So we met randomly in Rome, which is one of my favorite cities. And it’s such a romantic story,” Williams joked to Fallon
I went down for breakfast. Now, meanwhile, this was during a tournament,” Willams epxlained. “I never eat breakfast during a tournament, because I’m always nervous. I have all these nerves and I always stay in my room.”
“And I’m always like watching film and studying, but this time, I’m like, ‘I don’t care. I just need to get out.’ So I went downstairs, but the breakfast was closed, and so, I ended up sitting somewhere else,” she continued. “It was empty. Like, no one was there, so it was me and, my trainer and my coach.”
“We were all just sitting at the table, and then, this big tall guy walks in. You know, kind of frumpy and like hard. Like pounding each step,” said Williams, jokingly mimicking Ohanian’s steps with much exaggeration.
“He does not walk like that!” laughed Fallon.
“He plops down right next to us. And I’m like, ‘Who is this guy, and why are you here?’ We were being the mean team, and we kind of were trying to get him away.”
Which is why she invented a threat.
“We told him there’s a rat, like, ‘It’s moved. Be careful! There’s a rat,'” Williams recounted. “There was no rat.”
“And now we’re married, so….I don’t know,” Williams added with a laugh. Ah, romance!
