Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian approves Coach Prime's message on fathers 'trying to do right for their kids'

Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, endorsed Deion Sanders, also known as Coach Prime, for his heartfelt message about fathers striving to do right by their children. Sanders, a football legend, is currently the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes' college football team.

Sanders is a proud father of five. He shares two children, Deion Jr. and Deiondra, with his first wife, Carolyn Chambers. With his second wife, Pilar Biggers-Sanders, he has three more: sons Shilo and Shedeur, and daughter Shelomi.

Coach Prime remains deeply involved in his children's lives, including his son Shedeur, who plays quarterback for Colorado. On December 14, he posted a picture on X (formerly Twitter) wearing a hoodie that read "Father Figure" across the chest, captioning it:

"God Bless all my Fathers out there that’s trying to do right and hold it down for their kids."

Alexis Ohanian reposted Coach Prime's post, aligning with his message. The Reddit co-founder is a devoted father himself and often shows his love for his daughters, Olympia and Adira, and even acts as Olympia’s caddie during their golf sessions.
