HILARIOUS HYGIENE DISCUSSION

Ohanian’s tweet was in response to a post by a certain man named Joel Saxon, who asked Twitter users if they were a "full body washer" or an "'armpits and genitals only' person."

The doting father’s post amassed 647 retweets, more than 1,600 quote tweets, and over 2,600 reactions. It drew mixed reactions from Twitter users.

One Twitter user said that she was happy that Ohanian discovered the use of washcloths through his wife. Another user wrote that he was lucky to have Williams as his wife.

As the comment thread went longer, another user expressed admiration for Ohanian for being real, adding that the 23-time Grand Slam champion helped him broaden his horizons.

However, some Twitter users criticized his tweet and Ohanian replied that it was worth sharing a laugh. He added that it helps him to "de-program" amid stressful issues in the country.

HIS INFLUENTIAL WIFE

In March, Ohanian tweeted about his spice rack that only has a few seasoning and spices. But when Serena arrived in his life, he said his spice rack grew bigger, adding that he is in "a better place now."

Clearly, Williams has influenced Ohanian for the better. He shared with Glamour that one of the secrets to their successful marriage is that he has to show up and support his wife and her goals in life.

INSEPARABLE FOR THREE YEARS AND COUNTING

The power couple tied the knot in November 2017, two months after their daughter Alexis Olympia was born on September 1. Three years into their married life, Williams and Ohanian have been inseparable.

Besides being a brilliant entrepreneur, Ohanian has been a great father to his three-year-old daughter. One of the things Ohanian loves to do with Olympia is making pancakes.

Ohanian recently took to Instagram to share his fun take on the activity. The proud father held a pancake designed to look like Spider-Man’s head in the foreground of a photo.

Ohanian positioned the pancake close to the camera to cover his daughter’s head. He playfully captioned the picture with Spider-Man’s iconic lines.
