A congrats is in order for Serena Williamsand Alexis Ohanian, who are now officially married. Serena, 36, and new hubby Alexis, 34, have reportedly tied the knot after announcing their engagement back in December 2016.
The couple have been together since 2015, and their wedding comes just 11 weeks after their birth of their daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. on September 1.
And with Alexis being the co-founder of Reddit, and Williams being one of the greatest tennis players of all time, these two truly are the definition of a power couple. They wed at the Contemporary Arts Centre in New Orleans in front of their nearest and dearest – including a whole bunch of celebrities including Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, and Eva Longoria.
Kim arrived just in the nick of time to see her friend walk down the aisle, travelling via private jet with sister Khloe’s BFF Malika Haqq, and Malika’s sister Khadija. Also in attendance was fellow tennis ace Caroline Wozniaci with her new fiance, NBA player David Lee.
The ceremony took place a day after the couple had their star-studded rehearsal dinner on Wednesday night. Serena was spotted on her way to the restaurant keeping her face out of the way of the lens; she wore a full-length ivory colored dress with pearls for the elegant dinner – but as of yet, no peek of the wedding dress
Her sister Venus decided on a silky dark blue dress, and their mother Oracene Price, who wore a short, purple dress in velvet with diamante detailing for the dinner.
The tennis star’s agent Jill Smoller was apparently also among the guests at the wedding, as was Serena’s sister Venus.
It was thought that guests including Beyoncé, Jay-Z and Kris Jenner were also invited but they managed to avoid the waiting paparazzi.
Williams announced her engagement last year with a poem posted to Reddit.
‘I came home. A little late. Someone had a bag packed for me. And a carriage waited. Destination: Rome,’ Williams posted under her personal account.
‘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 by chance,’ she wrote. ‘But by choice. Down on knee. He said 4 words. And I said yes.’
