Serena Williams has a new lifelong doubles partner. The tennis star and world's greatest athlete, TBH, just got engaged to her boyfriend Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit.

Williams made the happy news public—where else—on Reddit in a too-cute-for-words post. The announcement says, "Future Mrs. Kn0thing" —a nod to Ohanian's famed Reddit username— and features a cartoon version of Ohanian on one knee, offering a cartoon version of Williams (in a pink Nike tennis outfit, natch) a huge diamond. Both of their cartoon heads bare that signature Reddit antenna on top. No, you're crying!

Below the adorable image, Williams shared the story of their engagement in stanza form. Grab the Kleenex, and read it in full here:

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

To top it all off, the first comment on the thread is by none other than Williams' man. "And you made me the happiest man on the planet," he wrote.

Us Weekly reported that the lovebirds were dating back in October 2015, and it seems they're well-matched. Congrats, Serena and Alexis!
