When parents’ attention gets divided among siblings, what does one feel? For Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian and his wife Serena Williams’ elder daughter, Olympia, this shift has brought jealousy! Once known as her father’s sole “apple of the eye,” Olympia now has to share her dad’s intense love with her baby sister, Adira. Olympia’s emotion to this new dynamic has brought a playful response from her father, whose cheeky confession only reaffirms how priceless his role is in his elder daughter’s life.
Ohanian has two children with his legendary wife, Serena Williams: Olympia and Adira. Olympia is seven years old, while Adira turned one a few months ago. Olympia and Adira’s father, Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian, is deeply dedicated to his children’s well-being and upbringing. He is known for his charming Papa Pancakes tradition, in which he makes delicious Sunday breakfast pancakes of various shapes and sizes for Olympia. Recently, Ohanian’s toddler Adira was introduced to this tradition, with her big sister helping their father in the process. It showcased her love for her younger sister. Olympia’s affection for Adira has often been shared by their parents, especially Alexis Ohanian. However, he recently revealed a quirky yet adorable fact about his children that delighted his followers.
The tech entrepreneur tweeted an intriguing detail about his elder daughter Olympia’s quirky attitude: “She did! Brought this on herself. TBH Deedee is the one who gets jealous more often,” he wrote. Although Ohanian didn’t provide any context, the reference to “Deedee” hints at Olympia in all probability. This isn’t Ohanian’s first lighthearted revelation. Only a few days ago, he shared a photo on the IG platform with his two daughters and described how he carries both girls upstairs together to avoid upsetting his eldest. “Uppy^2 (Or else someone gets jealous),” Ohanian captioned the post, giving another glimpse into their adorable family dynamics.

Although lovingly jealous, Olympia “LOVES being a big sister,” revealed her mother Serena Williams while discussing the bond between her daughters. She also said Olympia always “prayed for a sister” when she got to know about her mother’s pregnancy.
However, there is more to Olympia and Adira’s bond. In May, Ohanian talked about Olympia’s special feelings for her baby sister and confessed he knows already that his children might fight over things when they grow up. However, he also seemed unbothered by this completely normal bonding between his daughters.

Alexis Ohanian revealed how Olympia acted like a mother to Adira
When Ohanian was interviewed by People Magazine about the launch of his podcast Business Dad, he revealed many interesting details about his family, especially the relationship between Olympia and Adira. This Reddit co-founder talked about Olympia’s maternal spirit for her baby sister. “She’s able to have a lot more fun with her sister in terms of playing. You can already see the interactions between them. It’s a big age gap, and Olympia has a little bit of that maternal spirit. She’s like, ‘This is my baby,’ and it’s great to see them together,” he shared. Ohanian’s revelation warmed the fraternity’s heart about a pure sisterhood between his two kids.
However, Ohanian also talked about the fun side of this sisterhood. “They play and sort wrestle and all that. We’re very lucky because Adira’s got a great personality and Olympia does too, plus she’s so excited to be a big sis. So seeing the two of them interact with each other has been a special kind of fun,” he said while joking about how he knows “at some point they’re going to fight over things,” but for now he doesn’t wanna be bothered about it.
