Venus Williams Confirmed Engaged To Young Handsome White Guy!

Venus Williams Engaged — and That Rock Is Giving “Yes” Energy

Love might be in the air and on the finger for tennis legend Venus Williams, who’s got fans buzzing after flashing a serious sparkler while stepping out with Italian actor and filmmaker Andrea Preti in Milan.

On March 3, the seven-time Grand Slam champion was photographed looking effortlessly fab at the Portrait Milano Hotel, and while the outfit was cute, it was the ring doing all the talking. A close-up of her left hand revealed what looks like a square-cut diamond, surrounded by a delicate pavé setting — and yes, it’s giving major fiancé vibes.

Venus, 44, and Preti, 36, have been keeping things lowkey-ish since they were first spotted cuddled up on an Italian vacation in July 2024. Since then, they’ve been seen together several times, but this is the first time the ring has made a full, public debut — and you know what that means: it’s time to speculate wildly (but lovingly).

HERE’S HER ENGAGEMENT RING – KIND OF SMALL

Just last month, the two were seen sharing a sweet moment outside a tennis training session in Rome, where Preti gave Venus a kiss on the cheek while she beamed like the glowing goddess she is. Then came their flirty Milan Fashion Week appearance, where they were captured on video holding hands, kissing, and looking like a whole rom-com couple at the Dsquared2 Fall/Winter 2025 show.

But here’s the fun twist — Venus has been alternating her rings, keeping the public guessing. At the Dsquared2 event, she wore a different ring entirely, and back in January at Dior’s Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2025 show in Paris, she rocked a gold band on the same finger. Queen of mystery, queen of the court.

So who is Andrea Preti?

He’s a 36-year-old Italian actor, model, and filmmaker who started out in high fashion before transitioning into acting. He’s appeared in Italian TV dramas like A Professor and films including One More Day, and has built a career that’s low-key but legit. Preti has also worked behind the camera as a producer and director, proving he’s more than just a pretty face. As of 2025, his estimated net worth is around $1.5 million, according to various European entertainment sources.

Not bad for a man who’s possibly about to be Mr. Venus Williams.

While neither Venus nor Andrea have officially confirmed an engagement, the tea is steaming, and fans are here for every minute of it. Especially considering Venus has famously kept her personal life private. Her last public relationship was with financier Nicholas “Nicky” Hammond, which quietly ended in 2019.

In a 2022 Glamour UK interview, Venus said: “I’ve had a single life for a long time… but you have to be able to move at the time – even if you don’t want to or aren’t ready.”

And move she did — right into a soft, slow-burn Italian romance.

Whether or not an engagement has been confirmed, one thing’s for sure: Venus is glowing, the chemistry is chemistry-ing, and we’ll be watching that left hand very closely.
