Both Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian met for the first time in 2015 in Rome. Since then, they have come a long way, from welcoming a baby girl to getting married. 

We see Ohanian now, as one of the most sophisticated business personalities with a unique fashion palette. However, the Reddit co-founder didn’t always look like this. Recently, Ohanian shared an old photo of him, revealing his usual appearance before he met the 23-time Grand Slam champion.

Then, in a series of tweets, he explained the picture in a more hilarious way. In the first tweet, he said, “Someone just handed it to me, lol, I wish I knew more about cigars.”

Ohanian and Serena Williams’ love story

During a 2017 interview, Serena revealed that she and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, actually met by chance. In 2015, the American tennis player was in Rome, as she was competing in the Italian Open. By luck, both Ohanian and Williams were staying in the same hotel.

They started dating from that moment, and in 2016, Ohanian proposed to Serena in the exact same hotel and at the exact same table.
