Serena Williams' husband is Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit. The couple, who are due to celebrate their ninth wedding anniversary this year, married in November 2016 in a star-studded ceremony attended by Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian. Ohanian proposed in January 2016, 11 months before the wedding.
Who is Alexis Ohanian?
Ohanian is best known as the co-founder of Reddit, a role he left in the summer of 2020 when he resigned from the board. He had previously stepped back from the company in 2018 to focus on other investments. The internet entrepreneur now has a particular interest in football, having bought a 10% stake in Chelsea Women and joined their board of directors. The Armenian American was also one of the founding members of Angel City alongside Williams.
How many children do Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian have?
The couple have two daughters. Their first child, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., was born in September 2017. Williams paused her tennis career at 20 weeks pregnant, having won the Australian Open earlier that year while carrying Olympia. Their second daughter, Adira River Ohanian, was born in the summer of 2023, within a year of Williams retiring from tennis. However, Williams has since returned to the sport just under three years later and is set to compete at Wimbledon 2026.
