Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary Tuesday by posting a sweet tribute for the tennis star on social media.

The Reddit co-founder shared on Instagram a throwback photo from their lavish wedding in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Nov. 16, 2017. Ohanian, 38, accompanied it with a sweet message for his 40-year-old wife.

"4 years ago you made me the happiest man in the world and our little family keeps me feeling more grateful every day. Nov. 16 will always be a very special day for our family [red heart emoji]," he wrote. "Happy anniversary @serenawilliams."

"Thank you for bringing this joy named Olympia into our life even though you always fall asleep in the middle of our movie nights," the father of one continued.

Ohanian also shared a photo of them with 4-year-old daughter Alexis Olympia at the Los Angeles premiere of "King Richard," which Williams executive produced with her sisters. "King Richard" follows the Williams family's rise to champions status in the tennis world, led by Serena and her sister Venus Williams' father Richard.

Williams also marked their marriage milestone by sharing a series of family photos, including a wedding picture and a shot of her husband carrying their daughter when she was a baby.

"4 years later on this special day. I have so many fun memories. Stroll down memory lane with me. @alexisohanian here's to making each day together special. Happy anniversary," Williams wrote.

Fans and followers of the couple showered them with love in the comments section.

"Happy anniversary guys. Forever’s ahead," Ufuoma McDermott wrote.

"I love you so much!!!!!! Proud of you baby," Loren Ridinger wrote. "Best momma and wife ever."

"Legit just finished watching your three-year-old interview on [Stephen Colbert's] show explaining how y'all met, and boom, its anniversary. Gladdens my heart. Best years ahead guys," one fan commented.

"Happy anniversary to my favorite couple. I hope that you will be blessed with many more," another Instagram user wrote.

Williams and Ohanian met in May 2015 while they were staying at the same hotel in Rome during the Italian Open. After dating for over a year, the entrepreneur proposed in December 2016 at the same Rome hotel.

They welcomed their first child, daughter Olympia, in September 2017. Two months later, the couple wed in a ceremony attended by her sister Venus, Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Caroline Wozniacki, Kelly Rowland and Ciara, among others.

Ohanian also recently gushed over his wife in a tribute he posted in September for her 40th birthday.

"The incomparable @serenawilliams - grateful for every minute I get with my amazing wife & Olympia's mama," he wrote alongside a black and white photo of them at this year's Met Gala.
