Serena Williams’ Daughter Olympia’s Quirky Food Habit Sparks Unlikely Pride in Father Alexis Ohanian

Serena Williams’ seven-year-old daughter, Olympia, is a known foodie. She is extremely fond of peculiar dishes like pancakes. On most of the weekends, Olympia’s father and Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian dons the chef’s hat and can be seen preparing the famous ‘Papa Pancakes’ for Olympia. “Papa pancakes feeds and teaches you how to read,” Williams once stated as pancakes served a dual role of taste and knowledge for Olympia. While Olympia’s love for food needs no explanation, her wonderful food habit will leave you in awe.

Olympia’s parents never fail to show off some amazing glimpses of their daughters’ lives. On this occasion, Ohanian took to his official Instagram handle and displayed the wonderful habit possessed by Olympia. At a time when a large chunk of the world’s population is going malnourished, Olympia’s baby steps are in the right direction to prevent this issue from escalating further.

Sharing a story on his official Instagram handle, Ohanian and Olympia can be seen enjoying food near a bonfire. As Olympia took a bite, she murmured, “I don’t like wasting food.” Ohanian was left impressed with Olympia’s humility and replied, “Yeah we don’t wanna waste food.” It is often said that children learn manners from their parents so a large portion of the credit goes to Williams and Ohanian, who have been instrumental in instilling good manners in their daughters.

While Olympia displayed a good habit when it came to food, Ohanian also admitted to having a rather mischievous habit when it came to food and children. During a talk show, Williams asked Ohanian, “Who’s more likely to eat food off of our kids’ plates?” The Reddit co-founder admitted that he was the guilty among the two, saying, “It’s called the ‘Papa Tax. You don’t know about it, now you do. Papa pays for the food, he gets to snack as much as he wants. The job of the Papa is to provide and to snack off kids’ plates. We had learned that at an early age.”

However, the eating habit of not wasting food isn’t the only value instilled by Williams and Ohanian in their daughter. Earlier this year, Ohanian also taught Olympia an important societal habit.

When Serena Williams’ husband advised Olympia not to take a crucial habit for granted

Early in November, the United States went to voting. While Olympia is still young to cast her vote, the importance of this process has already been explained to her by her parents. As a result, Ohanian doesn’t want Olympia to take voting rights for granted when she grows up.

Talking on this matter, the Reddit co-founder said, “Olympia’s big question last night was about voting. I explained what a miraculous (YOUNG) experiment our republic is in the timeline of humanity (and we didn’t get it perfect from the start but we are always working to improve it – like fighting to make sure girls — especially Black girls like her — could vote) and how RARE a society with prolonged free and fair elections AND peaceful transitions of power is. Do not take these for granted.”

It is heartening to see how Williams and Ohanian go all out to instill good values in their daughter. Well, the effects of it can already be seen as shared by Ohanian today about Olympia not liking wasting food.
