Alexis Ohanian on X(formerly Twitter) shared an adorable post regarding parenting Olympia, reminiscing about his childhood memories with his mother. The 41-year-old claimed he is doing the same thing to his six-year-old daughter as his mother.

He, like a proud parent, wrote-

"When I was around Olympia’s age, I remember often catching my mom just staring at me, smiling. I’d notice her doing it and be weirded out like “Mom, why are you staring at me???” — now I just caught myself doing it to Olympia…"

Serena Williams and Ohanian were blessed with another baby in August 2023. While announcing the arrival of their newborn child, Alex Ohanian posted a very loving message on Instagram, calling his superstar wife - GMOAT(Greatest Mother of All Time).

Serena Wiliams speaks

Serena Williams had a very candid chat about tennis and her kids on an episode of TODAY with Hoda & Jenna. She spoke extensively about whether she misses tennis after retirement to having two girls at home.

Serena was asked, "What has that transition been like for you?" To which, the former Wimbledon champion had a very passionate answer. She claimed that she misses tennis and it will always be her first love.

She was quoted as saying-

"Tennis obviously was my first love, and it will always be my first love and it's something that I will always be so passionate about... I will never love anything as much as tennis- There's no adrenaline like that."

Williams later opened up about how she loves to volunteer at her daughter's school and also joked that she is just Olympia's mom at her school and not the 'Serena Williams'.

She was quoted as saying -

"I'm really competitive about it too(Volunteering). I want to volunteer. Sometimes, like, I sign my name up whenever I can, whenever there's spot open, I'm like oh you're the one, you're the one. I'm Olympia's mom and not Serena Williams (Laughs)."
