Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian are letting their daughters chart their own paths — with one caveat

Alexis Ohanian says his daughters can pursue whatever careers they want, as long as they keep this in mind.

Alexis Ohanian reveals that he and Serena Williams are allowing their daughters to pursue any career they desire, with one condition. The Reddit co-founder and venture capitalist shared this rule at Athlos LDN26, a women's track-and-field series he created. The couple emphasizes that their daughters should only pursue their passions if they excel at them and contribute positively to society.

To maintain balance, Ohanian and Williams make an effort to keep their daughters grounded amidst the excitement of elite athletes and high-profile events. Ohanian sees women athletes as inspiring role models but stresses that their achievements should not be solely defined by their gender. He believes normalizing the celebration of greatness helps closer to achieving their ultimate goal.

The couple openly supports their eldest daughter Olympia in exploring various hobbies, mirroring their approach to their daughters' future careers.
