Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian Celebrate Wedding Anniversary

Retired tennis champion Serena Williams and Reddit's co-founder Alexis Ohanian celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary. This special moment comes after their marriage in 2017 and the welcoming of two daughters.

On Saturday, Nov. 16, Williams and Ohanian shared heartfelt messages on social media, celebrating their union. Williams' Instagram included joyful photos from a recent family costume party. Ohanian dressed as a Roman gladiator alongside their 7-year-old daughter, Olympia, while Williams and 15-month-old Adira dazzled in bright costumes. A touching image featured Ohanian kissing Adira, who was in his arms. Another photo captured their family smiling together.

"7 years has gone so fast… Happy anniversary @alexisohanian. Thank you for being the best dad to our girls @olympiaohanian and @adiraohanian," Williams wrote. "Thanks for turning an average November day into a special costume party. ❤️❣️."

Ohanian complimented Williams for her motherhood in response: "❤️ Thank you for blessing me with the two best humans we've ever met."

Reflecting on their 2017 wedding in New Orleans, Ohanian shared his own post. "7 years ago today, we got married here," he wrote. "Now we get to bring these two for beignets. Happy Anniversary 🎉." This sentiment was accompanied by a charming family photo taken in New Orleans.

The couple first crossed paths in May 2015 at an event leading up to the Italian Open. Their wedding included celebrity guests, such as Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian, at New Orleans' Contemporary Arts Center. Since then, Williams and Ohanian have openly discussed their relationship, particularly how they navigate parenthood and business.

In a 2021 interview, Williams described her marriage positively, though truthfully noting, "Marriage is not bliss, but it can be if you work at it." Aiming for motherhood was always important to Williams, sharing, "I always knew I wanted kids. I never knew when, but they were always a goal."

She reflected, "I learned that love is an amazing feeling. If you have the chance to feel it, cherish it."

Earlier this year, the couple gained attention at the 2024 Paris Olympics. During the red carpet event, Ohanian attempted to protect Williams and Olympia from heavy rain with an umbrella. A Eurosport commentator humorously referred to him as her "umbrella holder."

The tech entrepreneur embraced the moment, sharing a witty comment about being the "umbrella holder" for his family. This added to their collection of loving family moments celebrated on social media, showcasing their playful dynamics as a couple and parents.
