Venus Williams has once again captured the spotlight but this time, it wasn’t on a tennis court. The seven-time Grand Slam champion and fashion icon celebrated her second wedding ceremony with husband Andrea Preti this past weekend in Florida, wrapping up the year with elegance, joy, and family at the heart of it all. After a private wedding in Ischia, Italy, back in September, the couple brought their love story stateside for a week-long celebration surrounded by loved ones.
From Ischia to Palm Beach
Their first ceremony, held in the romantic setting of the Italian island of Ischia, was intimate and low-key. But paperwork delays and a desire to include more family and friends led Venus and Andrea to host a second, more elaborate ceremony in Palm Beach. The Florida celebration quickly became a highlight in sports and celebrity news, showcasing the couple’s style and the warmth of their bond.
According to Vogue Weddings, Venus called the day “happy and beautiful,” and it was clear from the photos that the celebration was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable fashion moments.
Star Power and Sisterhood
Social media buzzed with highlights from the festivities. Venus shared a series of dreamy photos, captioning one of them simply: “Mr & Mrs Preti.” Her looks blended timeless elegance with modern chic, turning heads with every post.
But it was sister Serena Williams’ heartfelt message that stood out the most. She reminisced about their journey from practicing on childhood courts to winning Grand Slam doubles titles. Her tribute captured the essence of their bond and brought emotional depth to the celebration. Fans and fellow athletes alike flooded the comments with love and admiration.
A Cultural Moment Beyond Sports
The Venus Williams wedding wasn’t just about vows and dresses. It was a celebration of personal evolution. Venus has long been a symbol of power and grace in tennis, but this chapter showcased her personal happiness and the beginning of a new life with Preti, an Italian-Danish actor and model known for his work in European cinema.
Their relationship, first seen publicly during a 2024 Amalfi Coast vacation, has since grown into one of mutual encouragement and quiet strength. Andrea reportedly played a major role in supporting Venus during her tennis comeback earlier in 2025.
