Alexis Ohanian is proving why he's one of the best celebrity husbands and dads. During an exclusive interview with People, Ohanian revealed that he and his tennis superstar wife, Serena Williams, are leaving nothing to chance when it's time for her to give birth to baby number two.
"We're also obviously taking every precaution and doing everything we can to make sure everything goes smoothly for Serena," he said.

Many may remember the complications that Serena endured when she gave birth to her daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., in 2017.
After having an emergency c-section, which would be scary enough, Serena suffered from life-threatening blood clots.
"I ended up getting a pulmonary embolism in my lung, then I had a blood clot in my leg, and they ended up having to insert a filter in me to keep any more blood clots from coming and forming," Serena explained in a 2018 interview.
Serena revealed that she had to rely on her documentary Being Serena to fill in the blanks about what happened during her time in the hospital.
"When I watch (the documentary), it's like: 'Oh yeah, I remember that vaguely' or 'I don't have any recollection of that,'" she said.
Serena also explained that despite her celebrity status and immense financial privilege, she still had to fight to not become another mortality statistic among Black moms.
"No one was really listening to what I was saying," she said.
After living through such a traumatic experience and raising their daughter, Serena and her husband have a road map.
"We're not first-time parents anymore," Ohanian said. "I feel more confident about having a newborn, all of those things that I just had zero confidence about with Olympia because I’d never even been around babies at that point in my life."
Still, with a daughter who is almost 6, Ohanian might find himself in semi-familiar territory.
"I think I've definitely forgotten what it's like to have a new one around," Ohanian confessed. "So it might be a rude awakening, maybe literally."
Ohanian also revealed that no one is more excited about the baby (whose sex hasn't been revealed yet) than soon-to-be big sister Olympia.
"She's been wanting this. She's been praying and asking about this for quite some time, so she's very ready," he added.
