Tennis legend Venus Williams and actor, producer, and model Andrea Preti first met in 2024 during Milan Fashion Week—at an event neither was originally supposed to attend. “We met at the Gucci show,†Venus remembers. “I was in Lake Como on a sisters’ trip when I got an invite at the last minute and decided to go on a whim, and Andrea was tired. Neither of us was planning on being there.â€
After the show, the brand’s former creative director Sabato De Sarno arranged an aperitivo with a group of VIPs upstairs at the venue. “I saw V and wanted to introduce myself,†says Andrea. “She was on the sofa with her friends and family. I told her, ‘You’re so beautiful,’ and then she started speaking with me in Italian. We had a little talk, and I asked if she wanted a drink. I went to the bar to get something, and her sister Lyn came to me and said, ‘Do you mind if we start a WhatsApp conversation? I think my sister likes you.’â€

Venus Williams married her partner, Andrea Preti, for a second time over the weekend, months after they first tied the knot in Italy.
This time, the seven-time Grand Slam singles champion and her model partner celebrated across five days in Palm Beach, Florida, with their loved ones in attendance.
Venus, 45, and Andrea, 37, had always wanted to wed in Italy but were not legally able to sign the paperwork there, so instead, they thought a second event was necessary.
The couple's Italian ceremony took place on September 18, before the legal proceedings – and week-long celebrations – continued in December.
Five days before their December 21 wedding, the pair were treated to a yacht party by the bride's sister, fellow tennis legend Serena Williams.
