Venus Williams Fuels Engagement Rumors with Engagement Bling at Milan Fashion Week

Well, well, well! Tennis superstar Venus Williams just stepped into the spotlight, igniting fresh engagement gossip with rumored fiancé Andrea Preti during Milan Fashion Week. The dynamic duo made a splash at the Dsquared2 Fall/Winter 2025 show, where they exchanged sweet kisses and looked oh-so-chic. Venus, 44, donned a fabulous pink suit that turned heads (low-cut blazer, anyone?) while flashing what some fans believe is a shiny new ring on her left hand. You know, the one that has everyone speculating about a possible engagement.
Earlier this month, Williams was spotted getting cozy with Preti, 36, outside a tennis training session in Rome, where paparazzi noticed what seemed to be a stunning square-cut diamond glimmering on that same left finger. However, this new bling she sported in Milan appeared to be different—because who doesn’t love a good upgrade? A witness shared that Williams was previously seen sporting a simple gold band while attending Dior’s Haute Couture show in Paris in late January.
Now, before you jump on the wedding bells bandwagon, it’s worth noting that the couple has been under the radar for what seems like ages, with their vacation snaps as early as July 2024 capturing them enjoying the sunshine in Italy. So, while we are all for a romantic fairytale, who really knows what’s brewing behind those gorgeous outfits?
Historically, Williams has had her share of romantic ventures. She dated model Elio Pis back in 2012 and Nicholas Hammond until 2019. Interestingly, just last year, she opened up to Glamour UK about her dating life, explaining how easy it is to settle into singlehood. The athlete shared, “Sometimes it’s harder to get out of a single life,” while reflecting on her desire for change. Looks like she’s ready to embrace the next chapter, whether that includes wedding plans or not!
Stay tuned, because if Venus keeps flaunting that ring, we might just witness an exciting new twist in her love story soon!
