Serena Williams never considered getting married to a white guy
Few years back, the former world number one didn’t think her ideal partner, with whom she would spend the rest of her life, would be someone like her husband, Alexis Ohanian. She won 23 grand slam championships, and he co-founded Reddit, so it may be because they come from different worlds or maybe she never thought of marrying a white guy.
Recalling the time, Williams said, “Literally all I tell Alexis is, ‘well, you know, there’s such a difference between White people and Black people.’ He always gets to hear about the injustices that happen; that wouldn’t happen if I were White. It’s interesting. I never thought I would have married a White guy, either, so it just goes to show you that love truly has no color, and it just really goes to show me the importance of what love is.”
