Serena Williams and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian are engaged, they announced Thursday on Reddit.

The tennis star — who is verified on Reddit — shared the news of their engagement on the forum /r/isaidyes, saying:

I came home

Someone had a bag packed for me
And a carriage awaited
Destination: Rome
To escort me to my very own "charming"

But by choice
Down on one knee
He said 4 words
And
