Big news for Serena Williams. The 35-year-old revealed today that she is engaged to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian!

Serena fittingly broke the news on Ohanian’s site via a reddit post.

I came home
A little late
Someone had a bag packed for me
And a carriage awaited
Destination: Rome
To escort me to my very own “charming”
Back to where our stars first collided
And now it was full circle
At the same table we first met by chance
This time he made it not by chance
But by choice
Down on one knee
He said 4 words

Ohanian responded: “And you made me the happiest man on the planet.”


Serena and Ohanian were first linked publicly just over a year ago when she had her phone stolen from a resteraunt.

No wedding date has been announced (post US Open?). Serena opens her 2017 season next week in Auckland.

What a surprise!

Congrats to Serena!


jalep Says:

Seems a bit sudden. Or is it? I’m not an expert on the subject.

All the best and may their dreams come true!


lakie Says:

Great news! Now Venus should hurry up and get engaged too Otherwise she will feel lonely. The sisters are almost like twins and I think they live together.


BBB Says:

Eh, Venus was engaged before.


lakie Says:

Who is Venus engaged to?


BBB Says:

She was engaged to Hank Kuehne a few years ago. Golf pro.


jalep Says:

Maybe Ohanian has a cousin or an uncle?

I don’t trust golf pro’s.


RZ Says:

Congrats to Serena. With her Twitter and Instagram following and Ohanian’s role with Reddit, they are a social media power couple!


Humble Rafa Says:

Not a bad one for the Big Lady. All the experience she has accumulated sleeping with coaches over the years will come in handy. I feel bad for the current coach, he may miss it.


lakie Says:

Wozniacki would definitely agree with Jalep about golf pros. Probably so would Elin Nordegren


Danica Says:

Congrats to Serena and best of luck!
