'Her Man Got Curves!': Serena Williams' Husband's Weight Gain Sparks Reactions after Their Recent Outing
Serena Williams and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, recently appeared in an Instagram photo that shocked their fans. Many wondered how her husband's appearance had changed so drastically and quickly.
Pregnant Serena Williams and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, recently appeared in an Instagram photo posted by JustJared. The pair were snapped leaving Art Basel in Miami by paparazzi. Fans were focused more on Ohanian than Williams.
Although Williams walked in front of her husband in the photo, fans noticed Ohanian's appearance. One fan joked that Ohanian, who was noticeably heavier in the picture, had gained sympathy weight while his wife carried their second child.
Another remarked: "Her man got CURVES!!!" One fan said that Ohanian had child-bearing hips, and one more said that an athletic woman and a chubby husband were not a good match. While many criticized Ohanian, others came to his defense.
One defensive comment read: "Y’all are ruthless towards a man who appears to be a good husband and father. How do your bodies look?" Another said Williams was a good person, and they were happy she found a good man.
Ohanian is an entrepreneur who cofounded Reddit and venture capital firm Initialized Capital. While he is successful in business, he has focused far more on his health than on business.
When his daughter was born, he knew that he didn't want to be a sluggish or unhealthy father. He wanted to be able to play with his daughter when she wanted to and knew he would have to make lifestyle changes to achieve that.
He switched to a plant-based diet to be able to become more athletic. It took a while, but he now enjoys his plant-based diet. He shared: "Now, I'm whole-hog, so to speak, on the plant-based revolution."
When asked if he had taken any pointers from how his wife ate, he said she was on another level. He then said that he still had to bug Williams to drink water even though she was otherwise very healthy.
