Over the years, Ohanian has also been pretty candid about his experience as a loving father. In 2018, nine months after Olympia was born, he gave an insight into how it felt like being a parent.

He revealed that being a dad gave him this clarity of thought around every decision he made — not just professionally, but personally. He explained that it was like a higher level of consciousness and added that the tot inspired him to live a better life.

The entrepreneur, who had to take a 16-week paternity leave after Olympia was born, also launched a new podcast called "Business Dad."

He sits down with celebrity dads for honest conversations about fatherhood, business, and how they maintain balance. He's had conversations with comedian Hasan Misaj and former NFL player Justin Tuck, to name a few.

The proud father also disclosed that whenever he and Williams were not working and traveling, they made an effort to be focused on one another.

With his evident effort and love as a father and husband, Ohanian has received a lot of praise from social media over the years. Though flattered, he believes that he is far from perfect.

The businessman, who met Williams in May 2015 at the Cavalieri hotel in Rome, believes he still has a long way to go before the praise feels deserved. Despite his sentiments, he has successfully proved to be the best kind of family man one could ever need.
