Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian have been married for seven years next month, but their relationship began with an interesting first date.
Serena Williams and husband Alexis Ohanian have been together since September 2017
Serena Williams and her entourage “interrogated” her Reddit co-founder husband Alexis Ohanian during their first date.
Williams and Ohanian have been married for seven years. The pair welcomed their first child, daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., in September 2017 before adding their second daughter Adira River in August 2023.
In the latest installment of her ESPN+ docu-series, “In The Arena,” Williams revealed she brought her current agent Jill Smoller, and her assistant at the time to her first date with Ohanian. The Reddit co-founder recalled how the group fiercely interviewed him, and he appeared to pass the test.
“Serena, her assistant, her agent, and then me on the other side of the table, and they just bombarded me with questions,” Ohanian recalled.
“It was like two hours of interrogation and questions. Do I have kids, am I married? Nothing was off limits.”
Williams and Ohanian now have two children together, including eldest Alexis Olympia
“I totally tried to get the book on him right away,” said Smoller, who also appeared in the episode. Williams recollected Smoller’s intensity as she quizzed Ohanian on his dating history
“Jill asked him straight up like, ‘What’s up with your girlfriend?’ and he’s like, ‘I don’t have a girlfriend,’” Williams said. “He was saying that he had broken up with her. It changed things when he said that because I was like, ok, now he’s not being this beast.”
Ohanian even showed the original text exchange between the couple. He texted: “Look, let me take you out to dinner.”
Williams’ reply read: “Okay, but I’m gonna bring my agent and my assistant.”
In the interesting docu-series, Williams shares a personal account of her most meaningful Grand Slam appearances and milestones on and off the court. The seventh episode highlights when they first met during the 2015 Italian Open, their engagement in January 2017, and the Australian Open that month.
Williams went on to win her 23rd Grand Slam while pregnant at the Australian Open. The 42-year-old called time on her career following the US Open in 2022.
