From having breakfast in Rome for the first time to enjoying dates in Paris and getting married in New Orleans in 2017, the couple has come a long way. They now have two daughters, Olympia and Adira Ohanian. With Williams solidifying her legacy in the tennis world and Ohanian proving himself in the business world, the duo has proved themselves to be a power couple.

The former World No. 1 heaped praise on her husband for his investing skills and called him the 'GOAT.' Commending him for bringing a change in women's sports, she said:

"My husband, Alexis Ohanian is I think the best VC investor there is. To see what he's done obviously with creating Reddit has been just remarkable. But beyond that, what he has done for women's sport, he started a whole movement of billions and billions and billions of dollars of other people starting to invest because of what he did.

"I get to live with the GOAT of investing for me to first hand see what it takes to be great on in that realm. It's priceless having an opportunity to work with the best, be the best. We'll create and help you understand and be really good as well."

Sharing the video of Williams praising him on X, Ohanian dropped a sweet reaction, gushing over his wife's comments. Stating that he was married to the best, he wrote:

"When the GOAT calls you the GOAT… S says I’m the best investor — not for seeding ro, rippling, or flock — but for helping to kick off a movement to back women’s sports – truth is, being *married* to the best teaches you a lot about what greatness actually looks like"

When Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian opened up about married life hustles due to travel schedules

"When you’re married to the GOAT, the logistics alone can make the act of physically “showing up” a challenge. Serena’s tennis schedule takes her all over the world, and my career also requires being on the road, whether it’s traveling to meet with founders, speaking at industry events, or spending time at my venture capital firm Initialized’s home office in San Francisco."

Ohanian further revealed how they managed to solve their issues.

"Comparing calendars isn’t romantic, but at the start of every year, Serena and I map out our schedules so that, ideally, there isn’t more than a week that we go without seeing each other," he added.

Serena Williams has had a flourishing career in tennis, as she has won a total of 73 WTA singles titles, including 23 Grand Slam singles titles and 14 Grand Slam doubles titles.
