Lyndrea Price is a creative costume designer for Venus' clothing brand, Eleven.
Isha Price is an American lawyer and producer. She is one of the producers of 'King Richard,' a film following the father and coach of famed tennis players and daughters.
Serena and Venus also have at least seven half-siblings on their father’s side: Sabrina, Richard III, Ronner, Reluss, and Reneeka with former wife, Betty Johnson, Dylan with recently divorced wife, Lakeisha Juanita Graham, and son Chavoita LeSane.
Richard Williams had Serena and Venus with Oracene Price.
They divorced in 2002 after allegations of domestic abuse, which Richard denied.
Richard walked out on daughter Sabrina and her four siblings when she was only eight years old.
Richard, who has been married three times in his life, married Sabrina's late mom, Betty Johnson, in the early 1960s.
Sabrina Williams, half-sister of Serena and Venus has slammed the biopic King Richard saying he was "only a king in his head," she told the U.S. Sun in an exclusive 2022 interview.
"Truth be told, those girls rose to the top while his other children had to suffer because of the choices my dad made, we were raised in poverty after he left," Sabrina added.
Who are Venus and Serena Williams?
Serena is often regarded as the best female player in the history of tennis, but Venus, too, has cemented herself as a legendary tennis champion.
The sister-duo has made quite a name for themselves.
Venus has earned 49 singles titles, seven Grand Slam titles, and four gold medals. She also is reported to be worth around $95 million.
Serena's net worth, on the other hand, is estimated to be around $260 million, as of July 2024, according to Forbes.
She is one of the world's richest tennis players and launched her own clothing line, S by Serena, in 2018.
Serena has won the second most Grand Slam titles of all time, with 23 Grand Slam tournament victories.
However, on August 9, 2022, Serena announced her plans to retire after the upcoming US Open in a first-person piece in Vogue.
"I’m turning 41 this month, and something’s got to give," she told the outlet.
"I have never liked the word retirement. It doesn’t feel like a modern word to me. I’ve been thinking of this as a transition, but I want to be sensitive about how I use that word, which means something very specific and important to a community of people.
"Maybe the best word to describe what I’m up to is evolution. I’m here to tell you that I’m evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me."
Serena officially called an end to her tennis career in August 2022 after a stunning 27-year stint on the court.
Serena is married to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. The couple married in 2017 and share two daughters, Olympia and Adira.
