Melbourne: Serena Williams likes to keep her private life just that, but she was happy to reveal yesterday that meeting her now fiance, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, was just like a "fairytale".
Williams, 35, has been dating Ohanian since 2015, after a chance meeting at a restaurant in the Italian capital. "Literally by chance. It was just - I was sitting down, and he sat next to me," Williams said, adding that nobody introduced them.
"Yeah, that doesn't happen anymore, right? I live in a movie and in a fairytale in my mind, so I guess eventually it was bound to happen." Last month, the couple returned to the same table at the same restaurant, where Ohanian proposed.
