Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit and husband of tennis legend Serena Williams, recently shared a sweet anecdote about how the 23-time Grand Slam champion charmed him outside the tennis court—with her cooking skills. During a candid interview, Ohanian revealed that Serena’s culinary talent played a significant role in their blossoming romance.
According to Ohanian, Serena’s cooking “completely seduced” him during the early days of their relationship. He fondly recalled how her creativity in the kitchen mirrored her prowess on the court, effortlessly blending flavors and techniques. “She made me this Cajun-style shrimp dish, and it was absolutely incredible,” Ohanian shared, adding that the meal quickly became his favorite.
The tech entrepreneur admitted that Serena’s ability to balance her demanding tennis schedule with moments of personal connection, like cooking for him, was one of the many things that drew him closer to her. “It wasn’t just about the food—it was the effort and care she put into it,” he said.
The couple, who married in 2017 and have two daughters, Olympia and Adira, continue to support each other in both their personal and professional lives. Ohanian often expresses admiration for Serena, describing her as a multi-talented partner who excels in everything she does, whether it’s dominating tennis, raising a family, or creating memorable moments in the kitchen.
Serena, who retired from professional tennis in 2022, has since dedicated more time to her family, entrepreneurial ventures, and philanthropic work. However, it’s clear her husband remains one of her biggest fans—both on and off the court.
Ohanian’s revelation adds a personal touch to their love story, showing that even sports icons have their own unique ways of winning hearts.
