Is Alexis Ohanian redefining fatherhood by prioritizing family over business success?

Alexis Ohanian may be a busy entrepreneur, but when it comes to family, he’s always front and center — especially with his daughters. Serena Williams’ husband has never shied away from putting his love for his daughters on display often posting about their sweet moments together. Recently, it’s his older daughter, Olympia who’s hogging the attention – tossing some playful digs right back at her dad. Their father-daughter banter is full of love and humor proving that Alexis isn’t just admired; he’s also a willing target for Olympia’s adorable teasing!

The ‘Business Dad’ took to his Instagram story on Friday evening to share some hilarious conversations with his daughter. As he sips on some beverage, he gets playfully trolled by her 7-year-old who takes sharp digs at him over his age. The way the rest of the conversation unfolds is hard to skip. 

In the video, Ohanian can be heard asking Olympia, “My good old days? Is that what I sound like? I was still young, Olympia.” On hearing this, his daughter started to make some weird sound, which was clearly a jibe at his comment about being ‘young.’ “ I’m only 41,” Ohanian continued. But Olympia was quick to respond as she denied the claims saying, “No you are not, you are 50.” This seemingly left Reddit co-founder shocked.

I’m not 50 Olympia, I’m 41,” Ohanian said vehemently as surprise was palpable on his face. Olympia finally seemed to agree with her father, though half-heartedly, and said, “Okay, Okay.” Interestingly, this is not the first time when Ohanian has witnessed such a situation, – he has been teased by his 7-year-old daughter before as well. 

 

In an Instagram story that Alexis Ohanian put in May this year, he revealed his adorable interaction with her daughter. He shared a screenshot of his FaceTiming with Olympia, where Serena Williams’ firstborn can be seen picking a bunny character as her face and attempting to tease her father.

Speaking in the interview, the ‘Business Dad’ said, “I have business folks I work with. I have got guys who sincerely think I am not nearly as committed as I am to success at work because they know that side of my persona. And it’s so wild, because I’m like, bro I know I outwork you, I know my returns are better than you. But I think it’s cute that you have this idea that I can’t be showing up for my kids, making some pancakes, and also show up to beat your a–.” Doesn’t that sum it all up?
