When Serena Williams first met Alexis Ohanian in 2015, seeing this far ahead in the future did not come to her mind. What started as a formal gesture by Williams led to the beginning of their beautiful relationship. Their first date was completely unintentional, yet an absolute dream.

The two of them roamed around the romantic city of Paris ahead of her run at the French Open. They got to know each other, and this laid the foundation of their relationship.

The dreamy first date of Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian

All those who have seen, ‘Before Sunset’ can get the idea of how the first date of the tennis star and Reddit co-founder went. Both of them took to the streets of Paris. They talked and spent six hours in the city which shaped the beautiful beginnings of their relationship. Buzz Bissinger narrates the details of the date.

He said, “Alexis also sensed that this was not something Serena ever got to do as a worldwide celebrity, so much of her life being about regimen and glamorous scenes where acolytes circled like fireflies.” Furthermore, he wrote, “For six hours they walked all over, the magic of the day multiplied by the city’s heartbreak of beauty, which only made it more beautiful.”
