In 2017, tennis legend Serena Williams tied the knot with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. The New Orleans wedding was a lavish affair and the who’s who of the sports and entertainment industries were in attendance. The wedding took place two months after Serena gave birth to the couple’s daughter, Olympia. It’s 2023 now, and the couple is ready to welcome their second child in a matter of months. Right now, the Ohanian-Williams family is in Europe, and their first stop was in Paris. From Paris, the couple made their way to Rome, a city where it all began for them. Unsurprisingly, visiting the city brought back wonderful memories from the past of Ohanian.

Ohanian took to Instagram to share a moment from their dinner in Rome. The tech entrepreneur and investor also showed off his nifty selfie skills as the couple waited for the food to arrive.
