Alexis Ohanian

you know, sort of the middle of nowhere Florida has been probably the biggest secret weapon.

You know, the challenge I had in previous relationships, the general theme was... I knew I was super ambitious. I was very upfront about it. But it still doesn't really land until three months in, six months in, nine months in, and you realize, oh, this guy is not going to change. And it seems like a fun thing for a little bit. And then at a certain amount, like eventually push comes to shove.

And there's a gap because they – Didn't get it. And, and I, again, I, I don't think that's a right or wrong here, but it's a, it's an incompatibility. And part of what attracted me so much to Serena was the fact that I knew we would never have this conversation about like, well, why do you have to do this thing? Or why is this so important?

Or like, why, what do you mean you have to get this done tonight? Like that could never happen because of everything she had to do in order to achieve the heights that she had gotten to. And so that to me was already very appealing because I was like, okay, this is table stakes. I have found someone who has clearly even more ambition than me, who has achieved so much. And in a way, so...

I don't know if I'd say the same thing if I were an athlete. I think that might've been harder. But to be with someone like Serena, right? That's like literally one word. Like you don't even need to say her full name. It is tremendously liberating Because I know, and also because of who we are and where we come from, Jay, there is literally nothing I could do.

I could, one day, God willing, I will be a billionaire. I will never run for president. But let's say I could be a billionaire who runs for president, and I'll still be Serena Williams' husband or Serena's husband, right? I could be an astronaut. It doesn't matter. It literally does not matter. And part of that is a testament to where she started.

Where she got what she did all those doors that she opened all those things and so in a way it's kind of liberating as a super ambitious person especially in a society where like it's a meme just to literally say oh that guy is comfortable being called Serena Williams husband. Now, candidly, if we live in an ideal world, no one is anyone's anyone, right?

But I do appreciate, I understand why the internet finds that really exciting and interesting. But the bigger story here is the fact that if you have this kind of partnership you're talking about, you're able to let one another flourish at those things at that time when they're ready. And maybe I didn't see it.

Maybe I missed out on some great relationships earlier because it wasn't there at that time. But At the end of the day, one of the best parts, you know, dating Serena while she was winning Grand Slam after Grand Slams, breaking every record, doing all this stuff with Olympia in her belly. I might add, you know, the pinnacle of sports excellence.

And then also seeing her now, like, making cinnamon rolls for the second grade class. Like, both of those things bring me so much joy. And frankly... I love seeing the latter more because it doesn't come with all the baggage of being the public persona. They just have to endure doing that job. And I know she doesn't miss it at all for those same reasons.
