Serena Williams’ Husband Receives Diagnosis: Details
Serena Williams’ husband detailed his diagnosis on X (formerly Twitter) on July 16. In a series of posts, the Reddit co-founder explained that bloodwork confirmed the presence of Lyme disease, despite his lack of symptoms. “Doing a full battery of health scans, tests, etc., and found out I have Lyme disease,” Ohanian wrote, adding it was “wild” to be diagnosed without any symptoms but reassuring that he would undergo treatment.
Ohanian—married to Serena Williams since 2017 and father to two children—also mentioned a loved one who had struggled with Lyme disease and was successfully treated. Despite rarely spending time in tick-prone areas, Ohanian remains positive, stating he would “grab some antibiotics” and humorously added, “Can’t keep me down, tick!”
This diagnosis brings attention to Lyme disease, a condition prevalent among celebrities like Justin Bieber and Yolanda Hadid. Professor Paul Hunter suggests that celebrities might be more susceptible due to their lifestyles and access to outdoor areas where ticks reside.
Ohanian’s proactive approach highlights the importance of regular health check-ups and awareness of Lyme disease.
