Tennis legend Serena Williams has shown that she maintains close relationships with her family.

The athlete posted a video on her Instagram page featuring her with her mom.

In the video, Serena is about to pose for a photo with her mom, but her husband, Alexis Ohanian, unexpectedly bursts into the frame, causing the women to smile and burst into laughter.

Let’s recall that the couple met 10 years ago, in 2015. As they themselves said, their meeting happened completely by chance but over time grew into something truly serious. Alexis and Serena announced their engagement in December 2016 and got married in 2017.

By the time of their wedding, they had already welcomed their daughter Olympia, who was born in September 2017. Their second child, also a daughter, Adira, was born in August 2023.

It’s worth noting that Serena recently starred with her daughters in an advertisement for the children’s clothing brand Janie and Jack, for which she created her own collection.

Let’s add that Alexis Ohanian is a businessman, one of the co-founders of the popular website Reddit, which combines features of a social network and a forum.

Looks like there’s a new rockstar in the Ohanian-Williams household!

While the world has been long acquainted with little Olympia and her #PapaPancakes shenanigans with her father, with Adira’s arrival, the fun has clearly doubled. But before we get to that…

For the unversed: Born on August 15, 2023, Adira was introduced to the world on social media by her father just days after the birth, in a post that read, “I’m grateful to report our house is teaming with love: a happy & healthy newborn girl and happy & healthy mama. Feeling grateful. @serenawilliams you’ve now given me another incomparable gift — you’re the GMOAT. I’ll never forget the moment I introduced @olympiaohanian to her baby sister.”

Notably, the couple announced their pregnancy at that year’s Met Gala, with Ohanian later revealing how big sister Olympia was the most excited, “She’s been wanting this. She’s been praying and asking about this for quite some time, so she’s very ready.” While the world was awaiting to get formally introduced to the toddler, the Reddit co-founder finally did that on her first birthday.

“Oh hello there. I know it’s been over a year but I’m just getting to this,” the caption read, with a carousel of photos showing the little girl in her adorable element. Ever since then, the younger daughter of the household has been a staple on her parents’ social media, alongside her sister.

On February 27, though, we got to see another playful side of Adira. On Instagram Stories, her father shared a clip from Adira’s profile where she was hilariously seen covering her Barbie with a blanket to put her to sleep. “I can play with dolls too,” the caption read.

And, as expected, it wasn’t long before her mother jumped in to add an endearing, “Awwww I love you so much”. Notably, this comes weeks after the tennis superstar had shared some fun pictures of the mommy-daughter duo enjoying on the beach at a tropical location. Sharing a string of photos where Adira seemed completely enamored, while dipping her toes in the ocean, the caption read, “My mini mini @adiraohanian wanted to take a dip in the ocean. I could not say no.”

Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian don’t just dominate in their careers—they bring that same energy to parenting. Serena believes in letting kids be kids, embracing their wild side instead of constantly reining them in. But you got to balance, so, Alexis takes a “gentle-ish” approach, talking to his daughter. He even prepped for fatherhood by crowd-sourcing advice on Reddit—like sleeping with a baby blanket, so it smells like him.

They’re also intentional about raising Olympia in a digital world. Serena limits screen time. And Alexis? He’s all about fair play. He’s made it clear that Olympia won’t be chasing a career in sports unless female athletes get paid what they deserve. There’s heart and a whole lot of hustle, and the couple is raising their daughter their way.
