Remember when Venus Williams mentioned the potential of getting “stuck in single life” back in 2022? Fast forward to today, and she’s definitely not stuck. Even with a year away from tennis, she’s still making waves, hitting up fashion weeks in Paris and Milan. And, of course, there’s the whole Andrea Preti romance that’s been buzzing since last July. Well, their recent kissing moment strongly suggest they’ve put a ring on it. Have they?

On February 25, Venus Williams attended the Dsquared2 Fall/Winter 2025 fashion show during Milan Fashion Week, alongside Italian actor and producer Andrea Preti. At the event, Venus stunned in a pink suit with a low-cut blazer while Preti looked sharp in a classic black suit. A video from WWD on X showed them posing together, with Preti’s arm wrapped around her waist. But the real kicker? They shared a kiss before walking away hand-in-hand.

This wasn’t their first public display of affection; the couple recently returned from a trip to the Bahamas, where Williams described Preti as the “best company.” The couple first sparked romance rumors in July 2024 when they were spotted on a yacht in Nerano, Italy. But who is the man capturing Williams’ heart? Well, he’s quite the charmer!

Born in Denmark, he moved to Italy in his teens and started modeling at a young age. However, his true passion was acting, which led him to New York’s Susan Batson Academy. Preti has appeared in films like ‘Temptation’ (2023) and ‘Girls to Buy’ (2021), and the TV series ‘A Professor’ (2021). He’s also a talented writer, producer, and director, having worked on projects like ‘One More Day’ (2015) and ‘Wolf Man’ (2014). With his diverse talents and charming presence, it’s no wonder he’s stolen the heart of our seven-time Grand Slam champion!

And just when you think you have the answer to “Are they dating?” another twist emerges! Remember last month at Dior’s Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2025 show in Paris? Venus turned heads in an all-black cargo jumpsuit, but it was the gold band on her left ring finger that truly stole the spotlight, fueling engagement speculation with Preti. Now, the buzz is back!

Photographers captured Venus sporting what appeared to be a stunning square-cut diamond ring set in pavé during her training session in Rome. This sparkler looked different from the one she wore in Milan, adding to the intrigue surrounding their relationship.

On the other hand, Venus has remained tight-lipped about her romance. However, the growing evidence suggests that fans are finally getting answers about her relationship status with Preti.

Williams and Preti have kept fans on their toes for a while now!

A rumor that began when they were spotted enjoying the breathtaking views of the Amalfi Coast in Nerano, Italy, only seemed to pick up from there. Later, they were seen strolling hand-in-hand in New York, solidifying their status as a couple. That’s not all!

In November last year, when Venus Williams celebrated her 30-year pro tennis debut anniversary by sharing nostalgic photos. Preti was among the first to react, affectionately calling her “Hunny Bonny ❤️.” Williams thanked him in Italian, writing “@andreapreti88 grazie! ✨👵🏾😅.” Preti responded with a warm “prego🖖🏻🖖🏽,” which means “you’re welcome!”

Now, on February 5, Williams showed her appreciation for Preti’s heartfelt message about being a “priority” for those who truly care. The Denmark-born actor shared a post with a quote that read: “You will always be a priority for the people who care about you.” Williams reshared the story and added a heart emoji, leaving fans swooning over their adorable exchange.

While they’ve been “soft launching” their relationship for a while now, it’s clear that Venus is finally saying more with her actions. Will we hear from them soon? Only time will tell!
