Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian Truly Are the Definition of Couple Goals.
Make no mistake, Alexis Ohanian hit the freaking jackpot with Serena Williams, and we’re all (especially me) a little jealous. She’s a six-time US Open champion, fashion icon, and all-around boss b*tch. And her family? Couldn’t be any cuter.
Now, let’s talk about how her lucky hubby Alexis Ohanian managed to swoon her. That first date? Not your average date night, it was more like a celebrity news worthy grilling session.
Alexis Is a Brave Man
So, picture this: Serena, her assistant, and her agent (Jill Smoller), all sitting there with Alexis, the Reddit founder. Dude was probably sweating bullets. Jill didn’t mess around, she straight-up asked him, “What’s up with your girlfriend?” And Alexis? Cool as a cucumber, he goes, “I don’t have a girlfriend.” That’s when Serena started thinking, “Okay, maybe this guy isn’t just some random tech dude.”

Here’s the fun part! Alexis knew exactly how to win her over, by talking about Marvel and Iron Man! And he’s not your occasional Marvel lover, he didn’t say “I’ve seen a Marvel movie.” No, he went full-on nerd mode, and that’s what got Serena hooked. Who knew the way to her superstar tennis heart was through some serious Marvel talk? I guess if anyone would love a good hero, it’s Serena.
Adorable Family
Fast forward to 2015, and they’re officially dating. By December 2016, Serena’s got a rock on her finger, and by September 2017, they’re welcoming their first baby girl, Olympia. They tied the knot in November that same year, and just recently, on August 15, 2023, they added another little one to their superhero cadre, baby Adira.

And let’s not forget, the Alexis Ohanian net worth is pretty solid, too. The Reddit founder’s got a serious stash of cash, but let’s be honest—the real prize here is being Serena Williams’ husband. She’s the real treasure, and Alexis knows it. So, while the US Open might be all about tennis, in her own game of love, Serena’s still the champ.
