Tennis legend Venus Williams has found love for the third time, this time with an actor named Andrea Preti. The American tennis legend is the sister of tennis great Serena Williams and a multiple-time Grand Slam winner. Over the years she had many relationships; some of them are Model Elios Pis in 2012 and Nicholas Hammond in 2017. But despite all of that, she never really married any of them and said she has no pressure to settle down and start a family like her sister.

She said, “I have a lot of friends who don't believe me when I say that I like my life and I don't want to change it for any reason. I’m not desperate and they don't believe me. They say things like, ‘You're going to miss your window.’ I’m like, ‘Please, relax. you might feel this way, but I don't. I promise you don't.” Serena Williams and Venus Williams trained together since childhood, Serena announced retirement from tennis but Venus is still playing.

But after all that, she has found a new love with a Denmark-based actor. Preti was born in 1988 and moved to Italy. As a model, he built his career as an actor and producer. He was also one of the contestants in the Italian reality show La Talpa. The two were first spotted together in July 2024 in a private boat in Nerano, Italy. Again in January 2025, Williams posted a picture of her and Preti in the Bahamas. In February 2025, the two were spotted again in a tennis training session in Rome. But this time with a diamond ring on Venus Williams’s left hand.

Another video showed the two hugging and kissing outside the tennis court. This is the seven-time Grand Slam winner's third romantic relationship, as the previous two didn't work out for her. She is 45 years old and hasn't announced her retirement from tennis. About her retirement, Venus said, “I’m not done with the racket yet.”
