The Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian is a renowned entrepreneur and businessman. But one more tag attached to him is something that boosts his popularity to a large scale and that is, the husband of tennis legend Serena Williams. The duo has attracted a new trend on social media concerning Barbie-Ken. After the announcement of Greta Gerwig’s movie ‘Barbie’ featuring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, fans have used a creative trend to mock Ohanian and other power couples.

The trend focuses on couples where the female is vibrant and powerful, while their counterparts lack the same. However, there are a lot of fans who do not agree that Ohanian is Ken in their Barbie-Ken comparison.

The Reddit co-founder is definitely not someone who does not have a vibrant aura of his own. From being an amazing husband to an unbelievable father, Ohanian has done it all. This is the reason fans are having his back after someone made a hilarious Barbie-Ken comparison of the couple.

Ohanian shared the screenshot of the tweet on his Instagram and stated, “Y’all are hilarious for this.” However, Williams and Ohanian’s fans were not ready to agree with the comparison. One fan hailed his role as a father and a husband and stated, “He is such a supportive dad and husband, if he is Ken, I want Ken!”

Another fan took a dig at his haters and stated, “Haters can drink hater-aid all day long, but they can never change who you are. Thank you for loving our queen!” Another fan hailed Williams’ choice and stated, “I mean Serena did not pick a slouch. You are coming in HOT!” Ohanian knows how to slay both on and off the red carpet.

However, even in the picture he shared on his Instagram, he had Williams’ crypto punk on his collar. That is the kind of husband he is.

Another fan saw the silver lining in the comparison and stated, “Armenian Ken! YAAs!!!”, the other one gave a reply with a trending phrase, “HES A GOOD MAN SAVANNAH.” Yet another fan commented, “She picked a real one. He supports her unequivocally and is a secure man. He’s successful all on his own and is a good family man. Jokes on whoever wrote that…”
