Serena – as she’s known by has been proposed to by Alexis Ohanian; a guy she’s been dating for just over a year.

Williams came home one day and there was a airline ticket waiting for her; the ticket was to Rome where the couple first met.  She was instructed to come to the same restaurant and the two actually sat at the same table.  It was then that he proposed and Ms. Serena said “Yes”!!

Serena wrote a poem in the midst of all this excitement.

Her poem:

 “I came home/A little late/Someone had a bag packed for me/And a carriage awaited/Destination: Rome/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/This time he made it not by chance/But by choice/Down on one knee/He said 4 words/And I said yes.”
