Williams, 35, is engaged to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, 33. The US Open champion documented her whirlwind engagement on Reddit back in December with a poem.


Ohanian popped the question during an impromptu trip to Italy. He proposed at a restaurant in Rome at the same table where the duo first met on a lunch outing in 2015.


“This time he made it not by chance /But by choice / Down on one knee / He said 4 words And /isaidyes,” she wrote at the time, using the classic Reddit terms.

Ohanian, a Brooklyn native, also posted to his website at the time of the proposal with the line, “she said yes.”


Williams and the techie began dating in October 2015 and didn’t discuss their relationship publicly until the engagement news bombshell.


On Monday, Williams shared an adorable snap of her fiancé holding her up in his arms on a beach.


The star was a few weeks pregnant when she beat her sister Venus to win the Australian Open back in January.


Fans were quick to praise the athlete for her supserstar abilties and were minid-blown to learn she competed while a few weeks pregnant.


“Serena Williams won the Australian Open while she was pregnant. That woman is amazing,” one Twitter user wrote.


Another added, “Serena Williams was pregnant when she won the Australia Open in Jan. but I cant even get out of bed when I’m on my period. Sis is superwoman.”


A rep for Williams and a spokesperson for Reddit did not immediately return a Daily News request for comment.
