Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian said he was interrogated for two hours during his first date with Serena Williams, but it wasn’t the tennis legend who was asking the questions.

In the latest installment of her ESPN+ docu-series, “In The Arena,” Williams recalled when she brought her current agent Jill Smoller and her assistant at the time to her first date with Ohanian.

“Serena, her assistant, her agent, and then me on the other said of the table, and they just bombarded me with questions,” Ohanian recalled.

“It was like two hours of interrogation and questions. Do I have kids, am I married. Nothing was off limits.”

Smoller, who also appeared in the episode, said, “I totally tried to get the book on him right away.”

Williams recalled Smoller asking him about his dating history.

“Jill asked him straight up like, ‘What’s up with your girlfriend?’ and he’s like, ‘I don’t have a girlfriend.’

“He was saying that he had broken up with her. It changed things when he said that because I was like, ok, now he’s not being this beast,” Williams said, laughing.
