Tennis icon Venus Williams has officially tied the knot with her partner, actor-producer Andrea Preti. The couple celebrated their union with not one, but two wedding ceremonies, culminating in a grand five-day celebration in Palm Beach, Florida, over a weekend.
A Dream Italian Wedding and Florida Roots
The couple's journey to the altar was a transatlantic affair. They first exchanged vows on September 18, 2025, in Ischia, Italy, fulfilling a shared dream. However, in an interview with Vogue in December 2025, Venus revealed the Italian ceremony was symbolic due to complex paperwork for foreigners, which can take up to eight months.
Because of this, and to honour Venus's "Florida roots," the pair held a second, legal wedding celebration in December 2025 in Palm Beach, Florida. The festivities leading up to the main event spanned an extravagant five days. The official courthouse ceremony that made them husband and wife took place on December 19, 2025.
Andrea Preti described the courthouse moment to Vogue as "very unique, emotional, and deep," calling it the second-best day of his life, right after the wedding celebration itself. Venus joyfully shared pictures from their Florida wedding on social media, captioning them, "Mr. & Mrs. Preti ? A dream come true ✨?"

From Private Romance to Public Engagement
The love story between Venus Williams and Andrea Preti, while largely kept private, began capturing public attention in July 2024 when they were spotted boating together in Nerano, Italy.
Engagement rumours swirled in February 2025 after Venus was photographed in Rome wearing a diamond ring. The tennis legend confirmed the news herself during a post-match interview in July 2025. At 45, and as the second-oldest woman to win a tour-level singles match, she shared, "My fiancé is here, and he really encouraged me to keep playing. He’s never seen me play." The exact details of how they first met remain a private part of their story.
