The fans seem to consistently like the updates shared by the Serena Williams family related to their personal lives. It has been seven long years since the tennis legend became a mother and both parents have been learning new things every other day. Holding the offspring for the very first time is a rare moment and every parent remembers it till their last breath. As for Alexis Ohanian, the experience was pleasant, yet in a very funny way.

Co-founder of Reddit and husband to tennis superstar Serena Williams, Alexis Ohanian recently shared an adorable yet humorous moment from the first day of his fatherhood journey. In the latest episode of the Tennis Channel Live Podcast, Alexis shared the mic with famous comedian Paul Scheer. While the adorable cast was enough to gather the attention of fans, the agenda focused on parenting adventures added another layer of intrigue to the show.

Delving into the details about how it all began, Alexis remembered his very first experience with diaper changing, which happened shortly after their first daughter Olympia was born. As a new dad and an only child, Alexis had never even seen a diaper before. However, this lack of experience didn’t stop him from stepping up when it was needed the most. “I had never seen a diaper until Olympia’s first change in the hospital room,” he admitted.

The moment was made even more challenging because Serena, exhausted from childbirth, was passed out and unable to assist. He turned to a nurse for help and instruction: “Serena was passed out and I asked the nurse, I was like, ‘Hey, you’re gonna have to show me how to do this.'” He didn’t stop there but continued to take on diaper duty for long. “It was a source of pride that I didn’t just do her first, but did a whole hell of a lot of them,” he said with a smile.

It has been seven long years since both Serena Williams and Alexis have been embracing the challenges of parenting. Be it Olympia’s mess-ups or the small accomplishments that make them proud, the couple never stopped and therefore continues to set new goals for the younger ones out there. This way, their journey has been a perfect blend of laughter, hardships, and pride.

Serena Williams has come a long way with Alexis Ohanian. The journey that started with their marriage came across the decision to say goodbye to the sport and finally to the day when she adores a family of four. Recently, Serena shared a picture on her Instagram in which Olympia can be seen carrying her little sister Adira in her arms.

Olympia, who has now touched the mark of 7, felt responsible enough to take charge of her duties as an elder sister and therefore was captured in a moment that was loved by the fans. “Big sister hard at work with baby sis,” the tennis legend captioned her post. As the adorable family continues to grow with a million stories to be narrated, fans also stay loyal to their love for the chemistry along with learning new things from the couple.
