However, just because Williams announced her engagement ([via a Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/isaidyes/comments/5kycyr/i%5Fsaid%5Fyes/), no less,) it doesn’t look like she’ll be spamming your feed with lots of mushy couple photos anytime soon. In fact, since the news broke, the only engagement-related tidbit Williams has shared on Instagram is a playful post to tease fans who might have been hoping for a sneak peek of her engagement bling. On Monday, Williams took to the ‘Gram to show off a new ring that featured a tiny taco instead of a jewel, with a caption that read: “Sneak peek. It was a corn tortilla of course in case you were wondering.” Now that’s some bling that will always be in good taste. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4620569/serena-williams-taco-engagement-ring/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4620569/serena-williams-taco-engagement-ring/"},"headline":"Serena Williams Gives Fans a Sneak Peek at Her New Taco Engagement Ring","datePublished":"2017-01-03T16:00:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:39:50.109Z","description":"The tennis champ recently got engaged to tech mogul Alexis Ohanian","url":"https://time.com/4620569/serena-williams-taco-engagement-ring/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","celebrity","serena williams"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4620569/serena-williams-taco-engagement-ring/","name":"Serena Williams Gives Fans a Sneak Peek at Her New Taco Engagement Ring"}}]}] ```
