<\/p>\n

In November 2017, Serena Williams<\/a><\/strong>, the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, married Alexis Ohanian<\/strong> in a stunning ceremony. Alexis quickly went from being her supportive partner to her biggest fan.<\/p>\n

Before Serena stepped away from tennis in September 2022, Alexis was often seen in the player\u2019s box at her tournaments, cheering her on, watching intently, and fist-bumping to pump her up! The couple, who share their adorable daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.<\/strong><\/a> and baby girl Adira River Ohanian<\/strong><\/a>, are a true power couple.<\/p>\n

Just like Serena is a powerhouse, there\u2019s so much more to Alexis than meets the eye. Find out more about him below!<\/p>\n

Co-Founder of Reddit<\/h2>\n

Alexis co-founded Reddit in 2005 with Steve Huffman<\/strong> and left the company in 2007, but returned full-time in 2015. He also helped launch Hipmunk<\/a>, a travel search website, and Breadpig, a company that creates geeky products and donates the proceeds to charity.<\/p>\n

Started Dating Serena Williams in October 2015<\/h2>\n

Alexis and Serena reportedly met over lunch and started dating shortly after. Initially, the couple kept their relationship private, but now they\u2019re essentially #CoupleGoals. They are consistently supportive of each other, with Alexis often gushing about how incredible Serena is as a mom, a tennis player, and an inspiration.<\/p>\n

Advocate for Paid Parental Leave<\/h2>\n

After the birth of their sweet, two-year-old girl, whom they call Olympia, Alexis really had to step in after Serena suffered life-threatening complications after undergoing a c-section. Since then, Alexis has stood steadfast as an advocate for paid leave, writing in an August 2019 op-ed for\u00a0The New York Times<\/em><\/a>, \u201cWe need a federal bill that mandates quality paid family leave for everyone \u2014 birth parents, adoptive parents and caregivers alike. Until that happens, dads, let me be your air cover. I took my full 16 weeks and I\u2019m still ambitious and care about my career. Talk to your bosses and tell them I sent you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

Helped Create the Hijab Emoji<\/h2>\n

In addition to his advocacy for paid parental leave, Alexis uses his privilege and platform to uplift marginalized communities. In October 2017, he collaborated with two women to create a design for a headscarf emoji. \u201cProud to be working with @RayoufAlhumedhi and @jenny8lee on a proposal for the Unicode Technical Committee to add a headscarf emoji, for millions of women across the globe to be represented,\u201d he shared to his website<\/a> on Oct. 6, 2017.<\/p>\n

Best-Selling Author<\/h2>\n

He released his book, Without Their Permission: How the 21st Century Will Be Made, Not Managed<\/em>, in 2013. The book serves as a helpful guide for aspiring entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n
