How did Venus Williams and Andrea Preti meet?

The romance first came to public light in July 2024 when the couple was spotted on a boat in Nerano, Italy, along the Amalfi Coast.

Despite the buzzworthy headlines, the pair managed to keep their relationship away from the media spotlight, letting their love story blossom in private.

They were rumored to be engaged in February this year, with snaps, accessed by People, featuring Venus, a year older than Serena Williams, wearing a sparkling diamond ring on her left hand during a tennis practice session.

Venus revealed how she met Preti for the first time, during a Milan Fashion Week in 2024.

After they spent some time texting and meeting up in London, Williams then decided to invite Preti to meet her family.

She said, “We wanted to be discreet at the time, but he really took care of me. After our dates in London, I just knew I was going to marry him. People always say they just know, and I just knew.”
