Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian's relationship is basically a romantic comedy come to life. Aside from living out our fantasies with a Disney-themed wedding, the couple, who are parents to 2-month-old daughter Alexis Olympia, had an adorable meet-cute. On May 12, 2015, Serena was having a casual brunch with friends at the Cavalieri hotel in Rome ahead of her first match in the Italian Open when a young man (Alexis) decided to sit right next to them, even though there were plenty of other empty tables to choose from. "This big guy comes and he just plops down at the table next to us, and I'm like, 'Huh! All these tables and he's sitting here?'" Serena told Vanity Fair of their first encounter. Thinking Alexis was only trying to get close to the tennis star, Serena's friend, Zane Haupt, did what anyone in that position would - he told him there was a rat.
