Williams and Ohanian kept fans updated on their activities throughout the Olympics, sharing numerous photos from the event on social media. Their elder daughter,Olympia also shared a glimpse of her time with her younger sister, Adira, in Paris, though the latter's face remained hidden.
Weeks later, a picture of Williams and Ohanian with their daughters, taken during the opening ceremony, was shared on X (formerly Twitter). This time, Adira’s face was visible in the photo.
Ohanian, Reddit co-founder, reacted to the post, writing:
"Olympia always ready for a photo (heart-eyes emoji)"
Ohanian has recently shared a picture of him teaching Olympia chess. The 41-year-old joked that it won't be hard for her to defeat him.
Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian jokes about Adira's first word compared to when Olympia said "Mama" for the first time
In an interview at the ESPYs, Alexis Ohanian revealed that his younger daughter Adira had spoken her first word, which he believed to be "Papa." He compared this to how Olympia used to say "Mama" after he encouraged her to do so as a child.
"Well Adira, she's already taken those first steps and barely saying her first word and it sounds if you ask me like she's saying, 'Papa.' Mama would dispute this," Ohanian said.
"Olympia is doing great. She's almost seven now. Olympia's first word was 'Mama,' because behind the scenes, I'd be telling her like, 'Mama, mama, mama.' The least you can do for Mama is make sure that it's the first word," he added.
The Reddit co-founder also revealed in the interview that Olympia is currently focusing on golf and tennis.
