Serena Williams’ Entrepreneur Husband Alexis Ohanian Reveals He Has Lyme Disease

Alexis Ohanian is opening up about his health and a recent diagnosis.

The 41-year-old entrepreneur husband of Serena Williams took to X (formerly Twitter) to share that after some testing, he learned that he has Lyme disease.

“Doing a full battery of health scans, tests, etc, and found out I have lyme disease. Wild. No symptoms, thankfully, but gonna treat. Good cholesterol is too low. Bad cholesterol is just OK. Gotta work on that. On the plus-side: 822 ng/dL total + 162 ng/dL free testosterone,” he shared on his X account.

“I’ve got a loved one who had it a few years back, showed tons symptoms etc and just couldn’t figure it out until they tested him for it and then found it (treated it successfully, too). I spend so little time in the wilderness/northeast this was quite a surprise,” Alexis continued. He also encouraged followers to talk to a doctor and not take any health advice from him.

According the CDC, Lyme disease is a “bacterial infection spread to people through the bite of blacklegged ticks.”

Symptoms can include “fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system.”
