Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, is known for sharing heartfelt moments with his daughters, Olympia and Adira, while advocating for women’s sports.
His social media is filled with fun, tender moments with his girls, like his viral “papa pancakes” and playful posts about fatherhood.
Earlier this month, Ohanian posted a touching photo of his daughters on his lap, jokingly captioning it “Uppy^2 (Or else someone gets jealous).”
In a recent gym selfie, he shared his commitment to staying fit for fatherhood.
“Training for ‘Uppies,'” he captioned, whilst also thanking Elevated Performance Coaching for helping him create a workout plan that works while traveling.
At home, he treasures quiet moments with his daughters, including a sweet post on X of him reading with his second daughter in his lap.
“So grateful and happy to be with my girls this morning,” he shared, reinforcing his pride in being a dedicated “girl dad.”
Ohanian has relished being a father
Ohanian’s role as a father is central to his life, and he often reflects on the joys and challenges of parenthood. On his podcast, ‘Business Dad,’ he discussed his love for being a father to girls.
“I figured I was destined to have girls…and it’s awesome to be a girl dad.”
Despite his busy career, Ohanian successfully balances family life and work. In 2023, he tweeted that the concept of work-life balance is a “farce,” emphasizing that it’s not about achieving an even split but adjusting priorities as life demands.
His approach to work and family has been shaped by his wife, Serena Williams. Ohanian recalled a 2016 conversation where Williams told him he was working more than she was. This moment changed his perspective, helping him understand that overworking isn’t sustainable.
“When I’m working, I’m all in, and when I’m not, I’m all in on not,” he said.
Ohanian’s approach to family and career shows that with thoughtful prioritization, one can thrive in both areas without sacrificing personal happiness.
