“The couple met in 2015, and Ohanian, 34, co-founder of social news site Reddit, proposed to Serena, 36, in a surprise trip to Rome in December 2016.

“They had their first child, Alexis Olympia Ohanian, together in September, and she definitely will be attending the wedding, the source said.

“Alexis will have a babysitter on hand just for her the entire night.

“Both parents wouldn’t dream of not having her there. She will be a part of the wedding as much as possible for an 11-week-old. They are totally and utterly besotted with her.

About 250 guests are expected at the wedding, and they are all banned from using mobile phones and other electronic devices at the wedding.

This is because Serena has reportedly signed an exclusive deal with Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief at Vogue, for the magazine to run the wedding photos.

Naija News recalls that in July Serena Williams had denied planning a secret wedding with her fiance.
