AceShowbiz - Alexis Ohanian knows how to melt a girl's heart. Celebrating his wife Serena Williams' return to tennis, the Reddit co-founder put up four billboards featuring the athlete and their bundle of joy, Alexis Olympia. He shared pictures of the billboards to his Instagram followers on Tuesday, February 27.
The first three billboards each showcased a different photo of the mother-daughter duo and featured the phrase, "Greatest Momma of All Time." The final billboard showed Serena holding her daughter along with the words, "Serena Williams G.M.O.A.T."
"These just went up on alongside l-10 into Palm Springs," so he captioned the post. "@olympianohanian & I wanted to welcome her back to tennis. Designed them myself, with some help from Jr. #GMOAT."
Serena saw the billboards on Monday, February 26, on her way to Indian Wells, California, where she will compete in the 2018 BNP Paribas Open in March. It led her to take to the comment section of the post to write, "Literally am crying. This is so sweet. I love you."
It seems like Serena was not the only one who was touched by his gesture. His followers also took to the comment section to write gushing message such as "You're the husband goals," "Where can I find a man like this omg" and "He just might be husband of the year."
Alexis and Serena began dating in June 2015 and tied the knot in New Orleans last November. The couple welcomed their baby girl on September 1 last year. In a recent op-ed written for CNN, Serena revealed that she could have died giving birth to her daughter after getting blood cots in her lungs.
"My C-Section wound popped open due to the intense coughing I endured as a result of embolism," she recalled. "I returned to surgery, where the doctors found a large hematoma, a swelling of clotted blood, in my abdomen. And then I returned to the operating room for a procedure that prevents clots from traveling to my lungs. When I finally made it home to my family, I had to spend the first six weeks of motherhood in bed."
