But Alexis gave the perfect response. He told the fan that Olympia would not be missing out because they celebrated her life all year round.
Alexis wrote:
“I’m not a Witness, but I considered how made up it all is: the purpose of celebrating a birthday is to celebrate life with the people who love you (and to eat cake).
This baby is loved and will get to celebrate life with people who love her *plenty* of times, with plenty of parties (and eat cake — in moderation) throughout her life.”
A number of his followers praised him for his reply and said they agree with his reasoning.
Serena Williams already revealed earlier that they will not be celebrating their daughter’s birthday because of her Jehovah’s Witness beliefs.
