Engaged? Venus Williams Spotted Flaunting a Gorgeous Diamond Ring

Venus Williams is continuing to fuel engagement rumors with Andrea Preti.

On Monday, March 3, the seven-time Grand Slam champion, 44, was photographed at a hotel in Milan, Italy, with the actor, 36.

As Preti helped her with her bags, the diamond on her ring finger was on full display.

Williams and the actor were first spotted together getting cozy on an Italian vacation in July 2024, but the sparkler made its public debut when the pair were seen outside of a tennis training session in Rome in early February.

Close-up photos of the jewel showed what appeared to be a square-cut diamond in the middle of a pavé-set.

While outside at the training facility at the time, Williams was all smiles as Preti gave her a sweet kiss on her cheek.

The sports star, who was last linked to financier Nicholas (Nicky) Hammond before the former couple parted ways in 2019, opened up to Glamour UK in their October 2022 issue about her relationship status.

“I’ve had a single life for a long time and I think it’s really easy to get stuck in a single life and sometimes – at least for me – harder to get out,” she told the outlet. “It makes you think about yourself and what you want and how to behave.”

Williams added, “This is how I work and function, and I’m okay with it.”

“When life changes, you’ve got to know when to change. You can’t hold on to either a relationship or the singleness. You have to be able to move at the time – and even if you don’t want to or aren’t ready, you’ve just got to go with it,” she continued.

More recently, Williams and Preti, whose acting credits include the Italian television series A Professor and the film One More Day, were seen spending time together at the Dsquared2 Fall/Winter 2025 fashion show during Milan Fashion Week in late February.

WWD posted a video to Instagram of the two showing off some PDA at the event.

“@venuswilliams and @andreapreti88 share a peck while taking pictures at the @dsquared2 photo call for tonight’s fall 2025 runway show in Milan,” the outlet captioned the clip.

Williams and Preti have been keeping the public guessing on whether or not they are engaged.

For the Milan Fashion Week appearance, the athlete seemed to wear a different ring to the outing.

Williams was also photographed at Dior’s Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2025 show in Paris on Jan. 27 where she wore a gold band on her left ring finger.
