In the world of sports and technology, two individuals have managed to create a perfect balance between their professional and personal lives – Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian. While Ohanian is a well-known entrepreneur, Williams is a world-renowned tennis player. Despite both of them being successful in their respective fields, it is undeniable that the former World No. 1 Williams graces more media attention than her husband.

Owing to the same, media outlets usually refer to Alexis Ohanian as Serena Williams’ husband. Sadly, this practice often does not go down very well with everybody. And that is exactly what happened when one social media user decided to crudely point it out. However, the gentlemanly Alexis Ohanian was the picture of poise and made sure to respond in the classiest way.

On the same post, a Twitter user commented about how he was being referred to as Serena’s husband despite being so successful. He then added, “I think you might be the most successful man to be regularly referred to as your wife’s husband in every media outlet”.

Alexis took no offense to it. But was quick to respond to the comment and defended Serena’s honor along with it. He said, “Just wait ’til I’m a billionaire and they still do it! There’s only one Serena. She transcended every industry.”

His response was truly respectful and classy at the same time. He made sure to shut the fan down and also added a respectful comment for Serena. This only made everyone see what a wonderful couple they are. In fact, netizens even had a sassy pop-culture reference to drive their point home!
