Tennis superstar Serena Williams has announced she is engaged to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, breaking the news with a poem on her verified Reddit account.

Williams, 35, and Ohanian, 33, did not reveal a wedding date in the postings, listed under the Reddit tag 'isaidyes'.

Williams posted on her account:

"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 r/isaidyes," 

A reply from his verified account said: "And you made me the happiest man on the planet."

The WTA Tour posted a photo of Williams and Ohanian on Twitter with a message of congratulations.
