Tennis champion Serena Williams ranks motherhood her biggest and best achievement.

“She’s changed everything,” said Williams.

“As a person I feel like the softer side of Serena shows through more. I’ve always—it’s always been around but it just kind of shows through in the public more than it does—in the past. But it’s been great. It’s just been it’s been the best thing that I’ve done,” she continued.

Williams has teamed up with U.S. diaper brand Pampers to celebrate the “wild child.”

“I feel like my child is definitely wild and the Pampers 360 cruiser is perfect for her because it’s flexible it stretches it’s really like a yoga pants and a diaper.”

“She just was so fun to work with and she was so professional and so good. And then she got hurt and she was running and she was being wild. I’m like, baby, you’ve got to slowdown—she’s just running and she got upset, but then she was happy and she running again. I’m like, well didn’t you kind of just learn?”

Currently the multi grand slam champion is on the injured list, with no firm plans return to the court at this point.

“I’m taking it one day at a time. I’m not in a rush. I look forward to getting back out there but until then I’m just taking it one day at a time.”

Williams is one of the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle’s closet friends and attended both her wedding and recent New York baby shower and said teased shipping a gift of diapers to the royal: I may have already sent Pampers across the pond.”
