Alexis Ohanian Says Baby Adira Brings Out ‘Maternal Spirit’ in Big Sister Olympia: ‘My Baby!’ (Exclusive
Alexis Ohanian is taking a closer look at what it means to be successful as both a father and an entrepreneur
The tech executive and father of two, 41, is asking dads the hard questions on his new podcast, Business Dad.
Speaking with PEOPLE about the podcast’s launch, Ohanian — father to Adira, 9 months, and Olympia, 6½, whom he shares with wife Serena Williams — opens up about reveling in life as a father of two since welcoming daughter Adira last summer.
“Shout out to the mother of my children. My wife, Serena, is Super Mom,” he says of their experience as a family of four.
The father of two is excited to see his younger daughter start to get her footing, noting it’s “fun because she’s getting more mobile.”
“She’s able to have a lot more fun with her sister in terms of playing. You can already see the interactions between them. It’s a big age gap, and Olympia has a little bit of that maternal spirit. She’s like, ‘This is my baby,’ and it’s great to see them together,” Ohanian shares.
“They play and sort wrestle and all that. We’re very lucky because Adira’s got a great personality and Olympia does too, plus she’s so excited to be a big sis. So seeing the two of them interact with each other has been a special kind of fun
