Serena Williams just pulled off the biggest surprise since someone first put pineapple on pizza—she popped up at the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show, and her husband Alexis Ohanian is here for it!
On Sunday, February 9, during the highly anticipated showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, Kendrick Lamar took center stage at Caesar’s Superdome in New Orleans. The 37-year-old rap genius had the crowd going wild as he performed his now-iconic Drake diss track, “Not Like Us.” And just when everyone thought they were simply here for the music drama, Serena Williams stormed the stage like a champion walking onto Centre Court—except this time, she was serving dance moves instead of aces.
Dressed in a blue tennis skirt set (because why wouldn’t she remind us all she’s still the queen of the court?), the 43-year-old sports legend twirled, swayed, and maybe even threw in a victory fist pump. And let’s not ignore the extra spicy layer to this moment—Serena and Drake, 38, were romantically linked back in 2015. Coincidence? Maybe. Petty-level 100? Absolutely.
Naturally, Alexis Ohanian, 41, reacted the way any proud and slightly entertained husband would—by hopping on X (formerly known as Twitter, formerly known as a place where people just posted about their lunches).
“Pretty fantastic halftime show,” he casually wrote. Translation: “My wife just stole the show, and I’m the luckiest man alive.”
Look, we’ve seen Beyoncé shut down the Super Bowl, we’ve seen Shakira and J.Lo hip-shake their way into history, but Serena Williams showing up at the Halftime Show?This is the kind of plot twist we didn’t know we needed.
Somewhere, Drake is probably taking a deep breath, while Alexis is high-fiving himself for winning at life.
Pretty fantastic halftime show.
