Venus Williams and Andrea Preti: Dream wedding in Florida after a romantic start

Venus Williams and Andrea Preti: Dream Celebration in Florida

The legend of world tennis, Venus Williams, has married Italian actor and former model Andrea Preti in a ceremony held in Florida, marking the close of an unforgettable week of celebrations. The winner of seven Grand Slam singles titles and Preti formalized their union after several days of celebration with family and close friends. The couple legalized their marriage last Friday at a courthouse in Florida and the next day celebrated a lavish party at Williams’ residence in Palm Beach, according to statements by the tennis player to Vogue magazine. The celebration included five days of activities that left unforgettable memories.

Private dinners
Recreational encounters

Among the highlights was a yacht trip organized by Serena Williams, younger sister of Venus and also a tennis legend, as well as sports activities such as volleyball, pickleball, and obstacle courses. Venus Williams, 45 years old, dazzled with ten custom-designed dresses for the occasion, including a creation by Lebanese designer Georges Hobeika. The love story between Venus and Andrea began in September 2024, during Milan Fashion Week, where they met and immediately connected. During that period, the tennis player was diagnosed with adenomyosis, a condition that required surgical intervention, a process in which Preti, 37 years old, was a great support.

I had surgery a month after Andrea and I met. It was crazy, but that’s how we met.

The couple had previously celebrated a symbolic wedding on September 18th on the Italian island of Ischia. However, due to legal procedures, they decided to hold a second ceremony in Florida to definitively formalize their marriage.
