Olympic commentator mistakes Serena Williams' husband for her personal umbrella holder on the red carpet...
From The Sun
THIS is the awkward moment a Eurosport commentator called Serena Williams' husband an "umbrella holder".
Tennis superstar Williams, 42, took part in the Opening Ceremony for the Paris Games.
While on the red carpet, Serena stunned in a glamorous red dress.
She was joined by husband Alex Ohanian on the carpet, who chivalrously held up an umbrella for her to keep from getting wet, and six-year-old daughter Olympia.
But Eurosport presenter Laura Woods - making her first appearance on TV since announcing the wonderful news of her pregnancy - made a gaffe by failing to recognise him.
On commentary for the red carpet showing, she said: "She (Serena) looks absolutely incredible. She's got someone just behind us holding an umbrella.
"Those are the levels you aspire to. To have an actual umbrella holder behind you."
Regardless of the mix-up, Ohanian continued to hold up the umbrella as the camera panned to show them in front of the Eiffel tower.
In a red carpet interview he admitted not many people know who he is despite being the co-founder of popular social media site Reddit.

2 Things can be true at the same time. He can be her umbrella holder who happens to be her husband. A good white man is one who know his place to worship Black Women. This is Serena's show and we are all just lowly spectators.
At least they didn’t think he was Olympia’s umbrella holder. There is that.
Black ppl have been called and mistaken for worst. A real Yt man will take it in stride and not let his ego get in the way.
He seems to have a sense of humor about being her husband. And he makes great babies.
Worst things have been said about Black ppl. Hopefully he can cherish his Black Queen and not let Yt ppl shame him.
Good.
👀👀
She is over dressed
She runs him.
He was supporting his wife and now being getting criticized and ridiculed. What a shame.
Okkkkkk.....make a story out of anything
I ❤️ Serena.
^ you complain about this site discussing politics, about Snitch not using Disqus, now this. I’m surprised you still post here considering your daily complaints.
Anytime a high-profile billionaire gets mistaken for the 'help' is a story, lol.
Well, her husband is holding her umbrella.
