Inside Serena Williams’ Relationship With Her 9 Siblings
Fans know Serena Williams‘ sister is fellow tennis superstar Venus Williams. But the Williams sisters have quite a few other siblings as well. Here’s more on Serena’s not-so-famous brothers and sisters and what we know about her relationship with them.
Yetunde Price is one of Serena Williams’ siblings
Serena and Venus share the same mother and father. However, their mom, Oracene Price, had three daughters from her first marriage to Yusef Rasheed.
Yetunde Price, who was the oldest of their mother’s five children, was murdered on Sept. 14, 2003. Price and her boyfriend, Rolland Wormley, were shot in their SUV outside of a suspected drug house in Compton, California. Both the prosecutor and the defense said that Yetunde was an innocent victim and that neither she nor her companion were in the area to buy drugs.
Southside Crips member Robert Edward Maxfield was arrested for the murder and charged with voluntary manslaughter in 2006. He was sentenced to 15 years behind bars but let out after 12 for good behavior.
“No matter what, my sister is not coming back for good behavior,” Serena said in an interview (per Marie Claire) after she found out that Maxfield had been released from prison early. “It’s unfair that she’ll never have an opportunity to hug me.”
Before her death, Yetunde and her half-sister were very close. She even worked as Serena’s personal assistant.
Isha Price and Lyndrea Price are also Serena Williams’ sisters
Serena is tight with her mother’s other children, Isha Price and Lyndrea Price, as well. In fact, Isha Price is an attorney and handles a lot of Venus and Serena’s business affairs.
Serena has her own clothing line and Lyndrea Price shares her sister’s love for fashion. She works in merchandising as a fashion creative production stylist.
Serena previously posted about her close bond with her sisters writing on Instagram: “My mom raised 5 women (one passed) and 3 grandchildren. They are not afraid to tell me anything, after all I am the youngest of 5. I’m so happy Olympia has my mom as her grandma (of course she has Alexis Stepmom as well) and I’m happy she has aunts like my sisters Venus , Isha , Lyn and Alexis’ sisters Amy and Hayley.”
