‘Didn’t Grow Up Going to Any Church’- Jehovah’s Witness Serena Williams’ Candid Confession Once on How She Influenced Husband Alexis Ohanian’s Religious Beliefs

American tennis legend Serena Williams found her perfect life partner in Alexis Ohanian. As a busy athlete, Serena was always on the tour. She needed someone who would understand the situation of her work and profession. Both Serena and Alexis have worked hard to reach where they are today. That is why they give equal importance to their careers.

Ohanian not only adjusted well but also fulfilled his duties as a father when Serena stayed on tour. However, there are more factors to a happy marriage than this. In an interview in 2017, Serena revealed how the two of them are aligning spiritually.

Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian aligning religiously

Serena is Jehovah’s witness and has, time and again, spoken about the importance of religion in her life. On the other hand, she claimed that her husband Alexis Ohanian is not a very religious person. Here’s what she said about it in an old interview.

“He’s extremely smart, but not a know-it-all. He’s curious about what he doesn’t know. Being a Jehovah’s Witness is important to me, but I’ve never really practiced it and have been wanting to get into it. Alexis didn’t grow up going to any church, but he’s really receptive and even takes the lead. He puts my needs first,” she added.
