Does Alexis Ohanian's tribute to Serena Williams make her the greatest athlete-mom of all time?

Serena Williams‘ husband, Alexis Ohanian, never misses a beat to appreciate his remarkable wife. He always expresses his respect for her, whether it be for her incredible tennis accomplishments or her advocacy for significant causes. Ohanian recently thanked the 23-time Grand Slam champion profusely, referring to her as a “superhero” for bringing their daughters, Olympia and Adira, into their lives.

In a recent episode of ‘Business Dad’, the Reddit co-founder appreciated his wife for being the woman who brought happiness into his life. Talking about Serena’s influence, Ohanian stated, “I won’t say it out loud, but I’ll explicitly remind myself this woman, gave birth to the two most amazing things in your world. so even though you just got comfortable, you just sat down to the bed and she asked you to grab something. Just get up and go do it, just just go do it.”

Further, he added, “This woman’s a superhero and it’s not for the tennis stuff, it’s not for all the other things. it’s because I mean it is but the real reason Is because these two humans are the greatest gift I could have ever gotten. And like, I will always always feel indebted for that, because I didn’t do anything. I mean, I showed up for, you know, a few minutes, it was great work, but I really didn’t do anything.”
