“You are the greatest of all time, not just in sport,” Alexis Ohanian told Serena Williams as the two stood on the altar at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans. “I’m talking about as a mother and as a wife. I am so excited to write so many more chapters of our fairy tale together.” If each year of their marriage could be considered a chapter, the couple is in the middle of writing their eighth, and it’s every bit a fairy tale, and every bit as exciting. 

Just a few days ago, Alexis Ohanian shared a picture of himself embracing the Scottish tradition by wearing a kilt, a garment that resembles a wrap-around, knee-length skirt. He captioned that post on his X handle with, “Went to a Scottish wedding in Edinburgh and showed everyone my Sgian Dubh (sounds like Skeeeen Doo!). Badass culture. No notes. Congrats, @GarvinLissie !!!” 

After seeing his post put on by Ohanian on his social media accounts, Lissie Garvin (supposedly the bride), who is also the Foundation and Fellowship Program Director at 776 Foundation, wrote, “Yesssss! You nailed it 10/10 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👏.” Replying to her, Ohanian revealed, “Wife-approved photos to come!” Days after that post, finally, Serena Williams comes up with her own set of memorabilia. Talking about revisiting those moments from their memorable Scotland trip, Williams shared a picture of her posing alongside Alexis Ohanian in a stunning two-toned, lace beige and black dress with a scarf for the occasion.

She captioned that post with, “Dear Scotland! 💍✨ it was well worth seeing @AlexisOhanian in a kilt! What a stud! ❤️‍🔥Thank you so much.” Talking about the kilt, the history of the garment worn by Scots, particularly during important events such as weddings, reportedly dates back to the 16th century.

In another post, Serena Williams was spotted standing in front of the iconic ‘The Red Bus’ and she captioned the post saying, “In Scotland, for a wedding and I’m still missing my time there! I was honored to be at my friend’s wedding. The Scots truly made this experience one for the books. 🥂♥️.

Talking about the place, even Ohanian had also previously dropped a tweet showcasing a glimpse of picturesque Scotland, with the caption, “Beautiful 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.” And while Williams and her husband seem to have thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Scotland, where they witnessed their friend start a new chapter of her life, the 23x Grand Slam winner is going to begin a fresh new chapter of her own, with none other than her sister, Venus Williams.

Other than trying her hand in commentary and analysis, Venus Williams has now joined hands with Serena Williams to co-host a new podcast, featuring interviews with visionaries and creators. With this initiative, they aim to share personal stories, engage with fans, and tackle important topics in a much more unfiltered manner. The podcast will make its debut on X in August this year, before expanding to other platforms. It is being produced in collaboration with Serena Williams’ Nine Two Six Productions, which she launched in 2023 to elevate female and diverse voices through content that speaks to everyone.

Talking about this podcast, the Williams sisters gave a joint statement saying, “We’re so excited to be launching our new podcast, a place where we will share our personal stories, have authentic conversations, spotlight important topics, and laugh a lot. This platform gives us the chance to engage directly with our fans who have supported us throughout our careers, and we’re excited to connect with audiences, old and new, in a way we’ve never done before.” So, Venus Williams tried her hands in a commentary role for the very first time during the French Open, Alexis Ohanian wore something during this Scottish trip that he has probably never worn before and now Serena Williams will partner with her elder sister to do something which she feels they’ve “never done before.” Share your thoughts on all these developments in the lives of these superstars.
