Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian Celebrate Wedding Anniversary: '7 Years Has Gone So Fast'

Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian are celebrating seven years of marriage!

On Saturday, Nov. 16, the retired tennis star, 43, and the Reddit co-founder, 41, each shared heartfelt social media posts to mark their latest wedding anniversary.

Williams' Instagram post featured photos of her family's costume party from several days prior. Ohanian and their 7-year-old daughter Olympia were dressed as Roman gladiators, while Williams and 15-month-old daughter Adira sported colorful looks. Another photo showed the tech executive kissing Adira on the head as he held her, and yet another captured the family of four posing together with big smiles.

"7 years has gone so fast… Happy anniversary @alexisohanian. Thank you for being the best dad to our girls @olympiaohanian and @adiraohanian," Williams wrote. "Thanks for also making average November day a costume party and making it special. ❤️❣️."

Celebrating Williams' role as a mom, Ohanian commented on her post: "❤️ Thank you for blessing me with the two best humans we ever met."

In his own Instagram post, Ohanian reflected on the couple's 2017 New Orleans nuptials.

"7 years ago today, we got married here," he wrote. "Now we get to bring these two for beignets. Happy Anniversary 🎉."

"You're an amazing mama. I'm very lucky to have met you @serenawilliams @olympiaohanian @adiraohanian," he added, alongside a snapshot of the family members all together, seemingly hanging in New Orleans.

The couple — who first met in May 2015 after they were seated next to each other at an event ahead of the Italian Open — tied the knot in 2017 at New Orleans' Contemporary Arts Center in front of a slew of celebrity guests including Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria and fellow tennis star Caroline Wozniacki.

Williams and Ohanian have been candid about their romance since then, including sharing how they keep their relationship fresh as they parent their two daughters and work together on a number of business ventures.

Back in 2021, Williams opened up about her relationship with the venture capitalist, admitting in an interview on The Question Game that "marriage is not bliss, but it can be if you work at it."

The 23-time Grand Slam winner also revealed that motherhood was always a goal for her, saying, "I always knew I wanted kids. I never knew when but I always knew I wanted kids at some point."

"I learned that love is an amazing feeling. And if you have an opportunity to feel it, then it's a special thing," she added.

Earlier this year, the couple had a hilarious viral moment as they were walking along the red carpet at the opening ceremony for the 2024 Paris Olympics. In several videos and photos, Ohanian could be seen standing behind his wife and older daughter, carrying an umbrella to protect them from the pouring rain.

A commentator for Eurosport deemed Ohanian the tennis star's "umbrella holder," not realizing he was Williams' husband.

"[Serena] looks absolutely incredible. She's got someone just behind us holding an umbrella," the commentator said. "Those are the levels you aspire to. To have an actual umbrella holder behind you."

Ohanian immediately got in on the joke, sharing a post from X that read: "TV commentator: 'Serena Williams even has her own personal umbrella holder'. FYI… the ‘umbrella holder’ ’is Alexis Ohanian, her husband. He’s one of the founders of Reddit. 💀."

In his own Instagram post with a photo of the viral moment, the tech founder joked: "I’m also Olympia’s personal umbrella holder."
