Alexis Ohanian might have a packed schedule as a successful businessman, but when it comes to being a dad, he’s always game for setting some serious #DadGoals. From flipping pancakes on lazy weekends to making the most of every moment with his little ones, this “Business Dad” knows how to balance the boardroom and bedtime stories like a pro. And now, Ohanian is positively beaming with pride over his elder daughter, Olympia. In a moment that left him both surprised and in awe, Olympia showcased incredible bravery, proving once again that she’s got her mom Serena Williams’ fearless spirit running through her veins.

The 41-year-old took her elder daughter Olympia to the magical world of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge on November 27th. As the duo enjoyed their journey through the world of Batuu, an unexpected encounter with the infamous First Order added a twist to their fun outing. However, the seven-year-old depicted immense bravery and adopted a fighting stance, depicting she was prepared to confront the figures. This seems to have taken her father in awe. 

In a post shared by Olympia on her Instagram, she can be seen standing in front of the First Order figures. Captioning the post, she wrote, “They captured the wrong girl,” signifying her confidence. Her father, Alexis Ohanian, was quick to reshare the post on his Instagram story. Expressing his pride, he wrote, “That’s my girl.” He also made a similar remark on his X account earlier.  Sharing pictures from the outing, Ohanian wrote, “I was so proud of her for this reaction to being kidnapped by The First Order.” This, however, is not the first time when Ohanian’s love for his daughters has come to light.

But I am a really competitive person and I want them to be unreasonably proud of me too,” he said in the interview.

Speaking in an interview with Taylor Smith for the Offseason NFC podcast, Ohanian opened up on the criticisms. “I have business folks I work with.
