4 billboards for Serena Williams cropped up outside of Palm Springs and they might make you emotional

The G.M.O.A.T got a billboard-sized surprise

Four billboards outside of Palm Springs, California, cropped up this week about Serena Williams.

No, this isn't the plot of an Oscar nominated movie—this is just what happens when you're the greatest tennis player of all time and married to a dude who understands that billboards are an underutilized medium of expressing devotion.

Similar to Williams' maybe-ex Drake, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian Sr. bought some billboards along the I-10 freeway to share a special message to his wife for all the world to see.

"Olympia and I wanted to welcome her back to tennis," Ohanian wrote on Instagram. "Designed them myself, with some help from Jr." Baby's first graphic design job looks pretty adorable if you ask us. Together, the billboards read "Greatest Momma of All Time."

Or, if you'd rather see it for yourself:

...the "G.M.O.A.T." Better trademark that term now, Alexis!

The billboards might have been intended to be for Serena, but they have also done another good deed in the world: restored people's faith in *~love~*.
