The 23-time Grand Slam champion and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian got engaged in December 2016.

Williams, 35, started off her 2017 season in style when she broke Steffi Graf's Grand Slam record with a triumph over her sister, Venus, in the Australian Open final. She has since been absent from WTA events.

Williams said at a press conference after her win at the 2017 Australian Open in January that it "feels good" to be engaged but she and Ohanian have yet to make wedding plans.
