Serena Williams‘ husband Alexis Ohanian got served with a new title at the 2024 Paris Olympics—and his response to it is a grand slam.
During Eurosport‘s live TV coverage of the Opening Ceremony July 26, co-host Laura Woods commented that the tennis star arrived with an “umbrella holder,” referring to her spouse, who held one up for his wife to shield her from the rain as they walked the red carpet with their daughter Olympia, 6.
“Olympia. Serena. Serena’s Personal Umbrella Holder,” the Reddit co-founder later captioned an Instagram pic of himself with his wife and daughter at the Opening Ceremony, adding a laughing face emoji. “Let the games begin!”
Laura had made her comment after complimenting Serena’s style—a red, ruched midi bodycon dress paired with brown pointed pumps.
“She looks absolutely incredible,” the TV presenter said. “She’s got someone just behind us holding an umbrella. Those are the levels you aspire to. To have an actual umbrella holder behind you.”
