AUCKLAND: She surprised the world with her exciting engagement announcement last week. And now ringing in the New Year together, Serena Williams, 35, stepped out in style with her new fiance Alexis Ohanian, 33, as they welcomed 2017 in Auckland, New Zealand.

The tennis star, who revealed her engagement with the Reddit co-founder in a sweet poem, flaunted her enviable toned pins as she and her love boarded a helicopter, flying to Waiheke island.

Aside from shocking her fans with engagement news, the tennis pro had another surprise in store for her followers as she revealed a gold ring on Snapchat earlier in the week. Serena was also seen wearing the jewellery while getting in a post-flight training session later that day at an Auckland tennis club after she arrived in the country alongside her man and friend Caroline Wozniacki.

The gorgeous superstar athlete posted a short series of snaps featuring the ring as she pranced around a beach. Although, the ring was featured on her right hand for both the Snapchat shoot and the tennis training session - hours later, she was spotted by onlookers wearing the band on her wedding finger, indicating it may just be her engagement ring.
