Rumors are swirling that tennis legend Venus Williams recently got married, and fans are scrambling for answers, so let’s find out the truth

Sources close to the tennis icon reveal that the 44-year-old star will tie the knot this September with her fiancé, Italian actor and model Andrea Preti, in a romantic, private ceremony along the breathtaking Amalfi Coast of Italy.

Venus Williams has confirmed she's engaged to Andrea Preti. The tennis champion and actor-producer were first linked in July 2024 when they were spotted on vacation together in the Amalfi Coast, Italy.

Williams, who previously dated model Elio Pis and Nicky Hammond, has stayed mum about her relationship with Preti. Since debuting their romance on a yacht along the Amalfi Coast last July, the notoriously private couple has stepped out once together in February at Milan Fashion Week to watch the Dsquared2 Fall/Winter 2025 - 2026 runway.

Venus Williams confirmed her engagement to Andrea Preti, crediting him for inspiring her to compete despite her desire to quit tennis.

Venus Williams has not touched the tennis court since the Miami Open in March 2024. Her last professional win came in the Cincinnati Open in August 2023.
