Venus Williams Sparks Engagement Buzz with Dazzling Diamond Ring alongside Andrea Preti
Oh, the glamorous world of Venus Williams! The tennis icon, known for her fierce serve and seven Grand Slam titles, is once again making headlines, this time for her sparkling new diamond ring that has the rumor mill buzzing about an engagement to actor Andrea Preti. The dynamic duo was recently spotted in Milan, where Williams, 44, showcased her eye-catching bling while Preti, 36, lent a helping hand with her bags. Is that a diamond, or is it just the sparkle of love lighting up the city of fashion?
The couple first ignited romance speculation during a sun-soaked Italian vacation in July 2024, but the real intrigue began when they were seen together at a tennis training session in Rome earlier this February. Observers noted the striking square-cut diamond set in pavé on her finger, which certainly turned heads. Close-up shots from the training facility reveal that her smile is as radiant as her ring, especially when Preti stole a sweet kiss on her cheek. Cue the collective “awws” from fans everywhere!
Williams, who has been single since her split with financier Nicholas Hammond in 2019, appears to have found a new love in Preti, whose acting credits include the Italian series *A Professor* and the film *One More Day*. Reflecting on her relationship status in an October 2022 interview with Glamour UK, Williams candidly shared, “It’s really easy to get stuck in a single life,” highlighting the delicate balance of navigating love and independence.
Recent sightings of the couple at Milan Fashion Week further fueled speculation about their relationship status. A charming moment was captured by WWD, showing the couple sharing a peck while posing for the cameras at the Dsquared2 Fall/Winter 2025 runway show. However, it’s worth noting that during this appearance, Williams sported a different ring, leaving fans scratching their heads about her true engagement status.
In a recent appearance at Dior’s Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2025 show in Paris, she opted for a simple gold band on her left ring finger, adding another layer to the mystery. Could these rings be mere accessories, or are they subtle hints of deeper commitments? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Venus Williams is not just serving aces on the tennis court; she’s also serving looks—and possibly, a promise of forever.
