Serena Williams’ husband: “My daughter can be anything the hell she wants”
Alexis Ohanian, husband of tennis super legend Serena Williams, recently talked about the importance of parental paternity leave during pregnancy. A very important issue, which Alexis fully understood when she was born Olympia.
Now, he and Serena will become parents for the second time. And so parental leave is a very important issue for Alexis. In a recent interview with Forbes, Alexis explained: “I just want to create that equality of opportunity so my daughter can be whatever the hell she wants.
So that she feels there is a chance for her to be the best, at work, at home, it doesn’t matter. Especially in the modern era, women have been asked to put up with both of these things. So, I look around and have total faith that men can do it because women had to do it.
Obviously, this makes things easier for women. Whether or not they want to enter the world of work, I don’t care.”

Last August, Serena Williams granted an interview to her Vogue colleagues and talked about many topics. Among these the woman spoke like this: “At the beginning of my career I never thought of having children.
There were times when I wondered if it was appropriate to bring children into this world, I didn’t feel comfortable with that possibility. But now without telling lies, I have great support regarding my children. My husband tells me I’m very practical, but he has to say that in five years Olympia was only once away from me for 24 hours.
Last year I was injured and picked up my daughter from school every day, I couldn’t wait to see her face again.” Meanwhile, Serena and her family can be happy for some fantastic new news. Through her social channels, Serena announced that she was pregnant with her second child.
Serena and her husband already have a daughter, Olympia, born in 2017.
