Williams met Ohanian met by chance when they both sat down next to each other during breakfast at the Cavalieri Hotel in Rome. "This big guy comes and he just plops down at the table next to us, and I'm like, 'Huh! All these tables and he's sitting here?'" the tennis star detailed in Vanity Fair's June 2017 cover story. To make the long (adorable) ...
Following Williams' victory at the 2015 Australian Open, she invited Ohanian to watch her play in the French Open, the second leg of the Grand Slam circuit towards the month's end. Skeptic at first, the entrepreneur flew over to meet her. Before the tournament commenced (which Williams would ultimately win), the two traveled around Paris together, ...
While Drake was in the stands at the 2015 U.S. Open to cheer on Williams, so was Ohanian. He shared a photo of the athlete on the court, writing, "Come at the queen, you best not miss. #USOpen."
Though Ohanian continued to hint at the romance on social media throughout 2016, the tech mogul didn't pop up on Williams' Instagramaccount until later that fall, when he posed for a group photo among her friends. In the caption, Williams teased Ohanian as a "nerd."
The two spent Halloween together, seemingly confirming their relationship on Instagram as they posed in a "couples costume" for the occasion. Williams posted a photo of herself and Ohanian dressed up in bear-themed looks.

Williams broke the news of her engagementwith a poem on — you guessed it — Reddit. She wrote: "I came home. A little late. Someone had a bag packed for me. And a carriage waited. Destination: Rome." She added: "To escort me to my very own 'charming.' Back to where our stars first collided. And now it was full circle. At the same table we first met ...

After securing a first-round victory in the Open, Williams opened up about her engagement in a post-match press conference, telling reporters, "It feels good." "I really haven't thought about it too much, because I wasn't even really gonna think about it until after the tournament," Williams continued. "So, I just keep saying, 'February, I'll start...
During a later match in the tournament, Williams was caught blowing a kiss to Ohanian, who was watching from the stands.
