Serena Williams made a surprise appearance during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show last night, but what fans didn’t see was her secret weapon behind the scenes—her 7-year-old daughter, Olympia Ohanian, who took her role as unofficial manager very seriously.
After her performance, Williams shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse on Instagram, showing Olympia in action. Dressed in a white graphic tee and trendy black-and-white flared pants, the little fashionista was fully engaged, keeping a watchful eye as her mom rehearsed.
At one moment, when Serena playfully reached for Olympia’s hair, the young fashionista quickly shut it down with a serious look, signaling that she was in full-on business mode.
Fans adored the sweet interaction, flooding Serena’s comments with love.
One follower wrote, “Ok, I see your manager got you together!” while another added, “Mommy is just rehearsing for the Super Bowl. What even is your life?”
After all her hard work, Olympia finally got to sit back and enjoy the show. Her dad, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, posted a sweet snapshot of her watching the game, captioning it simply, “Super Halftime Show.”
Meanwhile, Lamar’s high-energy set at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday, Feb. 9, was an unforgettable moment for hip-hop. The Compton-born rapper, 37, closed the show with his powerful Grammy-winning track “Not Like Us,” a song that has dominated conversations due to its pointed lyrics.
For her standout cameo, Serena effortlessly executed the legendary “Crip Walk,” a dance deeply tied to Compton’s roots, while stunning in a blue mini skirt and matching top over a white tank. Her toned legs took center stage as she delivered a few seconds of moves that quickly went viral.
Between Serena’s unexpected appearance, Olympia’s adorable backstage role, and Lamar’s electric performance, this year’s Super Bowl halftime show was packed with unforgettable moments!
