‘People Were Like, Do They Like Each Other’ – Venus Williams on Sharing Inside Details of Her and Serena Williams’ Relationship
Tennis icon Venus Williams is pulling back the curtain on her relationship with younger sister Serena Williams as the two prepare to launch their much-anticipated video podcast. In a recent interview, Venus revealed that years of public curiosity about their sibling bond is what inspired the new project, which promises to give fans a more personal look at their lives.
Venus Williams Opens Up About Public Fascination With Her Bond With Serena
Speaking with Marie Claire magazine, Venus explained that the idea behind the podcast came from the intense interest people have always had in the sisters’ dynamic. “There’s been kind of a fascination about Serena and I, right? Because we played [against] each other so many times and people were like: ‘How do they, like, get along? Do they really like each other? They’re just faking it,’” Venus said with a laugh.
“So we’re really excited to actually share more of ourselves. I don’t think a lot of people know that much about us when it really comes down to it, especially our dynamic together,” she added.
Announced in June 2025, the podcast will mark a new chapter for the legendary duo, who have spent decades sharing the world’s biggest tennis stages. The show will premiere exclusively on the social media platform X in August before being distributed to other platforms. It’s being produced through Serena’s Nine Two Six Productions, which she founded in 2023 as part of her growing presence in media.
The duo shared their thoughts on the new venture in a joint message to X Originals: “We’re so excited to be launching our new podcast, a place where we will share our personal stories, have authentic conversations, spotlight important topics, and laugh a lot.”
“This platform gives us the chance to engage directly with our fans who have supported us throughout our careers, and we’re excited to connect with audiences, old and new, in a way we’ve never done before.”
Mitchell Smith, who leads Original Content at X, also shared his thoughts on the project, stating: “Venus and Serena are among the most recognizable and revered athletes in the world, and their decision to team up with X places them at the center of our rapidly evolving original content strategy.”
“We’ve seen significant momentum with premium programming in 2025, and we look forward to building on this success. We could not be more excited to partner with them,” he added.
