Serena Williams is married to Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit who is truly a family man. Fans often are treated to snippets of his time with his superstar wife and their adorable toddler Olympia Ohanian. But recently, he opened up about another member of his family- his father.

Recently, Alexis shared an anecdote about his father. He recalled a time when he wanted to buy a Tesla for his father. Tesla, the automotive company founded by Elon Musk is known for its modern designs and features. But, turns out that the senior Ohanian wasn’t interested in buying a Tesla car, as it was too “futuristic” for him.
In the picture tweeted by Ohanian, the two of them are seen standing in front of a Mustang instead! This indicates that Ohanian’s father is poles apart from him who calls himself an ‘internet entrepreneur’ and is into all modern avenues of income and revenue, like cryptocurrencies.

He is often seen in the stands, while Serena Williams is playing, and is one of her loudest supporters.
