Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian Announce Amicable Divorce After Seven Years of Marriage
Los Angeles, CA – In a surprising turn of events, tennis legend Serena Williams and tech entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian have announced their decision to amicably end their marriage after seven years together. The couple, who married in 2017 and share two children, issued a joint statement citing evolving personal paths and the challenges of balancing demanding careers with family life.
“After much reflection and mutual consideration, we have decided to part ways as a couple,” the statement read. “This decision was not made lightly. We remain committed to co-parenting our children and supporting each other as individuals.”
Sources close to the couple say the split stems primarily from the pressures of high-profile careers and conflicting schedules. Since her retirement from professional tennis, Williams has shifted focus toward business ventures, philanthropy, and motherhood. Meanwhile, Ohanian continues to lead in the tech world and pursue his own projects. Despite efforts to prioritize family time, their growing professional responsibilities reportedly created emotional distance over time.
Insiders emphasize that there was no scandal or controversy behind the split—just the gradual realization that their personal goals and lifestyles had grown apart. Friends of the pair describe the breakup as respectful and mature, focused on maintaining stability and happiness for their children.
Williams and Ohanian have asked for privacy during this time and expressed deep gratitude for the years they spent together.
