Alexis Ohanian is many things – an entrepreneur, a social media personality, and a venture capital investor. However, few recognize that he is quite humble as well. He has been touted by his followers several times on social media, but the Brooklyn native does not let it affect his personality. It was also shown in a Twitter post where he was praised by one of his followers and compared to Serena Williams. But the business magnate decided to play it down.

His followers are not the only ones who have noticed his good qualities. Oracene Price was thoroughly impressed by Ohanian when he met her to ask permission for her hand in marriage. His kind attitude and well-mannered behavior helped Price in believing that he was the right man for her daughter.

After dating for two years, the Reddit co-founder knew it was time to pop the big question to Serena Williams. He was in a strong relationship with her at the time and marriage was all but final. But before he asked her to marry him, Ohanian sought permission from her mother. In a 2017 interview, Price remembered a simple gesture which helped her make the decision.

She recalled that Ohanian found a shirt that Williams was unable to find. The 40-year-old won over Price with that gesture and now has a child with Williams, with another on the way.
