Tennis superstar Serena Williams can hear wedding bells coming. The iconic sports athlete has announcement an unexpected engagement to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
Williams went to Reddit Thursday (December 29) to break the news in a poem.
The tennis great has announced that she is engaged to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, 33. Fittingly, she broke the news in a poem – on Reddit. “I came home. A little late. Someone had a bag packed for me. And a carriage waited. Destination: Rome,” Williams, 35, wrote on her verified Reddit account. “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.” She continued: “But by choice. Down on knee. He said 4 words. And I said yes.” Ohanian shared the Reddit announcement on Facebook, simply writing, “She said yes.” (People)
Williams and Ohanian have reportedly dated for nearly two years.
Ohanian also announced the engagement on his Facebook page, linking to Williams’ Reddit post and adding, “She said yes.” Williams and Ohanian, who have been dating since the fall of 2015, have mostly kept their romance out of the spotlight, though she does post pictures of them on her Instagram account from time to time.

A few weeks ago, gossip circulated about rapper Common and Serena possibly dating again.
An eyewitness tells us Serena and the rapper/actor were in a back room chatting before she spoke to the audience at the grand opening of the Yetunde Price Resource Center — for people affected by violence. We’re told the exes were careful to avoid taking pics together, but individually each got a photo with Compton’s mayor, Aja Brown. They left in separate cars after the event. (TMZ)
Last year, rumors developed about Serena seeing Ohanian.
“They met at a lunch,” a source reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. “It’s new.” Although Williams, 34, was recently linked to Drake, a second source says it was simply a “flirty friendship.” Now, the tennis pro is making love part of her routine, bringing her new guy, 32, to her workout at the Los Angeles School of Gymnastics on Saturday, Oct. 24. Says an onlooker, “He called her babe and they held hands.” (Us Weekly)
This is why blogging has turned to complete shit and journalism is no longer credible. This woman is one of the world’s greatest known athletes who has her own success and you’re tying her with exes? Smh
This is a hip hop site. Her relevance to hip hop is her ex’s thats why.
why you hate black women?
unbelievably disrespectful to serena williams to label her simply as “common’s ex”.
This is a hip hop site. Her relevance to hip hop is her ex’s thats why.
she has a name, you fuck
Totally disrespectful. You could have titled this better. Hip hop related or not.
TRANNY
That headline calling her “their ex” is atrocious. So you are now not even defining her as the world champion tennis legend she is but instead defining her by the males she has been involved with? This once again proves, that black women are viewed as nothing but the property of black males. This is disgusting. You can’t say this is how she is relevant to Hip Hop as an excuse either because she is from Compton and that alone relates her to Hip Hop, not only that but EVERYONE knows who Serena Wiliams is. She is not some obscure woman no one knows about, that can only be recognized as a woman they had on their arms at one time. That should NEVER under any circumstance be the way this world record holding, legend is defined and you damn sure wouldn’t define any black male that way if he held that same status in sports. You must be out of your mind if you think this is acceptable.
She is the No 1 Tennis player in the world, If you were born in the 70’s or 80s your momma should slap you. Showing such disrecpect. Uh she can buy both of them rappers and sell them to Sony for a discount and still have money left over.
