Serena Williams’ Daughter Adira Joins Dad for a Sweet Social Media Moment

Ohanian often balances his intense business schedule with hands-on parenting. The couple welcomed Adira in August 2023, adding another chapter to their growing family, which began with their first daughter, Olympia, born in 2017. While Olympia has frequently appeared in public with her parents, Adira’s appearances have been far more infrequent.

In this latest selfie, Adira can be seen comfortably sitting next to her dad, all smiles during a carefree moment. Ohanian added a light-hearted caption to the image: “CHEEEEESING”

 

Ohanian Shares the One Parenting Rule He Never Breaks With His Daughters

Ohanian shared the one firm guideline he follows when it comes to raising his daughters and emphasized the benefits that come with it. When a user on X recently asked for his perspective on how parents should handle their children’s social media use, the 41-year-old responded by expressing his opposition to letting pre-teens and teenagers access any social media platforms. He said:

“There is no one way to parent. But since you asked for how I’m doing it, the answer is very simple – no social media. I’m not surprised by seeing a lot of governments now moving to ban social media use for pre-teens and teens. If everyone agrees to not be on social media you don’t create that peer pressure, you don’t have that spectre of fomo. And I think our kids, especially our daughters, end up having much healthier relationships.”

He further emphasized the need to protect children from the peer pressure often associated with social media, noting:

“I do think it’s really important that we arm our kids with understanding of just how fake and performative most of social media is. It’s sort of weaponized. The worst parts of youth culture and peer pressure, making it a status game of likes and follows and, it’s not healthy. Y’all can get this done, you don’t need a government ban to ban it in your own house. And I highly recommend it, not a bad place to start.”
