Serena Williams‘ husband, Alexis Ohanian, has revealed that their daughter Olympia has demanded an allowance in Robux, a virtual currency used in the game ROBLOX. Ohanian, who introduced his daughter to gaming in 2022 was proud of her accomplishment.
Ohanian and Williams got engaged in December 2016 and welcomed Olympia on September 1, 2017. Two months later, the couple decided to tie the knot. In 2022, shortly after Williams had retired, she revealed to PEOPLE that her husband had introduced her daughter to online gaming. The former World No. 1 admitted she didn’t know how she felt about it.
Olympia's into gaming, her dad's got her into VR [virtual reality]. Not sure how I feel about that. It's the founder of Reddit, so that kind of makes sense.Serena Williams said

Alexis Ohanian admits he only regarded the NFL as the biggest sport before meeting Serena Williams
Alexis Ohanian recently revealed that while growing up he only watched the National Football League (NFL) and believed no other sport was bigger than it. However, it was after meeting Serena Williams that his views about other sports changed.
I didn't watch tennis until I started dating my wife. It was very much a football, NFL household. The NFL was it, and I thought that was the only sport that mattered. And then when I come to watch tennis, one of the big sports, it is the purest.Alexis Ohanian said on his podcast while speaking with former basketball player Shane Battier
Williams, who is regarded as one of the greatest female tennis players, claimed a total of 75 singles titles. At Grand Slams, she won 23 in singles, 14 in women’s doubles, and two in mixed doubles. She is the only player to complete a Golden Grand Slam in both singles and doubles, racking up a combined four Olympic gold medals.
The former World No. 1’s career came to an end at the 2022 US Open. After 27 years of playing professionally, her third-round loss to Australia’s Ajla Tomljanovic in three sets marked the end of a stellar career.
