Devoted Father Alexis Ohanian Gushes Over Daughter Olympia’s Charming Moment After Becoming the Youngest Sports Owner in 2022

Serena Williams‘s businessman husband, Alexis Ohanian wants to set a comfortable life for his daughters. Be it their pancake sessions or bringing gifts from work trips, Ohanian never fails to shower love for Olympia. Revealing this Reddit co-founder’s wish for “her (Olympia) to have a front row seat to this revolution,” Ohanian not only made her the youngest pro soccer club owner but made sure “to be a part of making a better future” for her. Making slow but steady progress to that, Alexis Ohanian melted the hearts with an old video of his father-daughter moments from Angel City FC’s match.
Ohanian took to his X page to share an old video of him attending an Angel City FC match with his Olympia. The video showed that people could see Olympia and her Reddit co-founder getting a space on the stadium’s big screen, where the organizers captioned Olympia Ohanian as the youngest owner of a pro soccer club. Sitting on her father’s lap, Olympia smiled and eventually became shy and hid her face on her father’s neck.
“I just stumbled on this old video and it made me smile,” Alexis Ohanian tweeted, remembering the time Olympia became an owner before turning 10. This video was from the 2022 NSWL draft in April.

In 2020, Olympia Ohanian became one of the owners of Angel City FC at just 3 years old. Her father, along with other owners, managed to bring Angel City to NSWL by 2022. Serena Williams’ elder daughter, Olympia, has an Instagram account of her own, which previously shared the adorable girl’s impressive footwork as she scored a goal. “Running with the Angels @weareangelcity@thinkbetterjair w the assist,” was the caption.
Olympia’s famous father is the leading investor in the women’s soccer club. In a 2022 interview with People Magazine, Alexis Ohanian spoke about how he wishes his elder daughter will understand the excitement of owning a team in the future. “Right now all Olympia knows is that Angel City FC is our team, and she loves cheering for them, I think as she gets older, maybe she’ll come to see the different layers to it,” he said.
As Olympia became the youngest soccer club co-owner, her father revealed how Olympia is still too young to get a grasp of it. “Obviously, being the youngest owner of pro sports is pretty fun, but she doesn’t actually understand that she is the youngest owner in pro sports,” he said mentioning how much he wishes “to keep that for as long as” possible.
