However, there is a rumor floating around that Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian could be heading for a separation after nearly 7 years of marriage.

She mentioned her daughters, her sister Venus Williams, and even her father Richard while also touching upon her life post-retirement. Strangely, she didn’t mention Alexis Ohanian’s name even once. While this could be a very normal thing, where his name didn’t come up, it certainly didn’t help in quashing those rumors.
