63. Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian

A popular proverb, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do,” or take some lessons from the goddess of love herself, Aphrodite. Serena Jameka Williams is credited for being one the best tennis players in history and is a household name in the United States. The Olympic gold medalist met her future husband in the city of eternal love, Rome. Williams reportedly had a meal before her Italian Open match, and out of nowhere, this guy just sits at her table. That “guy” turned out to be the co-founder and former chief executive of Reddit, Alexis Ohanian

Ohanian minded his own business when Williams politely asked him to leave. When he refused, they bonded over truffles instead, and the rest was history. Who would have known? That smug encounter turned out to be one of Williams’ pivotal life moments. Now she is happily married to the business mogul, and they have a daughter together.
