Tennis legend Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian have just one rule in their household, when it comes to discussing the career prospects of their daughters Olympia (9) and Adira (3).

"The one rule in the house is we don't care what you want to do when you grow up, as long as you do your best and it's something useful," Ohanian told media outlet USA Sports recently.

He went on to add that Olympia intends to be a fashion designer, but does not rule out a career in journalism.

"Right now, fashion designing is the No. 1 career path that she's circling around," said Ohanian, before jokingly telling the reporter: "You're job is safe for now, but she may come into journalism, and she's going to be great at that, I feel."
