A life beyond the sport. Serena Williams, mother of two, felt that before she called time on her career in 2022. And, her husband Alexis Ohanian, can’t get enough of flaunting their parenting adventures. While he often creates highlights for his eldest daughter Olympia, the Reddit co-founder thought it was best to put his youngest daughter Adira in the frame. A supportive dad, naturally. For those unaware, the star couple welcomed their second daughter on August 23, having announced their pregnancy at the backdrop of the 2023 Met Gala.
Since then, the 23-time Slam winner regularly updates fans with her latest outings with Adira. Only this time, instead of taking her for a joyride on the tennis court, her husband stepped in to upload a cute video of their one-year-old baby girl Adira on Instagram. The adorable clip showed his youngest daughter playing with her Barbie and dressing up her dolls in a stunning fashion sense which she inherited from her WTA legend mother.
Thanks to Ohanian’s commanding grip over investments, Olympia and Adira have already become multi-millionaires. The tech-savvy personality revealed investing $250K into Angel City FC from his daughter’s trust, and keeping an open-minded approach towards them and his wife, Williams is what keeps him going.
Then, Williams has been largely involved in promoting her business commitments. Apart from managing her venture capital firm, Serena Ventures, the American trailblazer also takes time to speculate top-tier tour-level events. She even marked attendance at the US Open last year, where she shared the backstage with compatriots Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, and Coco Gauff.
They may run businesses like a boss, but at home, she and Alexis bring that same energy to parenting—just with fewer board meetings and more bedtime stories.
Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian: Parenting, but make it fun
Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian don’t just dominate in their careers—they bring that same energy to parenting. Serena believes in letting kids be kids, embracing their wild side instead of constantly reining them in. But you got to balance, so, Alexis takes a “gentle-ish” approach, talking to his daughter, not at her. He even prepped for fatherhood by crowd-sourcing advice on Reddit—like sleeping with a baby blanket so it smells like him.
They’re also intentional about raising Olympia in a digital world. Serena limits screen time. And Alexis? He’s all about fair play. He’s made it clear that Olympia won’t be chasing a career in sports unless female athletes get paid what they deserve. There’s heart and a whole lot of hustle, the way the couple is raising their daughter their way.
