Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian shared how he and his wife, tennis icon Serena Williams approach their kids\u2019 aspirations in life. <\/p>\n

Ohanian \u2014 who spoke to reporters Sept. 18 at the international debut of his all-women track and field league, Athlos, in London \u2014 told USA Sports <\/a>that the couple just has one rule when it comes to the future careers of young daughters Olympia, 9, and Adira, 3. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe one rule in the house is we don\u2019t care what you want to do when you grow up, as long as you do your best at it and you\u2019re doing something useful,\u201d Ohanian, 43, told the outlet. <\/a><\/p>\n

Ohanian attended the event with Williams, 44, along with their two children in a rare family appearance all together. The meet also included Olympic gold medalist sprinters Sha\u2019Carri Richardson and Gabby Thomas, who are also two of the league\u2019s athlete-owner advisors. <\/a><\/p>\n

Ohanian explained to USA Sports that that day, Williams was tasked with monitoring their youngest, Adira. Meanwhile, Olympia was out, interviewing the star athletes. <\/p>\n

Ohanian explained to the outlet that while Olympia was comfortable chatting it up with the athletes, she\u2019s not firm on becoming a journalist. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe hasn\u2019t mentioned journalist yet,\u201d Ohanian told the outlet. Right now, fashion designer is the number one career path that she\u2019s circling around.\u201d <\/p>\n

He joked to the outlet\u2019s journalist that their job is \u201csafe for now, but watch out.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s coming for journalism,\u201d he said. \u201cShe\u2019s gonna go be great.\u201d <\/p>\n

Ohanian and Williams welcomed Olympia in September 2017 while Adira was born in August 2023. They\u2019ve previously spoken about honoring their kids\u2019 own passions. <\/p>\n

In a January interview with TODAY hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones,<\/a> Williams shared that her children are in different sports that align with their personalities. Olympia, for example, is more interested in golf because she doesn\u2019t like to run, Williams said, laughing. Adira may end up being the tennis player in the family, she added. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian shared how he and his wife, tennis icon Serena Williams approach their kids\u2019 aspirations…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":854806,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-854805","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/854805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=854805"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/854805\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/854806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=854805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=854805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=854805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
