Despite $250 Million Legacy, Serena Williams’ Husband Alexis Ohanian Vows to ‘Do Better’ in Soul-Stirring Message to Daughter Olympia
It has been over 7 years since Serena Williams and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, embraced parenthood, with Olympia having been born in 2017. Since then, things have only got better for the family. More so for the Reddit cofounder. Ohanian, widely known for donning a chef hat to cook creative pancakes for his family, has taken it upon himself to boost women’s sports. But this is just a fragment of his effort. And if his recent post featuring the elder daughter, Olympia, is to be considered, things are just getting started.
In an Instagram post dated November 7, Ohanian shared two pics with Jr, spanning across the years. In one, Olympia is in her father’s arms as an infant, while in the next one, the two are sitting side by side, spending quality time with a gadget in hand. The business dad seems to be passing a few crucial lessons to Olympia already! He captioned the post with a heartwarming message, which displayed his spirit to get better and go beyond for his daughters. Referring to the snippets shared, he said, “Then ➡️ Now. I’ll keep Fighting for you & your sis. And I’ll do better.”

Ohanian is the proud owner of Angel City Football Club, which has touched a massive valuation of $250 Mn recently with the entry of controlling owners Willow Bay and Bob Iger. As previously reported by AFROTECH, Serena and Alexis Ohanian have demonstrated a strong commitment to their children’s future.
At just two years old, their daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., became the youngest owner of a professional sports team, joining her parents as an investor in Angel City FC, a National Women’s Soccer League team. “As someone who spends hours kicking around a football with my two-year-old daughter, I want her to have a front-row seat to this revolution,” Alexis Ohanian said at the time.
Serena and Alexis Ohanian’s second daughter, Adira River Ohanian, born in August 2023, quickly followed in her sister’s footsteps. Less than a year old, Adira became the youngest owner of two professional sports teams, joining her sister as an investor in both Angel City FC and TGL, the tech-infused golf league founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
This is not all, the business dad successfully concluded the athletics event, Athlos at the New York City, featuring the Olympic champion, Gabby Thomas. However, if fans think that this is it for the 776 founder, they are completely off the track.
Serena Williams’ Alexis Ohanian has no intentions to stop whether it’s for his daughters or women’s sports
Serena Williams’ husband, Ohanian, has become a common name in the sporting world. Hence, it wasn’t a surprise when the Reddit co-founder visited his alma mater, the University of Virginia, to cheer for the women’s basketball team on Tuesday. He shared pictures of himself from the John Paul Jones Arena as he cheered for the Wahoos in their clash against the American University.
The Business dad went on to give a rousing speech to the team, as he lauded the coach and athletes for their efforts: “Coach, credit to you too. Their foundation starts here. It’s just so compelling and I see it out there. It’s gonna be a lot of fun to watch this program. I will keep doing the work on the court and off the court and will take care of the rest. This is the era of excellence for women in sports. So no matter how you are thinking like ‘how, well, should I do it now,’ like You all DESERVE EVERY BIT OF THIS!”
