Even though we vaguely remember
hearing that Serena Williams was
dating Reddit co-founder Alexis
Ohanian last year, we’ve still
(naïvely) been clinging to hope
that the tennis goddess would end
up with Drake, her former rumored
sensitive arm candy. Alas, our
dreams of the ultimate American-
Canadian union were shattered on
Thursday when news broke that
not only were Williams and
Ohanian still a thing (what!?),
but they were actually newly
engaged as well.
If, like us, you’ve felt blindsided by
(but after a while, also
surprisingly cool with) the news of
the impending marriage of the
Sports Queen and Tech King, we’ve
done some digging to find out
everything we possibly could about
the betrothed couple. Here’s what
we know.
They Met at a Lunch, But
When? An Investigation
In perhaps the least Reddit move
ever, Williams and Ohanian met in
real life and not on a dating app.
To be exact, Us Weekly first
reported on their relationship back
in October 2015, saying the couple
actually “met at a lunch.”
Williams further explained in her
Reddit post announcing the
engagement that the “chance”
meeting occurred in Rome (at the
very same table where he later
proposed).
That initial Us Weekly article
didn’t mention a timeline of when
that meeting occurred, however, so
we put on our fedoras, donned a
monocle, and did some detective
work. In May 2016, Ohanian
posted a picture of Williams during
a tennis match, with a caption
that read “A year ago today, I
became a tennis fan. One of the
best decisions I ever made.”
