Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, has made a touching gesture for their daughters, Olympia and Adira River, by preserving a delightful memento of his success. Ohanian also attached a heartwarming note to the keepsake, expressing his dedication to building a legacy for his daughters.
Ohanian graced the cover of the September issue of ADWEEK after being named as one of the magazine's 2024 Brand Genius honorees. The accompanying article focused on the Reddit co-founder's efforts to "revolutionize" women's sports, particularly through his creation of Athlos, a female-only track and field event.
Alexis Ohanian recently took to social media and disclosed his intention to get two copies of the magazine professionally graded and save them as collectibles for his and Serena Williams' daughters, in case Olympia and Adira wanted the memory in the future.
"Yes I'm slabbing these on the off chance my girls will want them in the future," Ohanian posted on X," he posted on X.
Ohanian also showed off the adorable notes he had attached to the magazines, which reminded Olympia and Adira that his efforts were for their benefit.
"Olympia, I build this for you + your sis. Love Papa."
"Adira, I build this for you + sis. Love Papa," he wrote on the post-it notes.
The 41-year-old further disclosed that he deliberately chose to use the word "build" in the present tense since his work to create a lasting legacy for his daughters was still ongoing.
"I chose present tense bc I'm far from done 😏," he commented.
"The whole plan is that grandkids, great grandkids, they'll have this" - Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian shows off his collection of legend's trading cards
Apart from his ADWEEK cover, Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, has also preserved the world's largest collection of the 23-time Grand Slam champion's trading cards, valued at $2.5 million, for their daughters and future grandchildren.
Ohanian disclosed that he wanted to ensure that the collection remained in the family so that their future grandchildren and great-grandchildren had the ability to loan it to museums rather than seeing it as someone else's possessions.
"The whole plan for this is that like grandkids, great grandkids, they'll have this collection and probably hundred years from now, museums will want to put pieces of this up for the public display," Ohanian said.
"But I don't want our grandkids to ever have to go to museums to see someone else's possession. They should be the ones renting it out. So that's why we got the greatest collection of all time for you [Serena Williams]," he added.
In a playful exchange, Alexis Ohanian recently called out Carlos Alcaraz for his struggle to guess that the most expensive tennis trading card in history, worth $266,000, belonged to Serena Williams.
