The fans never get tired of the updates from the adorable couple, Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian. Be it their parenting adventures or their sports interests, the couple never falls short of stories for the fans. But did you know that Alexis has a thing for collecting rookie cards as well?
Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit and husband to tennis legend Serena Williams, has been giving out several aspects of his obsession with collecting trading cards. Even in the middle of glamorous events like the Met Gala or while speaking at Robin Hood NYC, he’s preoccupied with bidding on these cherished items!
Ohanian admitted that his hobby has overtaken his closet, which isn’t really appreciated by Serena. “For a while, my closet was overtaken by cards,” Ohanian confessed. “Serena was like … ‘Can you do something about this?’ The ratio of clothes to cards in my closet is still not good. By definition, I’m not sure it’s a closet anymore.”

According to a friend of Ohanian named Jackson, the entrepreneur’s liking for card collecting brings out moments where one might least expect it. “This dude’s at the Met Gala with his Bored Ape pin talking to Lewis Hamilton and he’s texting me about Serena cards,” Jackson revealed.
As Ohanian revealed the details of his barely-discussed interest, it not only gave out another aspect of his liking for sports but also another chapter to the chronicles of card collection. However, this wasn’t the only time when Alexis socially announced the depth of his interest.
