Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Buzz Bissinger penned the cover story, which details the relationship between Williams and her fiancé, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
Ohanian and Williams also appear and a series of black and white photographs, adding to the extremely limited collection public images we've of the couple.
In the piece, we glean a lot of details from the notoriously private sports legend, including the fact that Williams discovered she was pregnant after taking six tests, right before the Australian Open.
