When Alexis Ohanian got into Serena Williams’ car

During ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’, the American legend opened up about an incident from her first meeting with her husband. She said, “I win the match and I’m going home and this guy gets in the car and he’s like six-five and he’s big. And I’m like, ‘What is this guy getting in the car with us for?’ So I look over at my agent and I’m like, “Jill, what is this guy doing? Why do I have security? You need to tell me if I have stalkers.’ Because you know how stalkers are.”

And she’s like, “No, no, no, that’s Alexis'”. Because he’s really tall. He’s six-five. So I thought he was the security. I’m a nightmare.”
