The tennis champion and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian tied the knot on Thursday in New Orleans at the Contemporary Arts Center surrounded by friends and family, according to multiple reports.

The wedding was reportedly “Beauty and the Beast” themed, with a performance of “Be Our Guest” opening the festivities.

The couple said “I do” three months after welcoming their first child together, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., who was also reportedly at the ceremony.
Stars descended upon the city earlier in the week for a rehearsal dinner at Emeril Lagasse’s Meril restaurant on Wednesday. Guests apparently dined on world famous beignets from Cafe Du Monde for dessert.

Williams and Ohanian, who’ve been linked since 2015, met by chance when he approached her in a hotel in Rome before the Italian Open. After months of dating, the couple returned to that same hotel and Ohanian popped the question.
Within a month or two, Williams learned that she was expecting but kept her pregnancy a secret. She went on to win the Australian Open in January before anyone even got the chance to send her a onesie for the baby.
