Venus Williams, one of tennis’s most iconic figures, made headlines in 2025 not just for her return to the court but also for her heartfelt double wedding celebration with Italian-Danish actor Andrea Preti. The couple first tied the knot in a picturesque ceremony in Ischia, Italy, in September, followed by a second, more intimate and legal celebration in Palm Beach, Florida, in December.
While Venus continues to break barriers on the court, Andrea has quietly become her anchor behind the scenes both as a partner and a motivator.
Who Is Andrea Preti?
Born in Denmark in 1988, Andrea Preti spent his early years in Copenhagen before relocating to Italy, where he was introduced to modeling. That world eventually opened doors for him in acting and filmmaking. He studied at the Susan Batson Academy in New York and gained attention for writing, directing, and starring in his 2014 film One More Day. His acting credits include Temptation, Girls to Buy, and the Italian drama A Professor.
Beyond the camera, Andrea’s love for storytelling and connection to his roots remain a constant. He frequently honors his family and cultural heritage, even while balancing a Hollywood career.
The Romance That Sparked a Comeback
Venus and Andrea were first spotted together vacationing on Italy’s Amalfi Coast in July 2024. Though initially private, their bond became public in early 2025 with sweet snapshots from the Bahamas. Venus called him her “best company,” hinting at the depth of their relationship.
But it was during a post-match interview in July 2025 that Venus credited Andrea for inspiring her to return to tennis. “He really encouraged me to keep playing,” she said. His support became the quiet force behind her comeback, providing the kind of emotional lift that often goes unnoticed.
Two Weddings, One Love Story
Their Italian ceremony was filled with charm and romance, but paperwork delays meant the marriage wasn’t yet official. That led to a second wedding on December 19 in Palm Beach — a legal and deeply emotional affair surrounded by close friends and family. The week-long celebration featured yacht outings, a bridal shower, and unforgettable memories. Andrea later described it as the “second-best day” of his life.
Love, Support and New Beginnings
Now husband and wife, Venus Williams and Andrea Preti are stepping into a new chapter marked by love, mutual respect, and shared dreams. For Venus, it’s clear that Andrea isn’t just her husband — he’s her teammate in every sense of the word.
