Alexis Ohanian, husband of tennis star Serena Williams, recently underwent surgery to remove suspicious nodules from his thyroid. Ohanian, who had been monitoring the nodules for four years, decided to have surgery after a biopsy revealed they were likely to become cancerous. His decision was influenced by his mother’s battle with cancer and ultimately her death from brain cancer.
After the successful surgery, Ohanian shared a message on Instagram urging men to prioritize their health, especially if they are fathers. He also mentioned that the worst part of his recovery has been not being able to lift weights, but he is looking forward to getting back to his routine soon.
His wife, Serena Williams, also shared a health update on TikTok, revealing that she had a benign cyst removed from her neck.
Celebrities and friends of Ohanian left messages of support in the comments section of his post, including Today contributor Jill Martin, who is now cancer-free after her own battle with breast cancer.
The couple, who have been married since 2017, are parents to two daughters, Olympia and Adira. Ohanian’s message about the importance of monitoring health and getting regular check-ups serves as a reminder for others to prioritize their well-being.
