Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian shared how he developed a deep appreciation for tennis after dating the American legend. Married in 2017, the couple has two daughters, Olympia (7) and Adira River (1).

During an episode of his podcast "Business Dad", where he spoke with former NBA star Shane Battier, Ohanian admitted that he had never watched tennis before dating Williams. His perspective shifted once he started following the sport, though he previously believed that the NFL was the only sport that truly mattered.

“I didn't watch tennis until I started dating my wife. It was very much a football, NFL household. The NFL was it, and I thought that was the only sport that mattered. And then when I came to watch tennis, of the big sports, it is the most pure. What people wanna see is two people being the best, and a winner and a loser, and a feeling as objective as humanly possible,” Ohanian said.

Alexis Ohanian, 41, also expressed his admiration for tennis, describing it as incredibly "clean" at its core and noting that there is something magical about the game.
