Back in 2019, Alexis Ohanian softly confessed to Serena Williams, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if she played on a national team one day?’” while watching the 2019 World Cup. That simple dream still echoes today. The Reddit founder, a man deeply rooted in passion for sports, often shares the field or the fairway with his daughter, Olympia. Just last year, the duo lit up New York City, catching a play, stopping by Milk Bar, and visiting the American Girl Store. Now, as their home radiates with athletic spirit, Serena Williams’ husband makes his feelings clear about his daughter’s sporting future.

Recently, Fastbreak Hoops on X shared a short clip that perfectly captured what every sports parent dreams of, and dreads. The post read, “When Hailey Van Lith hit a three and her dad followed it up with peak ‘dad’ behavior 😂,” showing Van Lith’s father sprinting from the stairs, high-fiving a friend, and soaking in every second of pride. The moment exploded online, and among those who chimed in was none other than Alexis Ohanian.

The Reddit co-founder, known for his blend of humor and heart, reposted the clip with a cheeky caption: “Yall are gonna be SO sick of me if either of my girls play sports… 😆.” For anyone who’s followed Ohanian’s family life, the sentiment was all too real. After all, whether it’s basketball, tennis, or soccer, Alexis and Serena Williams’ home is already a hotbed of sporting energy.

While basketball might very well capture the imagination of his daughters, golf seems to be the sacred Sunday ritual in the Ohanian household. For Alexis and his eldest, Olympia, golf isn’t just a pastime; it’s a bond built one swing at a time. Their weekend rounds are legendary on social media, filled with laughter, sunlight, and the occasional proud dad commentary.

One standout Instagram post from April showcased Olympia lining up her swing, completely immersed in the game, as Alexis looked on with unmistakable pride. “What a perfect Sunday. Just Golf & my Girls,” he wrote, a simple phrase that spoke volumes about family, patience, and love.

Even earlier, in March, Alexis had shared another gem, a snapshot of a golf cart carrying both his and Olympia’s clubs. His caption said it all: “Meant to post this yesterday. The Daddy Caddy Life is blessed.”

For Ohanian, the “Daddy Caddy” role isn’t just a joke; it’s a badge of honor. Each drive and putt is a step in a journey that mirrors his own relentless drive, now passed down to his daughters.

Serena Williams’ daughter, Adira, named the youngest team owner

At just one year old, Adira has already achieved something most adults can only dream of: becoming a team owner. In 2024, Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian expanded their empire by joining Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s revolutionary golf league, TGL, as part-owners of the Los Angeles Golf Club. But the move didn’t stop with them. Ohanian made sure his daughters were part of the vision too, announcing that Olympia would join as a co-owner, making her the youngest owner in professional sports history.

“Announcing my fellow co-owner of @wearelagc… @olympiaohanian! Olympia is the youngest owner in professional sports (@weareangelcity) and is now the youngest 2-team owner in professional sports. She’ll be joined by her future sibling,” Ohanian proudly shared.

In a follow-up post, he confirmed that Adira would also hold a stake in the golf club, cementing her position as the youngest team owner ever. For Serena and Alexis, this isn’t just about investments; it’s about building a legacy of empowerment and opportunity for their daughters from day one.

Olympia first made waves when she became a part-owner of Angel City FC, a women’s soccer team that has redefined the business of women’s sports. Reflecting on that decision, Ohanian explained, “As someone who spends hours kicking around a football with my two-year-old daughter, I want her to have a front row seat to this revolution.”

That statement captures his mission perfectly, not just supporting women’s sports but actively involving his daughters in its evolution. For Ohanian and Serena, it’s about action over words, legacy over luxury.

Now, as little Adira joins the ranks beside her big sister, the Ohanian-Williams household stands as a beacon of generational ambition.

So, the only question left is: which sport will these two future powerhouses choose to conquer?
