MusaWhat a delightful moment! Tennis legend Venus Williams just unveiled some joyful personal news that has fans all over the world grinning—from the living room to the stands. During a post-match interview following her singles win at the Mubadala Citi DC Open on July 22, 2025, 45-year-old Venus reflected not only on her triumphant return to the court but also on a beautiful new milestone in her love life: she is now engaged to actor-producer Andrea Preti
Interviewer and former professional Rennae Stubbs set the tone with a gentle prompt: “You are now an engaged woman… How has Andrea helped you in this comeback?” Venus, all smiles, turned to the crowd and said simply, “My fiancé is here, and he really encouraged me to keep playing”. Clearly, his support has been a driving force behind her decision to lace up those tennis shoes again.
Their love story, while largely private, has been blossoming in the background since mid-2024. They were first seen together during a romantic boat trip off the Amalfi Coast in July 2024. Engagement rumors sparked earlier this year when Venus was spotted wearing a stunning diamond sparkler—first during tennis training in Rome, then at Milan Fashion Week in February 2025.
Speaking of pre-match confidence and on-court grit: it wasn’t just love fueling her performance. Venus became, once again, one of the oldest women to win a tour-level singles match, echoing the timeless excellence of Martina Navratilova. And to top it all off, Serena Williams now has a new brother-in-law! According to sources close to the family, Serena and her husband Alexis Ohanian are reportedly over the moon about the news—and he’s already received Serena’s approval. What a joyful blessing for the Williams family!
This announcement isn’t just about a tennis icon’s personal milestone—it’s a radiant reminder that even in the spotlight, love can blossom quietly, beautifully, and at just the right moment. Here’s to Venus and Andrea—congratulations to the happy couple!
