Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian enjoyed the Super Bowl 2025 halftime show even more when the former made a surprise appearance. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he shared his reaction, calling it a “pretty fantastic halftime show.” The moment had extra significance as Williams stepped onto the field during Kendrick Lamar’s performance of “Not Like Us,” a diss track aimed at Drake, whom she was once linked to.
Wearing a blue mini skirt and matching jacket, Williams recreated her iconic Crip Walk from the 2012 London Olympics. After the show, she posted a clip on Instagram, excitedly writing, “Let’s go Super Bowl halftime??! I died a little!” Later, in a backstage video, she laughed at her bold moves, joking, “Man I did not crip-walk like that at Wimbledon. Oh, I would’ve been fined. It was all love.” (via People)
Ohanian had already been excited for the show, posting ahead of time, “Kendrick Bowl is about to Kickoff.” He added, “Halftime show about to start and no one has left their seats.” His enthusiasm only grew after watching his wife take the stage. Williams, who shares two daughters with Ohanian, seemed to enjoy the moment just as much as the audience.
Her brief appearance also came amid the ongoing Lamar-Drake feud, which had been making headlines in recent months. Williams had previously joked about the rivalry at the 2024 ESPY Awards, saying, “If I’ve learned anything this year, it’s that none of us, not a single one of us, not even me, should ever pick a fight with Kendrick Lamar.” (via Billboard)
