Serena Williams reveals why she’ll not celebrate her daughter’s birthday

1 Min Read

Serena Williams’ daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian turns 1 this week but her mother revealed she will not celebrate her birthday.

The ultra successful tennis player has confirmed that she will not be celebrating her baby girl’s first birthday, due to her beliefs as a Jehovah’s Witness.

She made this known while speaking at a press conference at the US Open.

A reporter asked Serena: “Is there a birthday party planned?”
And Serena replied:

“Olympia doesn’t celebrate birthdays. We’re Jehovah’s Witnesses, so we don’t do that.”

Though Serena’s husband – Reddit co-founder – Alexis Ohanian, did not grow up in a religious household, it is widely believed that he is now practicing with his wife.

Speaking to Vogue last year, Serena said:

“Being a Jehovah’s Witness is important to me, but I’ve never really practised it and have been wanting to get into it. Alexis didn’t grow up going to any church, but he’s really receptive and even takes the lead. He puts my needs first.”
