Meghan Markle and Serena Williams' friendship: A timeline of their unbreakable bond

Meghan Markle recently delighted fans by sharing a glimpse of her close friend and tennis legend Serena Williams playing with her children at home. 

This heartwarming moment has reignited public interest in their long-standing friendship, with many revisiting old blog posts where the former royal detailed their deep connection.

According to Hello Magazine, the Duchess of Sussex and the 23-time Grand Slam champion first crossed paths at the 2010 Super Bowl. However, it wasn’t until they met again at the 2014 Super Bowl that their friendship truly blossomed.

Before joining the royal family, Meghan frequently wrote about her life on her now-defunct lifestyle blog, The Tig. In one of her posts, she reflected on her bond with Williams, describing her as a trusted confidante and a close friend she could rely on. Meghan recalled how they bonded over their shared interests in fashion, hot sauces, and their drive to push boundaries.

“She quickly became a confidante I would text when I was traveling, the friend I would rally around for her tennis matches, and the down-to-earth chick I was able to grab lunch with just a couple of weeks ago in Toronto,” Meghan wrote.

Beyond their shared interests, Meghan emphasized that their friendship was rooted in their mutual ambition and determination to exceed expectations.

Their close bond has stood the test of time, with Meghan publicly supporting Williams throughout her career. In 2017, when Williams was expecting her first child, Meghan spoke to Vogue and expressed her excitement about her friend’s journey into motherhood.

“She will be an amazing mom. The very best, because she is so attuned to balancing strength and sensitivity. Plus, given that she is pretty epic at karaoke, I think she’ll put her signature Serena spin on singing lullabies for the baby. I can’t wait for that!” Meghan shared.

From cheering each other on in their respective careers to standing by each other through major life changes, Meghan and Serena Williams’ friendship remains a testament to the power of strong female bonds. Fans continue to admire their unwavering support for one another, making their relationship one of the most talked-about celebrity friendships today.
