Serena Williams recently brought to Venus Williams' attention a secret they shared about cockroach milk from their childhood.

Serena Williams was born in Saginaw, Michigan. Her family moved to Compton, California, where she began playing tennis at the age of 4. They remained there until she was 9 when they moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, so that she and her sister Venus Williams could be part of Rick Macci's tennis academy.

On Saturday, the 42-year-old shared a picture on her Instagram story of a cockroach in a glass of milk, with the caption claiming that cockroach milk is three times more nutritious than cow's milk. Serena Williams then humorously tagged sister Venus in the post, recalling that while they were in Compton, it was a secret they shared together.

“@venuswilliams all that time in Compton we had the secret now everyone knows lol j/k,” Serena captioned the picture.
