"Changed my life" - Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian pens heartfelt note for daughter Olympia’s 7th birthday as they enjoy 'best weekend ever’
Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian recently celebrated the seventh birthday of their daughter Olympia, and the latter was quick to express his love for his daughter. Ohanian also shared some behind-the-scenes snaps of his daughter's birthday celebrations, leaving fans delighted.
Williams gave birth to her Olympia in September 2017 and subsequently took some time away from sport to recover. She was back on the court in February the next year and reached the singles finals of Wimbledon in July. Since then, the former World No.1 has welcomed a second child, another girl, in August 2023, who is named Adira River Ohanian.
Both Serena Williams and her husband often share insights into the lives of their children on social media, and in the latest update, Alexis Ohanian penned a note for Olympia as she turned seven. Taking to X, he shared pictures of himself and his daughter, writing:
“Tried to give this girl the best weekend ever! September 1, 2017 changed My Life. Fatherhood gets better every year. I love my new SEVEN year old. You somehow keep getting better and better, Jr. Thanks @ChristinaTosi for an awesome cake session as usual. Also the Back to the Future Musical was really good.”
In a separate post, Ohanian also revealed that he treated Olympia to bagels for her birthday, writing:
“I make sure my birthday girl gets her favorite bagel in NYC.”
Serena Williams celebrates her daughters in sweet post
While Serena Williams doesn't celebrate birthdays due to her faith as a Jehovah's Witness, a couple of weeks ago, the tennis star took some time to celebrate both her daughters in a sweet post on her Instagram. She wrote:
“Olympia is always there for me. Before having a second child, I always wondered, "how could I love anything as much as I love Olympia Ohanian? Then Adira came along... she is so special, so fun, so funny, so loving, so sweet and so strong!!! You see, God makes your heart get bigger. Because my love for Olympia has not dimmed. My heart simply now is doubled in size and I have a greater capacity to love more!”
Serena Williams and her husband run independent Instagram accounts for both their children, where they regularly share updates on what's going on in their daughter's lives.
While there is a significant age gap between Olympia and her younger sister, the sibling bond between the two is strong, and fans always enjoy getting an intimate look into Williams' day-to-day life with her daughters.
