CNN presenter Chris Wallace first asked the tech guru about the current interests of his five-year-old daughter Olympia.
“Now you and Serena have a five-year-old daughter, the famous Olympia,” Wallace began. “Mom teaches her how to play tennis. So is Olympia more interested in technology or tennis?”
“At this point, she’s more of a jock than a nerd,” admitted Ohanian. “Thanks to the AI, I really got them into the tech through the storytelling. And that’s how we do bedtime stories by prompting ChatGPT and saying, you know, I’m going to ask ChatGPT to give me a bedtime story that’s appropriate for a six-year-old.” -alt. It takes 10 minutes to read.”
He said he’s also getting Olympia to work with the artificial intelligence to create a story: “It’s basically dictating the prompt for the AI. And then we hit enter and watch it come out. I’ll print it out and read it to her. “Bedtime.”

Wallace then turned to the big baby news: “So, Serena, and you went to the Met Gala last week and made an announcement there, and we have the photo evidence that says you’re both having another child.”
“It is official. It’s official Chris, big reveal,” Ohanian replied.
“Do we know if it’s a boy or a girl,” the reporter asked, “and will you tell us if it’s a boy or a girl?”
“We don’t,” Ohanian said. “I am convinced that I will be a girl father. So even if we have 50 more children, they will all be girls. But we will see.”
Last August, Serena wrote an essay for Fashion that she would retire from tennis and focus on expanding her family.
“Over the past year, Alexis and I have been trying to have another child,” Serena wrote. “And we recently received some information from my doctor that has put my mind at ease and made me feel like whenever we’re ready, we can expand our family. As an athlete, I definitely don’t want to get pregnant again. I need that to be two feet in tennis or two feet out.”
“Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” airs Fridays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CNN, and new episodes are also available Friday mornings on HBO Max.
