Serena Williams is proudly showcasing her swimsuit-ready figure as she navigates her journey with GLP-1 weight loss medication.

“I might not be flawless… but I’m perfectly myself,” the 44-year-old tennis legend shared on Instagram this past Friday, March 13. Her post featured an image of her in a deep green one-piece swimsuit, accompanied by the message, “Take a moment today to celebrate being perfectly you.”

Along with her striking green swimsuit, Williams sported a pink robe casually draped over her shoulders and a pair of comfy slippers by the poolside. Her hair cascaded in natural curls, and she appeared to opt for a minimal makeup look.

In August 2025, Williams revealed she had shed 31 pounds with the assistance of GLP-1 medication. These medications, such as Wegovy and Ozempic, are traditionally used for diabetes management but are increasingly popular for aiding weight loss.

Serena Williams continues to flaunt her impressive 31-pound weight reduction, thanks to the GLP-1 medication Ro. “I feel fantastic,” the 43-year-old athlete expressed to People in an interview released on Thursday, August 21. “I feel really good and healthy. I feel light both physically and mentally.” The retired tennis star revealed her decision to explore weight-loss options […]

“I feel great,” Williams told People at the time. “I feel really good and healthy. I feel light physically and light mentally.”

The retired tennis player decided to use the controversial weight loss medication after she says she was “never” able to reach the weight she “needed” to reach after giving birth to her daughter Olympia in 2017.

“It was crazy because I’d never been in a place like that in my life where I worked so hard, ate so healthy and could never get down to where I needed to be at,” she recalled to the outlet. “I had never taken shortcuts in my career and always worked really hard. I know what it takes to be the best.”

Williams shares daughter Olympia with her husband, Alexis Ohanian. The couple later welcomed their second daughter, Adira, in August 2023. Shortly after giving birth for a second time, Williams said she again had difficulty losing weight after two weeks.

“I never lost another pound,” she told People at the time. “I just thought, gosh, I don’t know if I would ever be able to get back to where I needed to get to.”

That’s when Williams says she turned to Ro — she is now a spokesperson for the company — and began taking injections of a GLP-1 weight loss drug in 2024 after she stopped breastfeeding her younger daughter.

“I really wanted to dive into it before I just did it,” she said, though she clarified that she never “felt pressure” to maintain a certain weight, size or body image.

“I’m more active,” she added. “My joints don’t hurt as much. I just feel like something as simple as just getting down is a lot easier for me. And I do it a lot faster. I feel like I have a lot of energy and it’s great. I Just feel pretty good about it.”
