Alexis Ohanian explains why he doesn’t mind being referred to as “Serena’s husband” in spite of all his achievements, says “It’s pretty liberating”

Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian has said he doesn’t mind being the lesser known person in his relationship even with all his achievements. He also said he doesn’t mind being referred to as “Serena’s husband” and he went on to explain why.

Alexis is the co-founder of the social news website Reddit. He also co-founded the early stage venture capital firm Initialized Capital. But people know him more as Serena Williams’ husband and he’s usually referred to as such.

A Twitter user asked if he isn’t bothered by this and he said, “I don’t mind at all”. He went on to explain that even if his latest venture grows to be one of the greatest of all time, it will still not compare to what his wife “has done and will continue to do”.

He went on to add:

I’m used to being the face of my companies, so I enjoy not being the “public-facing” partner in my marriage.
