Tennis queen Serena Williams and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian are building a flourishing life together as wife and husband. They also have an adorable three-year-old daughter Olympia, who is now an internet sensation herself. Moreover, like every great love story, even their story began over a cup of coffee in the beautiful city of Rome, Italy.

The couple first met at Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Rome, in 2015. Serena had visited the city as a part of her preparations for the French Open.

Naturally, the American internet entrepreneur chose the same spot to ask Serena to marry him in 2016. The 23-time Grand Slam champion had written a poem on Reddit revealing her engagement.
