Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian recently reacted to the American tennis legend gracing the cover of TIME magazine. Williams featured in the world-renowned magazine's list of the 'Most Influential People of 2025.'
Williams bid her illustrious tennis career adieu in the year 2022, in front of her home crowd, at the US Open. However, this didn't stop the workhorse inside the American legend as she decided to spread her wings into other ventures like her beauty brand, lending her voice in movies and television series, investing in sports franchises, and many other things.
Safe to say, the 43-year-old continues to be one of the most popular figures in the world. Honoring her influence on today's world, TIME magazine decided to add Williams to their list of 'Most Influential People of 2025' and also made her one of the cover stars. Other cover stars were Snoop Dogg, Demi Moore, Ed Sheeran, and Demis Hassabis.
Serena Williams shared some of her photos from her shoot on Instagram and revealed how she was honored to be a part of this illustrious group.
"@TIME's list of the 100 Most Influential People in the world is out. I'm honored to be a part of this group," Williams captioned her post.
Williams' biggest fan, her husband Alexis Ohanian, was quick to react to his wife gracing the cover of TIME and dropped a three-word reaction in the comment section.
"You know it!" he wrote.

Interestingly, Williams had recently reacted to her friend Lewis Hamilton gracing to cover of Vogue. Continuing her quest to explore other ventures, she is set to make an unexpected return to tennis, however, in an unusual style.
