The Williams sister better get ready for a new addition to the family - a stepmom their age.

It's one thing to rob the cradle.

But is it really a good idea to marry a younger woman who might have been in the same nursery as your kids?

Well Richard Williams, the obnoxious dad of tennis superstars Venus and Serena, is allegedly engaged to a woman who is half his age and only a couple of years older than his famous daughters.

Maybe the Williams sisters can design clothes with their new stepmom. Who knows, she probably shares their same fashionable tastes.

Richard Williams, 67, was caught by Page2Live.com, a gossip website based in West Palm Beach, shopping with his new fiancee, 30-year-old Lakeisha Graham. He introduced the woman as his wife-to-be.

"We'll probably do it after the tournament in Key Biscayne," said Williams, referring to the Sony Ericsson Open later this month.

He divorced from Serena and Venus' mother. Oracene, in 2002.

No word yet on how Venus, 28, and Serena, 27, feel about the engagement, but let's hope Graham can return a 120-mph serve.
