Tennis star Serena Williams engaged to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian

Serena Williams is heading to the altar. The 35-year-old tennis champion is engaged to marry her boyfriend, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. The couple has been together since 2015 and he took her to Rome where they first met to pop the big question, AceShowbiz said.

"I came home. A little late. Someone had a bag packed for me. And a carriage awaited," the bride-to-be appropriately broke the engagement news on Reddit. "Destination: Rome. To escort me to my very own 'charming.' Back to where our stars first collided."

"And now it was full circle," she continued. "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. And I said yes." Her new fiance chimed in, "And you made me the happiest man on the planet."
