Serena Williams and her ex-boyfriend rapper Common have broken societal norms. They remain close friends and even appear at events together.

They had been a serious relationship a few years ago. The couple had dated for three years before they broke up in 2010.

There was some tension between them when in 2011, another rapper and Common had a feud over Serena. They used their songs to get back at one another and had a fist fight at the 2012 Grammy Awards.

But years later, Serena and Common are still good friends still support each other. Recently they walked the red carpet together.
