Alexis Ohanian and Serena Williams.

The last six months have been huge for Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian.

The tennis superstar and the Reddit cofounder, respectively, found out they were expecting a child and got engaged - all since December.

But things weren't always perfect. In fact, when they first met, Williams tried to get Ohanian to go away by telling him there was a rat nearby.

In the July cover story of Vanity Fair, writer Buzz Bissinger got the inside look at their love story. That, along with Instagram sleuthing, helped us compile the story of Ohanian and Williams' whirlwind romance.

Here's how this power couple from opposite worlds fell in love.
