Tennis champion Venus Williams has married Andrea Preti in Italy.
The 45-year-old was spotted wearing an all-white gown arriving at the dock in Ischia with her fiancé on the weekend.
Venus confirmed her engagement to the Italian director in July and has since been spotted attending what looked like her bachelorette party in Italy.
Here’s everything we know about their relationship.
WHO IS VENUS WILLIAMS’ HUSBAND ANDREA PRETI?
Andrea was born in Denmark in 1988 and he spent most of his childhood there until his family moved to Italy when he was a teenager.
A former model, Andrea is now an actor and producer. He appeared in the Italian television series A Professor and he wrote, directed, and starred in 2014’s One More Day. He has also appeared on the Italian reality show La Talpa.
INSIDE VENUS WILLIAMS AND ANDREA PRETI’S RELATIONSHIP
Venus and Andrea were first publicly linked in 2024 when they were spotted boating together along the Amalfi Coast.
In January 2025, the 45-year-old posted a selfie of the couple on her Instagram stories, calling Andrea “the best company”.
The grand slam champion then confirmed their relationship during a post-match interview with Rennae Stubbs in July 2025.
“My fiancé is here, and he really encouraged me to keep playing,” she said at the time. “He’s never seen me play.”
Later in the interview, Rennae asked Venus whether she thought Andrea had helped her with her comeback.
“You’re happy, a smile on your face. I mean, how much has he made a difference in your life?” she asked, and Venus replied: “There were so many times where I just wanted to coast and kind of chill. Do you know how hard it is to play tennis? He encouraged me to get through this, and it’s wonderful to be here.”
WHEN DID VENUS WILLIAMS AND ANDREA PRETI GET MARRIED?
The tennis champ and the Italian director tied the knot in September 2025 in Italy.
In the days leading up to the wedding, Venus was spotted riding in the back of a golf cart in the village of Sant’Angelo. She was wearing a large white sunhat that read ‘SIG.RA PRETI,’ which translates to ‘Mrs. Preti’ in English.
According to PEOPLE, members of the couple’s wedding party were also spotted around town wearing shirts with either ‘Team Groom’ or ‘Team Bride’ written on them.
Earlier this month, Venus’ sister Serena spoke to PEOPLE about how her sister was feeling in the lead up to the wedding.
“We talk every day now because we have so much going on. Well, let me rephrase that. Venus has so much planning that she’s doing that I’m just talking to her all the time,” she said.
“‘Can you help me arrange this? Can you call?'” she continued. “I’m the person that gets things done.”
Serena even said she helped Venus pick out her dresses and her hairstyle for the big day.
“She wanted literally 14 hairstyles — and she was like, ‘What do you think?’ So she sent me her options and within 30 minutes I had them not only done, but in a PDF file what hairstyle looked best on everyone,” she said.
“I’m the person that arranges things, I’m like the planner. I plan everything like the event,” she continued. “I’m the person that gets things done.”
