It is a well-known fact that Alexis Ohanian, the husband of Serena Williams, is a family man who values the people in his life. Considering how much his parents have contributed to his career, he always makes time to value his relationship with them. And yesterday, on Mother’s Day, the Reddit co-founder remembered his mother, whom he lost nearly 15 years ago.
Most of his fans don’t know anything about Ohanian’s family, unlike the family of the American tennis legend. However, the 40-year-old American businessman usually finds the right moment to reveal important details about his family to his fans.

Love your mama every day! After I sold @Reddit, my mom passed, + I had enough to dedicate a chair at @UVA for her (Front of the class! Where she'd have sat if she'd gone to college). I think she'd be so excited for the @776Foundation + she'd have LOVED being a grandma (2x!) pic.twitter.com/lm8YdcBHAd
