Serena Williams & Alexis Ohanian's Daughters Are the Sweetest Daddy's Girls in a Heart-Melting New Photo
Girl dads have a special kind of bond with their daughters, and Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian is the perfect example. He showers their girls Olympia, 7, and Adira, 22 months, with love. A heart-melting new photo prove they are Daddy's girls through and through, and we've never seen anything sweeter! 'London morning with my girls,' the Reddit co-founder shared on Instagram today. He added, 'Also stopped by the women's sports store pop-up—Up The Chels!' More from SheKnows Chrissy Teigen's Daughter Esti Had the Cutest Reaction to Lunchtime in a New Video & It's Such a Vibe In the first photo, Ohanian walks toward the London Eye, holding his daughters in his arms. Adira's hair is up in two space buns on top of her head, as she turns her head and rests on her dad's shoulder. Olympia hangs out on her dad's other shoulder, with one arm around his back and the other arm around her sister. She leans forward to rest on his shoulder in the cutest snap. He also shared photos from the pop-up shop, featuring a jersey by Lucy Bronze of the Chelsea Women Football Club, of which Ohanian is a minor investor. In the comments, people praised this outing, focused on father-daughter bonding time and supporting women's sports. 'You are the epitome of a well-rounded man. A devoted husband, an incredible father, and a driven, accomplished businessman. Your heart is as big as your ambition. We can see it!! Well Done!' one person commented. 'This is what a real man looks like – devoted father, not afraid of his wife's success, and pursuing causes and investments to make the world a better place,' someone else wrote. In May, Ohanian and Williams brought Olympia to a Chelsea game at Wembley, where they won the Treble. The tech founder told BBC, 'That is what we're trying to build here with Chelsea Women — not just to be the best team, but truly the best team in all of women's sports. This will be a billion dollar franchise one day and beyond, and I hope my dollars — or should I say my pounds! — can go towards that in a big way. This is going to be America's team.' He also shared that while his girls are active like their mom, they will be encouraged to do whatever they want when they grow up. 'Both those girls are active. Olympia's definitely been playing a lot of tennis and she plays golf too,' Ohanian gushed. 'I've definitely been trying to get her into soccer, but whatever she wants she'll be great. She's very excited to be a Blues fan.' A loving dad and a supportive man? We love to see it!Best of SheKnows July 4th Printable Coloring Pages to Keep Kids Busy All Day It's That Damn Phone: A Parent's Guide to Gen Z Dating in the Digital Age, From a Gen Z-er The Summer College Prep Tips No One Talks About — But Every Teen Needs

Emma Hayes joins the Guardian as columnist for Women's Euros 2025
Ahead of the Women's Euros 2025 kicking off in Switzerland on 2 July, the Guardian has announced that football icon Emma Hayes has joined the Guardian's award-winning reporting team bringing the latest action and analysis from every game of the tournament. One of the most successful football managers in history, Emma is head coach of the US Women's national team, Olympic gold-winners in Paris last year, and is the former manager of Chelsea Women, where she won seven league titles, five FA Cups and two League Cups. Emma will be bringing her unrivalled analysis in a series of columns for the Guardian and in a Q&A with readers. Emma's first column will appear online over the weekend of 28-29 June and in a special 32-page guide to the tournament in the Guardian on Saturday 28 June. Emma Hayes says: 'I'm very happy to be part of sharing insights around an unbelievable tournament, with a newspaper I love reading. This is a great opportunity, and not just for me to look at longer-term potential World Cup opponents and get to size that up with you, but also to see the development of football in Europe.' Will Woodward, head of sport at the Guardian, says: 'We are delighted that Emma is joining us for the tournament and we can't wait to see what she has to say. We are well-placed to deliver the richest and deepest coverage of the Women's Euros in another huge summer for women's sport. We also have big plans for the Women's Rugby World Cup – watch this space.' Emma joins our powerhouse team of writers and experts for the tournament, led by Suzanne Wrack, twice named women's sports journalist of the year by the Sports Journalism Awards. Suzanne will be reporting on all the action, alongside women's football writer Tom Garry, sports writer Jonathan Liew, football writer Louise Taylor, European sports correspondent Nick Ames and regular contributor Sophie Downey from the Girls on the Ball website. The Guardian is also publishing a brilliant interactive guide to all 368 players at the Euros, and our experts' network written by local reporters will forensically examine all 16 teams. The Women's Football Weekly podcast, presented by Faye Carruthers with Suzanne Wrack, will be released three times a week during the tournament and our regular women's football newsletter, Moving the Goalposts, will be out twice a week too. The Guardian is the only UK newspaper with two dedicated women's football writers.

