The 35-year-old greatest active female tennis star and 23-time Grand Slam champion posted on her Snapchat Wednesday a selfie of her showcasing a baby bump in a yellow one-piece swimsuit, with the caption "20 weeks." She later deleted the photo.

Her rep confirmed to E! News Serena is pregnant and due to give birth this fall.

She had revealed in late December on Reddit that she is engaged to the social network's co-founder Alexis Ohanian, 33. They have not commented regarding her baby bump photo.

The two have recently been vacationing in Tulum, Mexico—guess you could call it a babymoon!

Serena recently posted on her Instagram page a sweet photo of her fiancé smiling while carrying her on a beach, writing, "My only regret is not pointing my toe sorry coach Garry."

She appeared to offer a pregnancy hint over the weekend, posting a selfie showing her looking tired and writing, "Fighting to get up this morning."

She certainly did not seem that way back in January, when she beat sister Venus Williams to win the Women's Singles Match at the 2017 Australian Open, nabbing her seventh Australian Open title and a record 23rd grand slam title.
