Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian gets honest about reality of family vacations with young kids

Serena Williams' husband and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian recently reacted to a relatable sentiment about the realities of vacationing with young children. Ohanian is a father to two daughters, Olympia (7) and Adira River (1).

Alexis Ohanian and Serena Williams' relationship began in 2015, and they quickly became inseparable. Ohanian proposed to Williams in December 2016, and they tied the knot in a fairy-tale wedding in New Orleans in November 2017.

The couple welcomed their first daughter, Olympia, on September 1, 2017, just months before their wedding. In August 2023, Serena Williams gave birth to their second daughter, Adira, marking another joyous occasion for the family.

On December 29, 2024, an X (formerly Twitter) user humorously shared a wittand all-too-relatable comment about the challenges of family vacations with young children, writing:

"Vacation with little kids is not a vacation. It's a war of attrition and a test of your love."

Ohanian replied:

"😳 yes."

Alexis Ohanian recently hosted a Q&A on Instagram and was asked about his favorite aspect of being a dad to a daughter. The 41-year-old was thrilled by the question and replied:

"Great question! My favourite part of being a girl dad is that I get to learn all these wonderful, unique, different things that make my little girls, little girls. And I grew up with sisters, I am obviously a dude, and I am a very proud girl dad," he said.

"Because they are just, they are different and its awesome. I feel like I am always learning something new. And they are so sweet, very nicer, very kinder than I was at their age that's for sure. And it only gets better," he added.
