Who is Serena Williams's husband, the Reddit co-founder she married in 2017?

The story behind the answer

Serena Williams's husband is Alexis Ohanian, the Reddit co-founder she married in 2017.

Ohanian co-founded Reddit in 2005 with Steve Huffman and later became a prominent entrepreneur, investor, and advocate for paid parental leave. He met Williams in 2015, and they became engaged in December 2016 after he proposed in Rome.

The couple married on November 16, 2017, in New Orleans, in a ceremony attended by celebrities including Beyoncé, Anna Wintour, and Kim Kardashian. Their daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., was born in September 2017, before the wedding.

A common mix-up is confusing Ohanian with other technology founders such as Jack Dorsey or Kevin Systrom. Ohanian is specifically associated with Reddit, which he co-founded with Huffman and Aaron Swartz.
