Ohanian recently shared his prediction for the game amid a humorous chance encounter with a fan.
While recording a video of himself sharing his prediction, the Reddit co-founder found himself unexpectedly interrupted by a woman.
Hey what’s up? I was making a little video over here,” he said in the clip posted to Instagram.
The woman asked Ohanian if he was Serena Williams’ husband, to which he replied in the affirmative with a beaming smile on his face.
Are you Serena’s husband?” the lady asked.
Yes,” Ohanian replied.
She then inquired whether the 40-year-old was speaking to the 23-time Grand Slam champion, prompting him to clarify that he was simply making a video.
Are you talking to Serena?” she asked.
No, I’m not, I’m recording a video,” he responded.
Following this hilarious exchange, Ohanian got around to giving his prediction for the Super Bowl, favoring the Kansas City Chiefs to claim a 35-24 victory.
Chiefs are gonna win 35-24,” he said.
Tennis fans couldn’t contain their delight at Ohanian’s reaction to being recognized as Serena Williams’ husband, with fans praising him for his lack of ego.
The big grin you get when they call you “Serena’s husband” is so adorable. 😂,” a fan commented.
No ego and loves his Queen 🙌🏾,” another fan chimed in.
Meanwhile, one fan joked that the woman involved in the interaction would have undoubtedly joined the video call if he had indeed been speaking to the former World No. 1.
She was definitely going to hop in that FaceTime call if you were! 😂,” the fan posted.
