Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, shared a welcome message about the Miami Heat’s blockbuster signing of Giannis Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo, a two-time NBA MVP and 10-time All-Star, moved to the Heat in a trade deal with Bobby Portis, with the Bucks receiving Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakučionis, the No. 13 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft (Nate Ament), First-round picks in 2031 and 2033, a pick swap in 2030 and a second-round pick in 2033.o from the Milwaukee Bucks last month.
With a couple of months remaining before the $170M-worth star (according to Celebrity Net Worth) makes his season debut, his wife Mariah Riddlesprigger gave a glimpse of the events that have unfolded behind the scenes. She took to Instagram to share a couple of glimpses of Antetokounmpo during a routine interview and photoshoot.
Thanks for the submission!
In one of the visuals, Antetokounmpo was spotted sitting for an interview and in another, he posed in the jersey with his wife, Riddlesprigger, who captioned the post:
“Hey Miami 🔥❤️”
Ohanian, who had wished to see the dream move turn into reality, dropped a special one-word message for Antetokounmpo and commented:
“Welcome 🙌”
When the deal was confirmed at the beginning of last month, the Reddit co-founder had expressed his delight with a wholesome message for Antetokounmpo. He stated that the best was yet to come for his “friend” who will target another title run at his new home.
Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian discloses his religious beliefs
Recently, Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian revealed his religious beliefs. He confirmed that he is a Christian while his wife is a Jehovah’s Witness. Fans have been speculating about Ohanian’s religious beliefs after the 23-time singles Grand Slam champion surprised her fans during a press conference at the 2018 US Open.
She was asked about the celebrations of her daughter Alexis Olympia’s first birthday. Williams ruled out the possibility with a simple reason: she is a Jehovah’s Witness. While Williams clarified her religious stance, Ohanian remained tight-lipped about his. He finally put the speculations to rest with a post on X, which read:
“For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11.”
On the tennis front, Serena Williams is currently recovering from an injury that she sustained during her first singles outing in four years at Wimbledon. Williams, who returned to competitive action last month, ended the four-year hiatus of featuring in a singles fixture on London’s lush green turf.
She pushed Australia’s Maya Joint to the decider but succumbed to a 3-6, 7-6(6), 3-6 defeat. She tweaked her knee late in the first set and couldn’t reunite with her sister Venus in the doubles event. Serena Williams has missed the Canadian Open, but fans will hope for her return at the Cincinnati Masters later this month.
