American tennis legend Serena Williams has begun a new chapter in her life. The 40-year-old recently played her last professional tennis game at the US Open. After a 27-year-long career, Serena finally decided to focus on her family. Serena and her husband Alexis Ohanian are now dedicating more time to their daughter Olympia.

The Reddit co-founder is also a big sports fan. Apart from tennis, he follows many other sports. One such sport that he has been fond of is American football. Ohanian is a big fan of former NFL star Sean Taylor. Recently he shared a post on Twitter to explain how big a fan of Taylor, he and his parents have been.

Replying to this, the 39-year-old said that his other was an illegal immigrant and his father was a travel agent. Although, he stressed on the fact that he was lucky to get proper education but he made his own path after that.
