Serena Williams may be the GOAT of her family (and the tennis world at large), but her 6-year-old daughter Olympia is the queen. Just ask Olympia’s papa (and Williams’ husband) Alexis Ohanian. He gave his daughter the royal treatment on a recent beach vacation, and the photos prove she rules their household.
“’Papa, uppy!!’” the Reddit co-founder captioned a new post on Instagram, quoting Olympia. “@olympiaohanian doesn’t wanna get her wet feet covered with sand, so I gotta carry her back to the golf cart,” he added.
The accompanying pictures tell the story of this diva moment. First, Olympia is pictured running on sand toward the beautiful blue ocean beyond. She gets her feet wet, turning to show off her pretty pink-and-green floral dress. But once the moment is over, Olympia doesn’t deign to walk back. Why would she when her royal handler (AKA, her dad) could just lift her up and carry her back to the carriage — er, cart — instead? Ohanian smiles in the last photo. Even though she’s heavy and it’s hot, he is soaking up every moment with his eldest child like the proud papa he is.
“Somehow I don’t think you mind. ☺️” one person commented on the cute post. “Always always ALWAYS the answer is yes. ❤👑☀️🌊🌴” another said.
“You probably know this but your best smile is when you’re holding her 💜 ,” someone else wrote.
The 776 Fund founder opened up about family life last summer, before their daughter Adira was born in August. “Serena has never been too far away from Olympia for too long, never more than even a couple of nights,” Ohanian told Yahoo! Life. “She is an ever-present, ever-available, ever-loving mom. But [Olympia and I] go on adventures, daddy-daughter dates, I take her to go play mini golf, and Serena gets all her time to do, honestly, whatever she wants. It’s usually still some kind of work or maybe a little self-care.”
He also shared that he does his best to stay present. “I want to be the best at everything I do,” Ohanian told the outlet. “[That means] when I’m on the clock, and when I’m in dad mode. I really pride myself on it, because I know it means Olympia is getting a dad who’s super-engaged. And hopefully she values that, and hopefully, I’m doing a good job. We’ll see.”
From what we can see, he’s doing amazing!
