“We’re very lucky because Adira’s got a great personality, and Olympia does too. Watching them interact has been a special kind of fun,” Alexis Ohanian said last year, just three months before Adira’s first birthday. But beyond sisterly bonding with Olympia, Adira has brought immense joy and prosperity to the Ohanian family. From time to time, she has charmed fans, like last November, when Serena shared an adorable clip of the toddler running across a tennis court, ball in hand. And now, Alexis has shared yet another special moment involving Adira that serves as a reminder of just how fast she’s growing up!

The co-founder of Reddit, Alexis Ohanian, and the 23-time GS champion, Serena Williams, welcomed their first daughter, Olympia, the same year they exchanged vows, in 2017. Who could forget last year’s heartwarming moment when Alexis shared a glimpse of their wedding anniversary celebration on IG? Alongside a touching tribute to his beloved Serena, he posted a sweet family photo, but it was little Adira who stole the spotlight that time. As Serena cradled her youngest, and Olympia sat comfortably on her father’s lap, Adira’s adoring gaze remained fixed on her father, a precious moment that quickly melted hearts across the internet.

Before that, fans had only seen the back of Adira’s head in shared photos, until her parents finally gave the world a glimpse of her adorable face through a series of snapshots on her IG account, managed, of course, by Ohanian and Williams. Now, as she approaches her second birthday this year, Adira continues to charm. And recently,

A while back, Alexis Ohanian shared a series of snapshots along with a short video on his IG capturing Chelsea Women FC’s triumphant trophy celebration at the Subway Women’s League Cup. “Saturday morning football and family! @adiraohanian is running FAST these days,” he wrote.

While the 41-year-old highlighted his excitement, who was the true star of the clip? Of course, little Adira! The nearly two-year-old was seen running joyfully toward her father, Alexis – her face lit up with smiles and cheers as she soaked in the celebratory atmosphere. It was a heartwarming moment that perfectly blended family, sports, and pure happiness!

For those who may not know, after finishing as runners-up in the Subway Women’s League Cup Final for three consecutive years, Chelsea finally broke the streak, securing the trophy with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Manchester City. Following a 1-1 deadlock, Chelsea regained the advantage within the final fifteen minutes of play.  This was a result of Lucy Bronze’s tenacious play and a Ramirez cross that fortuitously deflected into the opponent’s net via Yui Hasegawa.

But beyond sharing the exhilarating triumph, Alexis Ohanian gave fans another heartwarming glimpse into fatherhood. This time, the spotlight shifted from little Adira to her older sister, Olympia.

What’s your perspective on:

Will Adira follow in Serena's footsteps, or is she carving her own path in sports?
