the caption was a bit more mysterious.<\/p>\n

\u201cDearest gentle reader, 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. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming and it\u2019s easy to lose sight of what truly matters\u2014your mental health and well-being. I took some time away to breathe, to reconnect with myself, and to remember that it\u2019s perfectly okay to pause and reconnect. Even if it\u2019s just a quiet night to yourself. Anything counts,\u201d she wrote in the caption.<\/p>\n

She went on to say that she \u201clearned that the end of a matter is better than its beginning. And even though things haven\u2019t reached their end yet, I\u2019m also learning to let go and live life one moment at a time. The only thing I\u2019m dealing with in this moment here is how good this dress looks against first editions.\u201d<\/p>\n
