Name a more iconic duo than Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian. They met each other for the first time in May 2015 over breakfast in Rome and that’s exactly where this special relationship started. The couple welcomed their first child, Olympia on September 1, 2017, and approximately eleven weeks since welcoming their first child, Williams and Ohanian tied the knot at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans on Nov 16. Last year, they celebrated their seventh anniversary, and Williams even shared an IG post with the caption, “7 years has gone so fast… Happy anniversary @alexisohanian thank you for being the best dad to our girls.” Ohanian responded to it saying, “Thanks for giving me the two greatest humans we’ve ever met. You’re an amazing mama. I’m very lucky to have met you.” Just like this, they’re often seen showcasing their love and admiration for each other through social media posts and recently, Williams was spotted gushing over her husband’s traditional looks.
Just a few days ago, Alexis Ohanian shared a picture of himself embracing the Scottish tradition by wearing a kilt, a garment that resembles a wrap-around, knee-length skirt. He captioned that post on his X handle with, “Went to a Scottish wedding in Edinburgh and showed everyone my Sgian Dubh (sounds like Skeeeen Doo!). Badass culture. No notes. Congrats, @GarvinLissie !!!” Scottish weddings are always a bit unique and special due to their unique blend of ancient Celtic traditions and modern customs, creating a deeply personal and memorable experience.
After seeing his post put on by Ohanian on his social media accounts, Lissie Garvin (supposedly the bride), who is also the Foundation and Fellowship Program Director at 776 Foundation, wrote, “Yesssss! You nailed it 10/10 .” Replying to her, Ohanian revealed, “Wife-approved photos to come!” Days after that post, finally, Serena Williams comes up with her own set of memorabilia. Talking about revisiting those moments from their memorable Scotland trip, Williams shared a picture of her posing alongside Alexis Ohanian in a stunning two-toned, lace beige and black dress with a scarf for the occasion.
She captioned that post with, “Dear Scotland! it was well worth seeing @AlexisOhanian in a kilt! What a stud! Thank you so much.” Talking about the kilt, the history of the garment worn by Scots, particularly during important events such as weddings, reportedly dates back to the 1600s.
In another post, Serena Williams was spotted standing in front of the iconic ‘The Red Bus’ and she captioned the post saying, “In Scotland, for a wedding and I’m still missing my time there! I was honored to be at my friend’s wedding. The Scots truly made this experience one for the books. .“
Talking about the place, even Ohanian had also previously dropped a tweet showcasing a glimpse of picturesque Scotland, wit the caption, “Beautiful “. Amidst attending the wedding of the Foundation and Fellowship Program Director at 776 Foundation, Serena Williams and her sister are also all set to start a new chapter in their careers. What’s it?

Talking about this podcast, the Williams sisters gave a joint statement saying, “We’re so excited to be launching our new podcast, a place where we will share our personal stories, have authentic conversations, spotlight important topics, and laugh a lot. This platform gives us the chance to engage directly with our fans who have supported us throughout our careers, and we’re excited to connect with audiences, old and new, in a way we’ve never done before.” So, Venus Williams tried her hands in a commentary role for the very first time during the French Open, Alexis Ohanian wore something during this Scottish trip that he has probably never worn before and now Serena Williams will partner with her elder sister to do something which she feels they’ve “never done before.” Share your thoughts on all these developments in the lives of these superstars.
