Who is Andrea Preti, Venus Williams' husband? All about the Italian actor-director

Venus Williams and Andrea Preti are officially married! The couple became husband and wife over the weekend in Palm Beach, Florida, as part of a five-day celebration.

The wedding

Venus Williams and Andrea Preti reportedly got married on 18 September 2025, in Ischia, Italy. “We had this dream to do our wedding in Italy, but we didn’t have enough time to do the paperwork — because I’m a foreigner, it can take about eight months,” Venus told Vogue in December 2025.

According to Vogue, the couple held a second wedding in December in Palm Beach, Florida, because of Venus' “Florida roots”. The celebration included 5-day festivities leading up to the big day.

They ultimately got married in a courthouse wedding on 19 December 2025.
