Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian got married in 2017 after meeting in 2015 at a hotel in Rome
Serena Williams is a boss on the tennis court, but when it comes to her relationship with Alexis Ohanian, she brought in her squad to vet him.
The Reddit cofounder said, “Nothing was off limits,” during the nerve-wracking dinner. “Serena, her assistant, her agent and then me on the other side of the table and they just bombarded me with questions,” Ohanian recalled. “Then he said that he had broken up with her. It changed things when he said that because I was like, ‘OK, now he’s not being this beast,” the 23-time Grand Slam winner said with a laugh.
Ohanian noted that his love of the superhero genre 'wasn’t just superficial,' or that he had 'watched a few movies.' He explained that he has “deeply studied the text and I have strong opinions about this lore.”Smoller, meanwhile, saw the spark between her longtime client and Ohanian instantly. “It was so fascinating, because they both loved the same things,” she said. “I’m like, Jesus, she can finally talk to people who like the things she does.
The rest is history for the couple. Ohanian proposed to Williams in December 2016 at the same hotel where they first crossed paths in Italy.
