Ohanian, the Reddit co-founder and businessman, was always on the sidelines when Williams racked up win after win with her tennis prowess. The 23-time Grand Slam title winner retired in 2022 but continues to get her husband's support in every aspect of life.

The two attended an event (unspecified) in glammed-up looks and enjoyed a light-hearted couple's moment. As the tennis legend looked at the camera, thinking her husband was clicking a picture, her husband cracked her up by saying it was a video.

Ohanian resorted to ChatGPT to answer some of his life and career-related questions. To his surprise, ChatGPT gave an accurate and personal reply, saying:

"You're family-oriented - wife, Serena, and your daughters, especially Olympia, are central to your life. You prioritize experiences and traditions, like dinner at 6 PM with your family and fostering curiosity in Olympia."
