Alexis Ohanian isn’t just a business mogul, he’s a true family man at heart. Time and again, he has melted hearts with his sweet and emotional sentiments about his family, proving that no matter how high he climbs in the business world, it’s Serena Williams and their two daughters who truly complete him. In his latest heartfelt statement, Ohanian once again reminded everyone that his most cherished roles are being a husband to Serena and a dad to Olympia and their newest little bundle of joy.

Ohanian engaged in an interview with the host Gayle King for Radio Andy and expressed his immense love for his family. He opened up about being married to Serena Williams and having two daughters, Olympia and Adira, and revealed how it helped him shape his worldview and think again about even the simplest of ideas he had about things. 

Speaking in the interview, Ohanian said, “I know I am better at my job from the perspective that it gives me. I also know being blessed to have two daughters, two black daughters in particular helps me reframe even some of the most subtle things.” Ohanian and Williams tied the knot in 2016 and welcomed their elder daughter Olympia a year later in 2017. The couple welcomed their younger daughter Adira in 2023, just a year after the tennis great retired from the arena to grow her family. Continuing further, the Reddit Co-founder expressed his admiration for Williams and highlighted how he gets to learn several things from her as well. 

Chatting further in the interview, Ohanian shared, “It just feels good. And then yes, to be married to someone who has done so much and still has to combat all kinds of ugly things, it is just a reminder of how much more needs to happen.” Serena has often opened up about discrimination and the struggles she faced on the tour during her career and one such incident was witnessed during the Paris Olympics. 

Serena Williams was on a trip to Paris during the Olympics this year. But what followed outside the tennis courts was quite shocking for her. The Star player claimed that she along with her daughters Olympia and Adira were restricted from entering The Peninsula, a lavish restaurant. Taking to her X, the former American player wrote, “Yikes @peninsulaparis I’ve been denied access to the rooftop to eat in a empty restaurant of nicer places 🫠 but never with my kids. Always a first. 🙄#Olympic2024.”  

Ohanian has always called Serena an inspiration, not just for what she achieved in her career on-court, but also for how she dealt with difficult situations off-court. But, apart from Serena, Ohanian often talks about her daughters in his interviews as well. The business mogul engaged in a conversation with a restaurateur and chef, José Andrés for the June 16th episode of Business Dad Podcast.

Speaking in that interview, he said, “As a fellow girl dad, you know, I don’t know if we’ll have more kids. Maybe you know, God willing, but uh, with two daughters, I have my whole worldview turned upside down. And it was so eye-opening and I love it. They are such sweet, kind, wonderful creatures. I just love them.” It is for this love and admiration that Ohanian did not even hesitate to take his daughter to his workplace as well.

From spending leisurely time at home to taking his daughter to their favorite places, Ohanian has continued to raise the bar and has set interesting dad goals. He even took his elder daughter Olympia to his workplace, as seen at Athlos NYC, an all-women sporting event.

Olympia accompanied her father to the grand opening of Athlos NYC on September 26. She was even spotted with him during an interview where the ‘Business Dad’ heaped praises on her. When quizzed about Olympia’s personality, Ohanian said, “Olympia is easily the most amazing little human I have met and she’s a great big sister.” He also gave credit to his wife for the role that she played in their lives.

“The one credit that I gotta give, Serena is an amazing mom, and one of the things we do is just really prioritize, just trying to show up for our kids,and it’s a great way to say take your daughter to work.” As Ohanian continues to play a crucial role in the upbringing of his children, it would be interesting to see what more surprises he has in store for them. It will also be fascinating to witness the extra efforts that he has continued to make for them, ensuring the best for his family.
