Venus Williams Announces Engagement to Actor Andrea Preti After Stunning Comeback Win
Venus Williams: The Tennis Queen's Love Game
In a shocking turn of events, tennis superstar Venus Williams has confirmed that she is ENGAGED to her actor beau Andrea Preti! And just moments after winning her first singles match in 16 months, no less! The news sent shockwaves throughout the tennis world and had fans going wild.
The 45-year-old tennis legend made the revelation while speaking to the crowd at the Citi Open in Washington D.C. - where she defeated 22-year-old Peyton Stearns in straight sets. It was her first singles match since March 2024, when she took a hiatus due to health issues.
Preti, 37, has been a constant source of support and motivation for Williams throughout her comeback journey. And it seems like his encouragement paid off big time! When asked about her engagement, Williams gushed: "My fiancé is here and he really encouraged me to keep playing. There were so many times where I just wanted to coast and kind of chill. Do you know how hard it is to play tennis? You guys don't know how much work goes into this, like it's 9 to 5 except you're running the whole time. Lifting weights and just like dying and then you repeat it the next day. So he encouraged me to get through this and it's wonderful to be here. He's never seen me play."
The rumors of their engagement started circulating in February when Williams was spotted practicing in Italy with a huge ring on her wedding finger. And now, it seems those whispers were true!
Williams has always kept her romantic life under wraps, but it looks like she's ready to share the love with her fans. After all, who wouldn't want to know more about the tennis icon's whirlwind romance?
Speaking of which, Williams' health scare last year took a toll on her body and mind. She revealed that she suffered from heavy bleeding and intense cramps due to fibroids in her uterus - but doctors were dismissive of her symptoms. "As bad as things were for me, crazy amounts of bleeding like you couldn't imagine... my doctors told me it was normal," she said in an interview with TheScholarlyNote.com.
Now, Williams is focusing on her health and well-being. She's praying for a smooth ride during the twilight of her career and making the most of every moment.
"I'm at a different place this year compared to last year," she said after her match. "It's night and day, being able to be here and prepare for the tournament as opposed to preparing for surgery a year ago."
As Williams looks to the future, it seems like love is in the air - and on the court! With Preti by her side, who knows what other surprises this power couple has in store?
For now, let's just say that Venus Williams is on top of her game - both on and off the court!
