Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian proudly embraces 'obsession' with daughter Olympia
Serena Williams' husband and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian recently celebrated a heartwarming highlight of his 2024 Twitter (now X) activity: his role as a proud "GirlDad." Sharing his unofficial year-end recap, Ohanian expressed his delight that data had officially validated his unwavering devotion to his elder daughter Olympia.
Alexis Ohanian and Serena Williams tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in 2017. In September 2017, the couple welcomed their first child, Olympia Ohanian Jr. In 2023, their family grew with the arrival of their second daughter, Adira River Ohanian.
According to the recap, he tweeted about his daughter over 200 times in 2024, earning him the title of "her biggest social media hype man." The recap highlighted the viral nature of his heartfelt posts, such as a tweet about Olympia's ballet recital, which resonated deeply with his followers.
Alongside moments of fatherly pride, Ohanian’s social media presence also stood out for bold commentary on societal issues, including his much-discussed stance on legacy admissions, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of his family life.
Ohanian shared the recap via his Instagram Stories on December 26, 2024, captioning it:

Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian shares the heartfelt promise he’s made to daughters Olympia and Adira
Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian recently spoke about the vast possibilities of the internet and Reddit’s active efforts to combat hate speech.
As the platform's co-founder in 2005, Ohanian is motivated by a vision of creating an online space his children can take pride in. In June 2020, amid nationwide protests against police brutality following George Floyd’s death, Ohanian resigned from Reddit's board of directors.
During an appearance on the 'On Purpose with Jay Shetty' podcast, Ohanian expressed his hope that his daughters, Olympia, and Adira River, will one day appreciate his commitment to building a more inclusive and hate-free digital world.
"I still think the internet can bring out the best in us, I do. I can also accept the conflicting view that it enables the worst of us. And I obviously want to be on the side of the former. So, I try to use my platform the best," Ohanian told Jay Shetty. "I think I have to remain an optimist because I'm still optimistic about humanity and these tools are just a reflection of society."
"And I need to believe that there is hope for us to figure it out. At the end of the day, we all want to live decent lives, we want our kids to live possibly better lives. I want to spend my years supporting all this stuff that my girls will be proud of," he added.
