Tennis superstar Serena Williams announced Thursday afternoon that she is engaged to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. The 35-year-old broke the news in the most fitting way possible: by posting the following poem she wrote to her beloved on Reddit:

I came homeA little lateSomeone had a bag packed for meAnd a carriage awaitedDestination: RomeTo escort me to my very own "charming"Back to where our stars first collidedAnd now it was full circleAt the same table we first met by chanceThis time he made it not by chanceBut by choiceDown on one kneeHe said 4 wordsAndr/Isaidyes.
The post was illustrated with a drawing Ohanian drew for Williams when asking for her hand:
Ohanian, 33, responded to Williams’s post with this: “And you made me the happiest man on the planet. Also—you’re a really cute Snoo. As I was drawing this for you, I thought, ‘Our Snoos should go out on a date sometime.’”
If that is not the cutest thing you have seen today, you must not appreciate cute and sappy things.
Williams and Ohanian began dating in 2015 but kept their relationship low profile, which is a change from other high-profile relationships Williams has been in with the likes of Drake and Common.
Both Williams and Ohanian are big names in their respective fields.
With 22 grand-slam singles titles to her name, Williams is considered one of the best tennis players of all time, male or female, and according to Forbes, she is the highest-paid female athlete in the world, having earned $28.9 million.
Ohanian co-founded Reddit, a user-generated newsite, in 2005 with college roommate Steve Huffman and sold it a year later to Conde Nast. He has been called “the internet’s own cheerleader” by the New York Times and “mayor of the internet” by Forbes.
We wish the happy couple all the best.
