I made the mistake of thinking my 4-year-old daughter Olympia would take mini-golf seriously: Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian
Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian recently posted a picture of his daughter Olympia playing mini-golf during a "daddy-daughter date".
The most recent picture Ohanian shared is of his daughter Olympia with a mini-golf putter, along with a caption detailing their day out together.
"I made the mistake of thinking my 4 year old would take mini-golf seriously (this footwear??), but it was still a great daddy-daughter date," Ohanian said.
Williams and her husband often post pictures of themselves with Olympia on social media. Ohanian recently posted a photo of Serena Williams with her daughter on Mother's Day and earlier shared a picture of Olympia crashing his business meeting.
"My body, my entire being, was just so tired at that point" - Serena Williams shares harrowing childbirth experience
In an essay for Elle magazine earlier this year, Serena Williams detailed how she fough for her life following the birth of her daughter. The American said that her complaints fell on deaf ears, possibly due to the color of her skin.
She claimed that in the United States, black women were more likely to die during or after childbirth compared to white women due to lack of appropriate treatment.
"In the U.S., Black women are nearly three times more likely to die during or after childbirth than their white counterparts. Many of these deaths are considered by experts to be preventable. Being heard and appropriately treated was the difference between life or death for me; I know those statistics would be different if the medical establishment listened to every Black woman’s experience."
Serena Williams said that her body was shot following the four surgeries she underwent following childbirth. She claimed she was so tired that she could not even walk down the driveway upon reaching home.
"A week later, I finally left the hospital with Olympia. In the span of seven days, I had gone through four surgeries back-to-back, including my C-section. My body, my entire being, was just so tired at that point. When I first got home, I couldn’t walk down the driveway. When I finally made it to a tree halfway down the driveway, it was a big hurdle for me.
The 40-year-old also highlighted the support she received from her family. The American felt, however, that her family "must've been aching on the inside" after seeing her in such a condition.
"Everyone in my family cheered me on, telling me, “You’re doing so good!” They must’ve been aching on the inside, but they still all acted like nothing was wrong. My dad was so encouraging, saying, “Look, you did it!” This, after he coached me for years, all tough and relentless. I’m glad they didn’t let me see how bad it really was."
