Alexis Ohanian gushed over wife Serena Williams in celebration of her 40th birthday Sunday. “✨ the incomparable @serenawilliams – grateful for every minute I get with my amazing wife & Olympia’s mama,” Ohanian, 38, wrote on Instagram, referring to their 4-year-old daughter.
Along with the sweet note, the Reddit co-founder posted a black-and-white photo of himself with Williams at the 2021 Met Gala earlier this month. Friends and fans flocked to the comments section of Ohanian’s sweet post to mirror his sentiments and swoon over their relationship.
“I love the way you love her the way she deserves. She’s so f–king amazing and you’re appreciative rather than intimidated. It’s wonderful!” one person wrote. “You are both so lucky. Such an amazing love. Sweet parents to a lovely little girl. She is blessed. As are you. 💗,” another fan commented.
“This is the sweetest shout out to your wife. Great hubby/dad and supporting women in general 🙌,” a third Instagram user agreed. “A beautiful and blessed couple. Congratulations YOU BOTH HIT THE JACKPOT ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,” another added.
The tennis champ and Ohanian tied the knot in New Orleans in November 2017 with a star-studded wedding including guests Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian and Anna Wintour.
They had been dating since 2015 and got engaged in December 2016 while vacationing in Rome, which Williams fittingly announced in the Reddit subthread “/isaidyes.”
“This time he made it not by chance / But by choice,” she gushed at the time. “Down on one knee / He said 4 words / And I said yes.” Williams accidentally revealed that she was pregnant with her first child with Ohanian in April 2017. They welcomed daughter Olympia that September that.
