Serena Williams has nested a comfortable and successful portfolio through her applaudable tennis career over years of magnificent on-court performances.
Like any other star, Serena’s career has been riddled with numerous amount of controversies and has dealt with issues surrounding her body, racial slurs, and competition with yet another famous tennis player who also happens to be her sister, Venus Williams.
Notoriously regarded as ‘The King of WTA’ Williams, unfortunately, stepped away from professional tennis last year in 2022, breaking the expectations of her fans to battle for Margaret Court’s 24 Grand Slam titles record.
Serena’s love life hasn’t been less passionate than her love for tennis and has yielded occasional media pop-ups, certifying the American tennis icon’s family as one of the most adorable things a person could imagine and also applauding her husband to come to her rescue whenever any form of disrespect was thrown at her way.
For instance, in 2018, Serena was questioned on whether her opponent’s supermodel features intimidated her to which a Romanian businessman and former tennis professional Ion Tiriac later commented saying “with all due respect. 36 years old, weighs 90 kilograms. I would also like something different for women.”
When Serena was asked to give her thoughts on the same, in retaliation to his statement said “I’ll talk to him, believe me, I’ll talk to him. His comment is unqualified and sexist – and maybe he’s an ignorant man.” The feud, however, did not end there as Tiriac hearing Williams’ thoughts expressed his side saying “does not move as easily as she did 15 years ago due to her age and weight.”
The mere mockery of the tennis legend for obvious reasons saw the rise of her husband Alexis dozing the insults in a trio of posts saying “safe to say no one gives a damn what Ion Țiriac thinks.” “Had to Google it… turns out my 3-year-old has more Grand Slam victories than this 🤡🤡” “2021 and no holding back when a racist/sexist clown with a platform comes for my family.”
The 23-time Grand Slam champion tied the knot in 2017 with famous internet personality Alexis Ohanian after being blessed with the birth of their firstborn daughter Olympia Ohanian.
Alexis Ohanian used his $50 million crypto to buy his wife Serena Williams an engagement ring
Serena Williams during her WTA Tour in Rome, Italy, had a bizarre and unexpected first meeting with her better half in her hotel’s restaurant where the pair was seated for breakfast.
The couple got engaged in 2016, and according to the latest reports, Alexis used $3 million to buy Serena an engagement ring which came from his $50 million profit from cryptocurrency.
