From a businessman to a Cuban model and many more, here's a detailed look into the interesting and juicy dating history of Tennis superstar, Venus Williams, who is now married to Andrea Preti.
Venus Williams is officially married to the love of her life, Andrea Preti. Since the announcement of their wedding, they have been the talk of the town, from X to Reddit and Instagram, and people are in awe of their surreal wedding pictures. Williams and Preti got married in a series of celebrations culminating in a dreamy five-day wedding in Palm Beach, Florida. The lovebirds exchanged vows both in Italian and English in a beautiful courthouse ceremony on December 19, 2025, followed by the beachside family festivities.
The wedding festivities also included a luxurious yacht party gifted by Venus Williams’ sister and legendary Tennis player, Serena Williams. From bridal showers to pool parties, dinners, and themed events, all of it took place on the yacht. Several pictures and videos from the joyful celebrations have made their way onto social media, and people are in love with Williams and Andrea Preti’s chemistry. It was the stunning couple’s second wedding; the first was a private ceremony held in Ischia, Italy, in September 2025.
Talking about the wedding outfits, Venus Williams wore multiple custom bridal gowns designed by critically acclaimed fashion designers, including Georges Hobeika and Morilee New York. Andrea Preti also looked effortlessly stylish in his elegant tuxedos. Talking about Preti’s background, he is a renowned Italian actor and producer who previously worked as a professional model. He is best known for his work in television shows and films, including A Professor, Temptation, Un giorno in più, One More Day, and many others.
Currently, Venus Williams is on cloud nine as she is finally married to her soulmate, Andrea Preti. However, in the process of meeting him, Williams suffered multiple heartbreaks. From dating a famous golfer to dating a millionaire, the tennis star had three public relationships, each of which made a stir in the media at the time. Her first official relationship was with professional golf player, Hank Kuehne. The ex-couple met through their shared sports circles at the time in their respective career when they were competing at the highest level.
Around 2007, Venus Williams and Hank Kuehne’s relationship became public, after which they were spotted together at various social and sporting events. It was a demanding phase for Williams on the professional front as she was dealing with multiple injuries and intense competition on the WTA tour. According to multiple reports, their professional commitments prevented them from nurturing their relationship, and by 2010, they had parted ways.
It was around 2012, when multiple media reports confirmed that Venus Williams was in a relationship with fashion entrepreneur and Cuban model, Elio Pis. The couple reportedly met at an event related to her clothing brand, EleVen, and quickly became close friends before starting to date. Unlike her previous relationship with Hank Kuehne, this one was more private and lasted nearly 5 years. The two worked together on her fashion ventures and even went on multiple vacations. However, by 2017, Pis and Williams drifted apart, and over time, it emerged that they had a low-key, respectful breakup.
After the end of her relationship with Elio Pis in 2017, Venus Williams fell in love with renowned publishing heir, Nicholas Hammond, who is widely considered a millionaire. It was Williams’ most publicised and much-talked-about relationship due to Hammond’s wealthy background. There were also rumours that they were engaged after Hammond gifted Williams a symbolic “friendship ring”. Unfortunately, after just two years in a relationship, Williams reportedly decided to end it by 2019 to prioritise her freedom and growth.
At the 2024 Milan Fashion Week, Venus Williams crossed paths with Italian actor, Andrea Preti, and after becoming friends, they instantly fell in love. The couple developed their relationship privately in the initial stage, which turned fruitful for them as there was no unnecessary public attention around them. The couple’s relationship grew stronger when Preti took care of Williams during a period when she was struggling with health challenges. The couple confirmed their engagement in July 2025, and in September 2025, they married in Italy.
