Thereafter, the friendship between them grew and the rest is history! Recently, the 23-time Grand Slam champion opened up about a hilarious incident from their first meeting.

When Alexis Ohanian got into Serena Williams’ car

During “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the American legend opened up about an incident that happened when he first met Alexis. She says, “I win the game and I go home and this guy gets in the car and he’s like six-five and he’s big. And I’m like, why is this guy getting in the car with us? So I look at my agent and I’m like, “Jill, what’s this guy doing? Why do I have security? You have to tell me if I have any stalkers. Because you know how stalkers are.

DIVE DEEPER

Additionally, she added, “I’m like, “You have to tell me when I have stalkers because it’s not fair. I need to know to be ready. If something happens, I want to be ready. And she’s like, “No, no, no, it’s Alexis.” Because he’s really big. So I was like, is it six-five? – It’s five past six. So I thought it was security. I am a nightmare.
