Venus Williams is officially off the market! The tennis legend and actor Andrea Preti were married in 2 wedding ceremonies – in Italy and Florida.
They went Instagram official in July 2024, and Venu, 45, confirmed their engagement in July 2025 during a post-match interview, PEOPLE reports.
The first wedding took place on Sept. 18 in Ischia, Italy, a city that Denmark-born Andrea, 37, loves.
“We had this dream to do our wedding in Italy, but we didn’t have enough time to do the paperwork — because I’m a foreigner, it can take about eight months,” Venus told Vogue magazine. “So we decided to have a second wedding.”
The second ceremony was held in Palm Beach, Florida, where Venus calls home. The event featured a week full of festivities leading up to the big wedding. The festivities was planned by the same event firm that worked on her sister Serena Williams’ wedding in 2017, PEOPLE reports.

“They always say weddings go so fast, and they do,” Venus told Vogue. “We started on Monday. Serena gave us this gift of a beautiful yacht, and she arranged all the food, everything. We had 10 to 12 of our closest family and friends who were in town on the boat, and we were singing, dancing, gossiping, and just enjoying each other.”
In 2022, Venus, then 41, announced she was still a virgin – due to the pain she suffered from undiagnosed fibroids.
“It is funny because Venus decided as a child that she would wait until she finds her husband before having sex,” said a source. “Serena did not go that route.”
Venus kissed many frogs before she married her prince. She previously dated golfer Hank Kuehne, Cuban model Elio Pis, and publishing heir Nicholas Hammond.
