On their first date, Serena Williams'
husband Alexis Ohanian courted the tennis legend by bringing up a
crucial subject: Marvel films. Before the Reddit co-founder made the proposal two
years later, Williams—who is regarded as the best female tennis player of all time—met Ohanian
for the first time at the 2015 Italian Open. November 2017 marked the couple's marriage, one
month after they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Alexis Olympia
Ohanian Jr. Adira River Ohanian, their second daughter, was
born in August of last year. Williams and Ohanian facilitated their
unforgettable first date from nine years ago, in which the 23-time Grand Slam winner arrived
accompanied by her agent and assistant, in the most recent episode of her
ESPN+ docuseries "In The Arena." After referring to the event as a "two
hour interrogation," Alexis was able to win Serena over by discussing Marvel's
illustrious history of superhero movies. However, the American investor and
businessman stated initially: "Serena, her agent, and assistant came to one side of the
table, and they just started asking me questions." "There were questions and interrogations for almost two hours." Are I married? Do I
have children? Nothing was forbidden. Williams chuckled and mentioned
Jill Smoller, her current agent: "What’s up with your girlfriend?" Jill asked him
directly. "I don't have a girlfriend," he says. He was claiming that they were no
longer together. When he stated that, everything changed for me because I realized
that he was no longer acting like a beast. "He started talking about Iron
Man and Marvel during dinner, and that's the way to my heart," she continued. It wasn't simply a casual, "Hey, I've watched
a few movies," Ohanian recalled. It means, "I have deeply studied the text and I
have strong opinions about this lore." ' The fact that they both had the same passion made
it extremely fascinating, according to Smoller, who also appears in the documentary series.
I thought, "She can finally talk to someone who likes the things that she does," since he was
into superheroes, science fiction, and cartoons. During their date, Williams and
Ohanian talked about how much they loved science fiction and superheroes, and
in early January 2017, they got engaged. The legendary women's tennis
player won the Australian Open in that month while expecting their first child.
