Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian is no stranger to technology. The Reddit co-founder has always embraced innovation, and ChatGPT is now part of his daily routine. From using AI to enhance his fitness motivation to crafting bedtime stories for his daughter, the 41-year-old has found creative ways to integrate it into his life. But now, he’s taken things a step further—using ChatGPT to get a full assessment of his personality. And let’s just say, it nailed it!
When Ohanian asked ChatGPT, “Who do you think I am?” the response was spot on. One part of the assesement read, “You’re family-oriented-your wife, Serena, and your daughters, especially Olympia, are central to your life. You prioritize experiences and traditions, like dinner at 6 PM with your family and fostering curiosity in Olympia.”

Alexis Ohanian has always been vocal about the joys and challenges of fatherhood. He was there for Serena when she needed care after childbirth and has been a strong advocate for paid paternity leave, taking 16 weeks off when Olympia was born. Becoming a dad even changed his perspective on weekends. Before, Sundays were just another day. Now, they’re special—reserved for his “papa pancake” tradition. Inspired by his own father’s simple breakfasts, the entreuprenuer started making pancakes with Olympia, creating fun and delicious recipes. Now, little Adira has joined in, making it a full family affair. Appreciating the family time he once said, “There are no phones, just conversation. And we’ll spend the day together lounging around the house, or playing hide-and-seek, or going for a swim in the pool. Just being a family on those days means so much to both of us.”
That’s not all. He’s fully there to support his daughter’s talents as well. Every weekend, he steps into his role as Olympia’s “daddy caddy,” carrying her clubs and cheering her on at the golf course. While Serena believes in letting kids explore their wild side, Ohanian takes a “gentle-ish” approach, guiding Olympia through conversations. To prepare for fatherhood, he even crowd-sourced advice on Reddit—one tip he followed was sleeping with a baby blanket to make it smell like him.
One thing that stands out in all his updates is how much he cherishes being a “girl dad.” He’s mentioned it a few times on his Business Dad podcast, stating, “I figured I was destined to have girls, and it’s awesome to be a girl dad.” His role as a father isn’t just about family time—it also shapes his career moves.
Serena Williams’s husband reveals how his daughter inspired a major career shift
Alexis Ohanian co-founded Reddit in 2005, but in 2020, he made a bold decision. Discontent with the platform’s handling of online hate speech, he stepped down from the board. He pledged to donate his earnings from Reddit’s shares to fight racial hate and pushed for a Black candidate to replace him.
This career shift wasn’t just about principles—it was also personal. Ohanian later revealed how his elder daughter, Olympia, became his ‘North Star.’ “Because here’s this company I spent 15,16 years of my life building, and now I had to figure out who I was going to be for the rest of my years. Olympia was in many ways my North Star. And I said, I want to keep building businesses, and I want to be doing in a way that I know I’m going to be proud of. So that’s why I started Seven Seven Six. I am going to use this to drive the best possible business outcomes in a way that I can brag to my daughters and hopefully grandkids about one day,” he explained.
His investments reflect that passion. Along with Serena Williams, he became a major investor in the National Women’s Soccer League’s Angel City FC. He’s been a vocal supporter, both financially and on the sidelines. A big reason for his investment? Olympia’s love for soccer and his advocacy for women’s sports. Ohanian also co-owns TGL’s Los Angeles Golf Club. Serena and Venus Williams are among the team’s leading investors. But the real stars might be Olympia and Adira—who are partial owners of both the investments, making them the youngest investors in the game.
From building businesses to cheering on his daughters, Ohanian’s story is one of purpose and passion. Whether it’s AI assessments, family traditions, or game-changing investments, one thing is clear—he’s all in.
