Can parenting be fun? For Alexis Ohanian, the answer is a resounding yes! The Reddit co-founder has mastered the art of making family time special, especially with his pancake tradition shared with his elder daughter, Olympia. Last month, he hilariously reflected on this new phase of life, saying, “Growing up is being the 41-year-old making Sunday breakfast at 7 am, feeding your kids, playing with them, cleaning up—all while your retired dad + step mom are still ‘waking up’ to come over. What a life!” The cherished Papa Pancake ritual in the Ohanian household has returned, but with a twist. This time, the father-daughter duo seems to have taken their pancake fun outdoors, combining it with their favorite weekend sport.
The Ohanian family has long embraced the heartwarming Pancake tradition on Sundays – a ritual passed to Alexis Ohanian by his father, Chris Ohanian. What started as simple breakfast moments in the family soon became a canvas of creativity, especially after Olympia joined in on the fun. The tradition grew even more meaningful last year, when Adira, the youngest daughter, officially became part of the pancake legacy.
Fast forward to today, and the Pancake tradition continues to evolve. Olympia, now 7 years old, seems to be taking the reins! In recent glimpses shared by Ohanian, she appears to be leading the weekend fun, flipping pancakes and playing her favorite weekend sport.
Moments ago, Alexis Ohanian gave fans a cozy peek into his weekend via a carousel of IG pictures, simply captioning it, “Weekend!!!” But the post was anything but simple: it told a full story of joy, bonding, and some serious cooking skills. The first image showed Olympia, with all her focus and flair, teeing off on the familiar green. Then came the pancake prep: flour, eggs, and all the essentials neatly laid out. The third slide revealed a perfectly formed pancake already sizzling to life.
But Olympia wasn’t done yet, though. In the fourth photo, the 7-year-old was seen confidently manning an outdoor grill, butter in hand, flames dancing around as she worked on what looked like a juicy steak. The feast continued with fresh strawberries making an appearance, followed by a mouthwatering video of that same steak, now beautifully cooked in the oven in bright daylight. Now that’s what we call a perfect weekend spread.
Even last week, Serena Williams’ husband warmed hearts online by sharing a sweet video of himself and Olympia flipping pancakes together. Captioned, “Jr was working that griddle this morning! #PapaPancakes about to be OlympiaPancakes,” the post highlighted just how much Olympia is embracing the family’s beloved tradition.
But the proud dad of two didn’t stop there as he later took to X, where he’s always active and engaging, to repost the same video alongside two adorable snapshots of their pancake creations. This time, he added an extra layer of love to the storytelling: “Jr was working that griddle this morning! #PapaPancakes about to be OlympiaPancakes — what a great big sister,” Ohanian wrote.
Olympia is growing up fast. And Papa Ohanian is beaming with pride. The 41-year-old recently melted over her pure heart during a fishing trip that turned unexpectedly heartwarming.
“Sweet girl,” Olympia’s heartfelt gesture makes Papa Ohanian proud while fishing
Back in January this year, a proud Alexis Ohanian couldn’t hold back his joy as he watched his little girl, Olympia, try her hand at golf. “So proud of this girl,” he wrote. But it’s not just Olympia’s athletic ability that tugs at Ohanian’s heartstrings: it’s her pure, kindhearted nature that truly moves him.
A passionate fishing enthusiast, Ohanian often takes to the water to relax and bond with nature. Lately, Olympia has been joining her dad on these outdoor adventures as well. On Saturday, April 5, Ohanian shared a sweet update on his X account, posting, “Caught a snook off the dock! Three catfish today, too.”
But it was Olympia who stole the show again, with her dad proudly sharing, “Olympia caught the first one in about 3 minutes.” In classic dad humor, he added, “Why does it always happen like this?”
However, what came next was even more special for the father. When Olympia realized the fish she caught was a catfish, her tender heart kicked in. “Olympia immediately made us throw her catfish back — sweet girl.” Ohanian shared in a follow-up post, touched by Olympia’s compassion. It was a small yet meaningful moment that beautifully reflected her empathy and gentle spirit.
Ohanian’s bond with his daughter is deeply inspiring: a heartfelt example of the joy and strength that being a dad brings.
