When Alexis Ohanian, Reddit co-founder and husband of tennis icon Serena Williams steps into dad mode, it’s nothing short of wholesome. In a video shared from their home, Alexis is seen in the kitchen with his daughters, Olympia and baby Adira, and what unfolds is the kind of moment that reminds us what truly matters in life, something far more meaningful than fame.
While Alexis is plating up the meat to serve, a hand appears trying to take a bite on the sly and gets its just deserts. Like any family, moments in the kitchen are unique, where everyone wants to be there, but not really to cook. Adira, still a baby, laughs sweetly at the chaos, and Alexis jokes, “That’s too much for your vegetarianism,” as he gives her a small piece to try.
Meanwhile, another member of the four-legged family sits patiently, clearly captivated by the smell of the pork and silently pleading with hopeful eyes. It’s almost as if he’s “talking,” trying to signal which piece he wants. A scene as familiar in everyday homes as it is surprising to see beyond tennis championships or tech boardrooms.
A funny kitchen moment
The Ohanian Williams family is living through a once in a lifetime season. Olympia, born on September 1, 2017, is now 7 years old, while her little sister Adira, born in August 2023, is just 1. These are precious ages Olympia is full of questions, energy, and wonder, while Adira is just beginning to discover the world around her. That’s what makes these everyday memories, like time spent together in the kitchen, so meaningful. They’re fleeting, but they leave a lasting mark.
Since Ohanian left Reddit’s board of directors in 2020, Alexis has been open about prioritizing his family. He prefers these moments that feed the soul and the heart over being part of a tech company because to him, the reasons are bigger and more meaningful.
