Serena Williams is getting married!
The world famous African-American athlete took to social media today to reveal that she is engaged to the co-founder of Reddit Alexis Ohanian.
How?
By way of a poem.
I came home
A little late
Someone had a bag packed for me
And a carriage awaited
Destination: Rome
Back to where our stars first collided
At the same table we first met by chance
But by choice
Down on one knee
He said four words
And I said yes.
The message was posted to ‘r/isaidyes‘, a forum where users share their stories of wedding proposals after she bagged her seventh Wimbledon singles title and 22nd Grand Slam singles title.
Your thoughts?

I was almost scared to read. I thought she was going to announce her retirement! Congrats Serena ???❤️❤️❤️??
Probably because of Janet’s ‘I’m planning a family’ fiasco
I thought she was getting married to a woman
What a loss!
Oh please. It’s not like she hasn’t dated black men. She left herself open to the love that came to her, and I am happy for her. Free your mind.
Totally agree with you we are in the 21st century people should be free to someone in there race another race or, in there same gender 2017 is just around the corner lets hope we move forward and leave ignorace behind
Congrats to the worlds most talented successful accomplished & best female athlete of all time! She deserves it! So I’m assuming Kelly Rowland & Lala Anthony will be bridesmaids!
Word on the street is, Beyonce might sing at the wedding
@Amerikkka
No, I haven’t heard anything like that…Or is that something u just making up… Seems like it to me… the woman just got engaged!?
Interesting couple.
Yesss congratulations to her. I always felt
Like she deserved to be married. Some men can’t take a woman that’s accomplished like her. Instead of a hustler ,So she married a geek go Serena we’re all happy for you
I’m extremely happy for her. Some people are saying “get that money”, HOWEVER, Serena is worth far much more money than him, so I’m sure that wasn’t a factor as much as he can hold his own financially. She deserves to be treated like the queen she is. And from the poem she wrote about the proposal, he definitely does that. And can’t NOBODY fix their face to say anything about race. She gave hella black dudes plenty of her time as we have seen over the years… Congrats!
Are you on any kind of drugs?
The man is a billionaire.
You must be off of your meds again. Always going off in the comments. He’s worth 4.5 million compared to her 150 mil. It takes but two seconds to google it.
LOL @Shakira Stan. Nice try. Shakira’s hips don’t lie but your faulty research does. He’s a co-founder of Reddit which could possibly be worth billions at this point, but his actual share of it and total worth is in the ballpark of 4.5 mil as Lana Del Fan stated. #Byeeee
Co-sign ❗️??She tried it with hella dudes of her own race. I’m just glad she found her happy. Who gives a F what somebody looks like it’s only a shell. It’s the spirit that counts the most!
? omg! That’s amazing ? congrats ???? ?
I absolutely love her! Big congrats!!
I hope she gets a prenup. His net worth is the equivalent of 3 percent of hers.
Congratulations to her
Awww congrats Serena. Was secretly wishing that her and Common would have ended up together. But I guess he wasn’t the right one for her. Congrats on the great news and hopefully you’ll be ready to slay the courts in 2017!
Damn COMMON I sooo thought he’d be the one to wife her like what comment said from person above.
Glad she’s happy and ready for a giant step that can lead her into starting a family.
Legendrena Williams finally getting the love she deserves
I liked her and common together but something in me felt like they would crash. She’s a strong independent women and some men can’t handle that. But I don’t know ?♀️ them.
And this is how you know Drake and Serena were never more than shopping buddies who to trips to the spa and got pedicures.
He’s probably done picked out her dress already.
Congrats to her! She´s such an example. She and her sister. They have also proved how at their best an athlete that eats healthy and cruelty-free in a vegan “diet” can be. Real examples that should be followed.
Congrats to my girl Serena!!! It seems like the proposal was hella cute too. I can’t say I’m surprised by the vitriol that’s been spewed her way by bitter Black men. I’ve seen her been called all sorts of names – sellout, bedwench etc – all because her fiancé is a white man. Um, as far as I’m concerned, Serena has been quite open with the men she’s dated. Hell, many of us thought it’ll be Common that would’ve wifed her up. Plus, I think it’s super hypocritical of these men because they will be the first to down Serena and other black women (saying she looks like a man and s***) in the name of their white counterparts. I say she should continue to do her and let the haters seethe.
I think you are giving too much attention to “haters”. There are far more supporters and general tennis fans that like and support Serena’s decisions than haters so why give haters any attention? Haters don’t deserve your attention. I hope that she gets a prenup but I feel I am still more of a supporter even with the prenup comment because I want her to be happy.
