Father-daughter time is a priority for Alexis Ohanian and his 6-year-old daughter Olympia, who he shares with wife Serena Williams. The Reddit co-founder recently revealed his “absolute favorite” tradition with his little girl — and the video is amazing!


“Bedtime story is my absolute favorite,” Ohanian wrote on his Instagram Story last night. But this isn’t just a regular bedtime story. It comes with entertaining voices and interactive components to keep his daughter engaged.

In the video, Ohanian cuddles up in bed with Olympia. “OK, it’s page three-oh-four,” Olympia tells her dad, reaching over to flip pages in the storybook that he’s holding.


“Do you want me to do the voices?” Ohanian asks. Olympia responds enthusiastically, “Yes!”

He agreed to do character voices as long as Olympia did Snow White’s voice. Once he flips to the right page, Ohanian clears his throat and starts reading. “Snow White and Rose Red,” he says in a deep British accent. As he gets into the story, we can’t help but get drawn in. Who knew he had these hidden voice actor skills?


At one point, he asks Olympia to read part of the story, and she shouts “Red! My favorite color” with a huge smile on her face. Reading is a buddy activity, and he is such a good dad including her to keep her attention and make the story more fun. The video cuts off right after to our dismay. Seriously — he needs to read kids’ books for a podcast or something because he’s that good! (Watch the video before it disappears HERE.)


The tech mogul, who also shares newborn daughter Adira with Williams, has many fun bonding activities with Olympia. He makes her “Papa Pancakes” on the weekends that look like actual works of art, he has a secret ritual with her when he makes TV appearances, and he treats her to “best day ever” days, where she gets to pick whatever they do. Their bond is one-of-a-kind, and we love to see it — every kid deserves such a devoted dad!

These celebrity parents are raising strong, resilient daughters.
