Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Venus Williams confirms engagement
Caption: Venus Williams confirms engagement. The tennis champion was first linked to actor-producer Andrea Preti in July 2024 when they were spotted on vacation together in the Amalfi Coast, Italy. In February, Venus also sparked engagement rumours when she was photographed wearing a diamond ring on her left hand. The athlete-entrepreneur revealed she was engaged to Denmark-born Andrea during an interview, following a singles tennis match as part of the Mubadala DC Citi Open in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday. ”My fiancé is here and he really encouraged me to keep playing," the 45-year-old commented. ”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?" she joked. ”You guys don't know how much work goes into this, like it's nine to five 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.” Venus didn't divulge any wedding plans. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
