As the host of this year’s ESPY Awards, Williams has her hands full. During an interview with ABC News’ Will Reeve that aired Wednesday on “Good Morning America,” she spoke candidly about the excitement and challenges of her new role.

“It’s really busy and it’s really fun being Serena right now,” she said. “I love it.”

Juggling her professional commitments with motherhood has been a rewarding journey for Williams. After retiring from professional tennis, she welcomed her second daughter, Adira, last year.

In a candid conversation with Time in 2022, Serena discussed the difficult decisions women often face when raising a family. “It gets to a point where sometimes women have to make different choices than men if they want to raise a family,” she explained. “It’s just black and white. You either make a choice or you don’t.”

Serena also shared a humorous anecdote about Olympia’s reaction to her retirement. “Olympia doesn’t like it when I play tennis,” she revealed, noting that her daughter was visibly excited when she announced her retirement. “It’s hard to fully commit when you’re flesh and blood saying, Aw.”

For now, Williams is focused on being present for her children. “(Normally) going to my daughter’s school. I want to be volunteer of the year. That’s my new goal now, of course, to be the No. 1 volunteer at the school,” the mother of two joked. “I had to be the best.”

The 2024 ESPY Awards, airing live on ABC at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, July 11, recognize outstanding achievement in sports.
