Who is Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian? Relationship details of Reddit co-founder

As Serena Williams advanced to the semi-finals of the ongoing Australian Open, her husband Alexis Ohanian cheered her on – all the while wearing a 'Greatest Female Athlete' t-shirt. The female, however, had been crossed out. The 37-year-old promptly trended on social media, users reacting to him calling out Williams' critics. Williams beat World No.2 Simona Halep in straight sets (6-3, 6-3), and will meet Naomi Osaka in the semi-finals.

I've resigned as a member of the reddit board, I have urged them to fill my seat with a black candidate, + I will use future gains on my Reddit stock to serve the black community, chiefly to curb racial hate, and I’m starting with a pledge of $1M to @kaepernick7’s @yourrightscamp

The news was confirmed in April that year, revealing that Williams was eight weeks pregnant when she won the Australian Open that year. Williams had also faced some post-pregnancy trouble after she had an emergency cesarean-section because her daughter's heart rate dropped during labour. The tennis star suffered from a pulmonary embolism, which delayed her return to training as she was bedridden for six weeks.
