The vibrant celebration of Venus Williams' marriage to Andrea Preti brings a new, glamorous chapter to the tennis icon's storied career.Palm Beach TodayIn a move that has the sports and entertainment worlds buzzing, tennis legend Venus Williams has tied the knot with Danish actor and model Andrea Preti. Their love story began in an unexpected way at Milan Fashion Week in 2024, and the couple celebrated their union with a lavish five-day wedding in Palm Beach, Florida.
Why it matters
At 45 years old, Williams continues to defy age norms, not just in her personal life but on the tennis court as well. Her marriage to Preti adds a new, glamorous chapter to her storied career, sparking debates about balancing personal milestones with the demands of a professional athlete's lifestyle.

The pair celebrated their union over a lavish five-day wedding in Palm Beach, Florida, with Williams gushing to Vogue Weddings, 'It was just the happiest, most beautiful, sweetest day.'
- In July 2026, Williams became the second-oldest woman to win a singles match on the WTA tour.
- Williams is already gearing up for her 33rd consecutive season with a January 2027 tournament in Auckland.
