During a TED conference, when CBS TV host Gayle King asked the 35-year-old how she was sure that Ohanian was the one, she said: "I'm not going to say that out loud!" Williams added that her mother's opinion about him gave her the assurance to go ahead.

"He's very loving and kind. My mom said: 'He's very considerate', and as most children know, a mother's approval is just about the highest stamp of approval a girl can hope for," said the World No. 1.
