Venus’ dating history
In December 2021, Venus confirmed that she was not dating Opelka on Instagram. When asked about it, she replied, “No, Reilly Opelka shot me down.” Yes, that’s classic Venus.
From Nicholas Hammond to Elio Pis, Venus Williams has dated men from time to time but didn’t set her heart on anyone. In a YouTube Q&A session, Venus said she wanted a man who would do something “extraordinary” for her, go the hard way.
