"[Alexis] Olympia doesn’t celebrate birthdays. We’re Jehovah’s Witnesses, so we don’t do that."https://www.instagram.com/p/Blnh0CNnrGb/?taken-by=olympiaohanian Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate religious holidays such as Christmas and Easter. They also do not observe birthdays or national holidays, as they feel several of these "festivals" have pagan origins. Serena Williams tied the knot with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian last November, in a beautiful ceremony at the New Orleans' Contemporary Arts Center. https://www.instagram.com/p/BjxErpTFqpw/?taken-by=serenawilliams In an interview with Vogue last year, she hinted that her husband is also now practicing her belief - despite the fact that he did not come from a religious upbringing. She said:
“Alexis is basically the guy I’ve always told my friends to look for, since I love to give advice. “He’s extremely smart but not a know-it-all. He’s curious about what he doesn’t know. "Being a Jehovah’s Witness is important to me, but I’ve never really practiced it and have been wanting to get into it. "Alexis didn’t grow up going to any church, but he’s really receptive and even takes the lead. He puts my needs first.”https://www.instagram.com/p/BhZvz6uFvel/?taken-by=serenawilliams They welcomed their first child, Alexis Olympia, on September 1, 2017.
