Venus Williams, the American tennis superstar, has tied the knot with Andrea Preti, the Italian actor.
The couple took to their respective social media pages to share photos from the ceremony that was held in Florida over the weekend.
“Mr and Mrs Preti, a dream come true,” Venus wrote.
On his part, Andrea added: “Mr and Mrs Preti, it’s a kind of magic my beautiful wife @venuswilliams”.
Venus looked stunning in a fitted white wedding gown with delicate lace detailing throughout and featured intricate patterns. The silhouette also flowed gracefully to the floor.
Andrea appeared dashing in a sharp white tuxedo with contrasting black lapels. Underneath, he wore a black shirt paired with a black bow tie.
Serena Williams, fellow tennis superstar and Venus’ sister, also took to social media to celebrate the couple.
My sister’s keeper. Venus, where do I even begin? From backyard courts to the world stage, you’ve always led with grace, strength, and heart. Seeing you step into this next chapter so loved and radiant means everything to me. Forever proud to stand beside you. 🫶🏾 pic.twitter.com/XJOBGvTDIb

The tennis legend and the actor were first linked in July 2024. Venus confirmed their engagement in July 2025 during a post-match interview.
They had their first wedding in September in Italy, but decided to have a second ceremony in Florida, the United States.
Venus is one of the most influential athletes in the history of tennis. She is a seven-time Grand Slam singles champion and a four-time Olympic gold medallist, known for her powerful game and longevity at the highest level.
Beyond tennis, Venus is an entrepreneur and fashion designer, and a strong advocate for gender equality and equal pay in sports.
