Serena Williams was every inch the doting mother as she stepped out with daughter Olympia, three, for ice cream in Rome on Thursday.
The tennis superstar looked delighted as she held hands with her lookalike daughter – who she shares with husband Alexis Ohanian – while strolling in the street.
Serena looked casually cool in a black hoodie and matching joggers, paired with pastel pink trainers and a Gucci bag as she walked.

Little Olympia was adorable in a pink polka dot tracksuit as she enjoyed an icecream.
The mother-daughter duo were also seen enjoying a fairground ride during their day in Italy.
At the moment Serena is in Rome in order to play tennis in the Italian Open which concludes next Sunday.
She posted an Instagram snap of herself last week practicing at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy in the French Riviera presumably just before going to Italy.

In October of last year Serena revealed on Insta Stories that little Olympia has been signed up for tennis lessons herself.
However she was to be instructed by neither her mother nor by her aunt Venus who is also a tennis star, according to Serena’s posts at the time.
In fact Serena shared that the teacher they have chosen at that point had ‘no idea’ that her new pupil is the daughter of a world-famous athlete.
She also said she would leave the lessons immediately after dropping Olympia off so as not to be an ‘overprotective’ or ‘distracting’ influence.
However by January she posted a sweet Instagram snap of herself looking on lovingly as Olympia practiced her tennis moves.
