Serena Williams Proudly Shuts Down Claim of Professing Love to Husband Alexis Ohanian in Enchanting Throwback Tale
“I don’t like to lose,” are strong words from WTA legend Serena Williams. While she has remained true to her competitive nature throughout her two-decade career, she shows a softer side when it comes to her husband, Alexis Ohanian. Their relationship spans back nine years to 2015 when they first met in Rome ahead of her French Open title. Together, they have become a power couple that fans adore. Interestingly, Serena’s competitiveness extends beyond the court and into her daily life—even with Alexis! From playful banter to heartfelt affection, she often takes the lead.
On November 18, the couple sat down for a Spike Sessions chat on Lingo. They answered questions about their relationship while monitoring their glucose levels with Lingo biosensors. As they reminisced, they were asked who said “I love you” first. The couple hilariously gave opposite answers, with Alexis calling Serena out: “Come on now, you going to lie on this?”
They began dating in 2015 after Serena’s dramatic French Open win against Lucie Safarova. However, she admitted defeat to Alexis when she shared a funny tidbit: “I had some gelato, my glucose was too high, next thing I know I’m calling this guy and I’m like saying things I wouldn’t normally say, ‘I love you…’” This moment of vulnerability surprised even the GOAT herself!
