Her makeup was kept minimal with a natural glow , bold brow and nude lip .

Common was dressed in a bright red T -Shirt with a pair of camel coloured trousers .

Serena and the actor/ rapper – who’ s real name is Lonnie Corant Jaman Shuka Rashid Lynn – dated on -and – off between 2007 – 2010 .

The pair have remained good friends since the split , with Common frequently talking to social media to congratulate the athlete on her wins .

Back in 2015 , the Smallfoot star opened up about their breakup on The Meredith Viera Show and confessed they had made a conscious effort to remain friends .

‘ I have to say not every one of my ex -girlfriends is still friends but with some I am , ’ he explained.

“(With Serena ) , it was kind of a mutual break -up but she initiated it . It’ s okay though, we ’ ve got a great understanding and I care about her as a person … so we can keep that friendship . ”

Common added , ‘ It’ s not like every person you talk to every other day but you still have that respect and you still have that love and you want to see them do well . ’

Serena is currently married to Reddit co -founder Alexis Ohanian , 35 , and the mum to one – year – old daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr .

Meanwhile , Serena is giving her fans a look at what she sees in the mirror .

The superstar athlete posted a sexy selfie to Instagram on Tuesday . In the image , Williams — who is wearing the starlet ruched halter dress in light pink from her clothing line , Serena — struck a sultry pose while staring into an ornate mirror.
Williams didn ’ t caption the photo but was sure to tag her Audemars Piguet watch .

The selfie comes one month after Williams shared a topless video to the social media platform — all for a good cause , of course .

In the music video, Williams sings a cover she recorded of the Divinyls 1990 hit “ I Touch Myself , ” in promotion of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October .
