Serena Williams husband Alexis Ohanian relishes "volunteering" at daughter Olympia's book fair;celebrates women’s soccer earning recognition in books
Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, recently attended his daughter Olympia's scholastic book fair. The 41-year-old also celebrated the inclusion of American soccer player Sophia Smith on a book cover.
Ohanian, a tech entrepreneur and co-founder of Reddit, is a staunch advocate for women's sports. His experiences with disparities have made him create a better platform to support the cause.
After leaving Reddit, Ohanian founded Seven Seven Six, a venture capital firm. Through this firm, he invested in and hosted a monumental women-only track and field event called Athlos NYC. Held in September, the event featured prominent athletes such as Gabby Thomas and Faith Kipyegon, among others.
In addition to his business and social endeavors, the Reddit co-founder effectively fulfills his parenting duties. Ohanian, who often shares moments from Olympia's life on social media, recently attended her book fair.
The 41-year-old was pleased to share a picture of a book featuring American forward Sophia Smith on the cover. He further emphasized that American defender Paige Nielsen also deserves equal recognition.
"I'm volunteering at Jr's scholastic book fair and love seeing @sophsssmith on the cover! @Paigenielsen they need to put some respect on your name," he wrote on X.
"Everyone watches women's sports": Serena Williams' husband after New York Liberty won their maiden WNBA title
Alexis Ohanian was thrilled to witness the crowd in New York City celebrating the New York Liberty's first WNBA championship.
The Liberty overcame an early 12-point deficit to defeat the Minnesota Lynx 67-62 in a thrilling final on Sunday, September 20, securing their first WNBA title. The team’s journey culminated in New York, where they were honored with a ticker tape parade.
Ohanian reshared a clip of the parade that had originally been posted by the City of New York's official account, highlighting the growing popularity of women's sports.
"Everyone watches women's sports. Enjoy the parade, NYC! Y'all are champions," Ohanian wrote.
Like Ohanian, his wife and 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams is a dedicated advocate for women's sports. The 41-year-old has previously expressed his gratitude to Williams and other prominent figures who have played a significant role in the growth of women's sports over the years.
Williams and Ohanian met in 2015 and got married in 2017. The couple welcomed their first daughter Olympia two months before their marriage, and their younger daughter, Adira, was born in August of last year.
