The excited mom shared that this was Olympia’s first Disney World trip, and she had been eagerly anticipating this moment since her pregnancy. “The last time I came to Walt Disney World in Florida, I was actually pregnant with her,” the tennis star said in her video interview. “I’ve been waiting so long. I haven’t been able to come back, so this is like a dream come true.”
Well, their recent trip was not just an adventure, but a proud parenting moment for Alexis.

Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian reflects on legacy and family priorities
A few days ago, in an interview with journalist Jemele Hill, Alexis shared his heartfelt thoughts on his legacy. The Reddit co-founder revealed that fulfillment comes from being remembered by his daughters, Olympia and Adira. He opened up about his life since resigning from Reddit’s board in 2020. “I wanted her to see her dad doing the best work of his career in a way she’d be proud of,” he said.
“My career really took off once I left Reddit,” he posted on X three days ago, adding that if his children only remember him for his pancake-making tradition, he would consider that a “major W.”

On top of that, Ohanian and Williams showed their dedication to the family by supporting Olympia’s love for ballet. He celebrated Olympia’s passion for ballet by crafting a pancake of her, striking a graceful pose in her tutu. He also made one for Adira and completed it with her name. Though he humorously admitted to accidentally writing the “R” backward.
The couple chose to skip the star-studded Las Vegas Grand Prix to participate in their seven-year-old daughter’s dance troupe’s performance of The Nutcracker. Ohanian described this act as creating a “core memory” for their daughter. This underlined their priority to cherish moments of joy within their family.