Premier League 'bids to close financial loophole that helped Chelsea comply with PSR regulations' by selling hotels and women's team to sister company
The Premier League will reportedly attempt to close a financial loophole that has previously helped Chelsea to comply with PSR regulations. The Blues have undergone a period of heavy spending since a Todd Boehly-led consortium took over the club in 2022, with an outlay of more than £1billion on transfers during that period. This has meant they have been under pressure to meet financial rules, but in recent years the Blues have sold their women's team and on-site club hotels to a sister company which helped them to satisfy regulations. Chelsea's women's team fetched £198.7m, while two hotels brought in £70.5m in profit. And, according to The Times, the Premier League is planning to try and close that loophole at the league's annual meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. All 20 clubs are expected to be asked to vote on an alterations to rules that would state similar transactions would not be allowed to be declared as income for PSR purposes. For a measure to pass, 14 out of 20 clubs would have to vote in favour. The report goes on to say that the wording of any such proposal would be crucial, with similar attempts last year failing to go through due to this reason. It was felt the description was too broad and could lead to other unintended consequences in regards to selling assets externally. There is also said to be a feeling that if Chelsea have been able to benefit from the loophole then other clubs should be allowed to as well. The Premier League is still finalising how the proposed rule changes will be worded. The women's team figure is yet to be approved by the Premier League, although the club will argue that the recent eight per cent investment by Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, values them at £245m. Meanwhile, the regulations in the Premier League are different to that of UEFA, with the European football governing body not accepting the sale of assets to sister companies as income. This means that the transfer of the Blues' women's team in the run-up to the 2023-24 finances deadline allowed Chelsea to post a £129.6m profit for the Premier League, whereas it was a £70.4m loss for UEFA. UEFA restrictions are also stricter in terms of limiting the losses a club can make and the amount that can be spent on wages, transfers and agents' fees in relation to club's revenue. Chelsea's finances did receive a major boost last month when they qualified for the Champions League, something that can be worth up to £100million in prize money. Their triumph in the Europa Conference League final also earned the club around £15m and gives the Blues wiggle room as they attempt to meet PSR restrictions this time around.

British jewellery brand D Louise has linked with Chelsea FC Women as its first official partner, and for good reason. The high-profile team has just finished the domestic season unbeaten while winning all three domestic trophies and the tie-up will be a perfect platform to 'bring the brand's purposeful, tarnish-free pieces to fans and players alike'. Created to be worn 'through work, travel and exercise' and made from durable, waterproof materials built to be resilient, we're told the jewellery is 'timeless and designed for life'. From the 2025/26 season, fans will be able to purchase unique co-branded jewellery and attend watch parties co-hosted to support women's sport this summer. Players will also wear lines from its range on arrival at matches next season at its home ground Stamford Bridge, and at the Player of the Year Awards. 'More than a collaboration, the partnership is a meeting of shared values with strength and purpose defining both D Louise and Chelsea Women, on and off the pitch. A symbol of stability, movement and staying in the game, the jewellery… will represent both brands' commitment to purpose and perseverance,' the retailer said. Olivia Jenkins, founder of D Louise, added: 'This partnership means so much to me personally. [The brand] was created in memory of my mum, as a way to turn pain into purpose and create something strong, lasting, and full of meaning. To now align with Chelsea FC Women, a team that embodies that same resilience and heart, feels incredibly powerful. We're not just creating jewellery, we're telling a story of strength, of showing up, and staying in the game, no matter what life throws at you.'
