Serena Williams & Alexis Ohanian

Often in love stories, the couple sees each other for the first time and knows that this is the person they’ll spend their lives with. In the case of Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian, it is quite the opposite. The couple met by chance while eating breakfast at the Cavalieri Hotel in Rome.

Ohanian sat next to the tennis star at the table as she dined with friends. Annoyed by the intrusion, Williams made it known how uncomfortable she was with the entrepreneur. Of course, her future husband did not leave, and his persistence won him the athlete’s heart. In 2016, just a year after that incident, the businessman proposed to his sweetheart at the same hotel in Rome.
