Serena Williams Said She Wanted Italian Food, So Her Husband Flew Her To Italy

2018 has been quite the year for Serena Williams, and it’s only July.

She delayed her return to tennis in February to fully recover from the very difficult birth of her daughter Olympia, then came back strong in the French Open and Wimbledon, only to lose the final to Angelique Kerber earlier this month.

Serena dedicated her performance to all the new mams out there, saying in an emotional post-match interview:

To all the moms out there, I was playing for you today and I tried by Angelique played really well. I look forward to continuing to be back out here and doing what I do best.

No one has been more supportive in her comeback than her husband Alexis Ohanian, who has been making his pride in her known at every opportunity:

Days after our baby girl was born, I kissed my wife goodbye before surgery and neither of us knew if she would be coming back.

We just wanted her to survive—10 months later, she's in the #Wimbledon final.@serenawilliams will be holding a trophy again … https://t.co/W3eJQoHkTj pic.twitter.com/anN4dFr7O9

Basically, he’s her biggest fan, and it’s adorable.

It’s no surprise that he wanted to treat her after a tough couple of weeks – so when she said she wanted Italian for dinner, he went and flew her to Italy. Venice, to be precise.

It looked romantic AF:

They stayed in a suite that has an open ceiling, so you can see the stars from bed. And we can’t even get a text back.

Are there any other Alexis Ohanians to spare? We know a few gals who could do with one.
