Venus Williams‘ nickname is a total ace.
Indeed, the pro tennis player shared the special name her sister Serena Williams‘ kids with husband Alexis Ohanian, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., 8, and Adira River Ohanian, 2, call her—and it’s cute as can be.
In a May 2025 article for UsWeekly, Venus shared, “My nieces call me Auntie Vivi.”
And for Venus, having a close relationship with her nieces means the world, as she also noted, “My proudest accomplishment is being a big sister.”
Soon, Alexis and Adira will also have a new uncle, as Venus confirmed her engagement to actor and model Andrea Preti in July, making it official to the media during a post-match interview by saying, “Yes, my fiancé is here. And he really encouraged me to keep playing.”
She also shared that her match earlier that day was his first time seeing her play, and it seems he may be her lucky charm, as she won her first singles match in over a year.
