Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit and husband of tennis great Serena Williams, knows how to celebrate his wife.

Ohanian commissioned four billboards in California, US, to honour Williams as she prepares for her return to the tennis circuit next month. She’s set to play in the 2018 BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, which would be her first tournament since the 2017 Australian Open. (She played an exhibition match on Dec. 30, three months after giving birth to daughter Alexis Olympia.)

The billboards line the road on the way to tournament.

These just went up on alongside I-10 into Palm Springs. @OlympiaOhanian & I wanted to welcome her back to tennis. Designed them myself, with some help from Jr.#GMOAT pic.twitter.com/zRcMmxhgB5

The billboards, which have pictures of Williams and the couple’s daughter, read “Greatest momma of all time” and “Serena Williams G.M.O.A.T.”

Williams responded to the sweet gesture in the comments section of Ohanian’s Instagram.

“Literally am crying. This is so sweet,” she said. “I love you.”

Ohanian responded with a smile emoji, writing, “See you soon, GMOAT.”
