In a recent post on Instagram, Alexis Ohanian, husband of Serena Williams, posted a picture of him with his parents and daughter, standing on the golf course.
He captioned the post as well. He said that he had a great time ‘Putting’ with Olympia and that they made the courses with finesse. There was also a funny remark on the caption that addressed the man behind designing the golf course. It was none other than the golf legend, Tiger Woods himself.
Ohanian wrote, “Fantastic day of putting with @OlympiaOhanian and my folks 💪⛳️ @popstroke is well executed @tigerwoods — I have some feedback on the app tho 😏.”
However, the comment section turned to a different light after one user left a comment about his family.

The user said that the genes of the Ohanian lineage are strong. @Thenewwife commented: “Ohanian genes are quite strong”. The comment prompted Ohanian to reply about the tragedy of the Armenian genocide. “🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲 they tried to bury us but we’re seeds,” signifying that even after the tragedy, people of Armenian descent will thrive as they did.
This wasn’t the first time Ohanian was reminded of Armenian roots
While Alexis Ohanian is proud of his roots, Joe Manganiello, husband of Sofia Vergara, further inspired him to explore them. Manganiello tried to get in touch with his roots in the PBS genealogy show ‘Finding Your Roots’. After reading the post about it on Twitter, it inspired Ohanian to do the same.
