35-year-old tennis superstar Serena Williams has happily announced that she is engaged to 33-year-old co-founder of Reddit, Alexis Ohanian.
She made the announcement via her verified Reddit account. Williams’ Reddit post reads poetically:
‘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
And I said yes’
Ohanian, on the other hand, shared Williams’ post on his Facebook page with the message: ‘She said yes.’
He also commented on her Reddit thread, writing: ‘And you made me the happiest man on the planet.’
The Reddit post included a cartoon sketch depicting the engaged couple as two different versions of the Reddit logo, an alien named ‘Snoo’. An inscription at the top reads ‘Future Mrs. Kn0thing,’ in line with Ohanian’s Reddit username, Kn0thing.
According to reports, the two have been together for 15 months but decided to keep their relationship fairly private, except for an Instagram picture Williams posted a month ago.
