Tennis legend Venus Williams has officially confirmed her engagement to actor-producer Andrea Preti. They are set to walk down the aisle in September 2025 on the Amalfi Coast. Williams confirmed the engagement news after a match at the Mubadala Citi DC Open, saying, “My fiancé is here and really encouraged me to keep playing.” As fans celebrate their engagement news and upcoming wedding, many are also curious to know more about Preti.
Andrea Preti Net Worth and More
Andrea Preti was born in Denmark in 1988 and spent most of his childhood there before relocating to Italy with his family as a teenager. Beginning his career as a model, Preti worked with some of the world’s top fashion houses, including Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, and Tommy Hilfiger. He later transitioned into acting and producing, studying at the Susan Batson Academy in New York City.

His career has since spanned television, film, and commercials. In 2014, he wrote, directed, and starred in One More Day. He later appeared in the Italian TV series A Professor and took on a lead role in the 2023 film Temptation. Preti has also showcased his versatility on reality television as a contestant on the Italian show La Talpa.
Thanks to his successful modeling and acting career, Venus Williams’ soon-to-be husband Preti’s net worth is estimated at around $1 million. In comparison, Venus Williams has amassed a staggering $95 million fortune, fueled by her legendary tennis career, endorsements, and business ventures.
Wedding Plans Underway for Venus and Pret
It all started back in February when Williams was spotted wearing a diamond ring during a trip to Rome. Speculation went through the roof after the tennis icon flaunted the ring at the Dsquared2 Fall/Winter 2025 fashion show during Milan Fashion Week.
Williams put an end to the rumor six months later in Washington, D.C., where she confirmed Preti is indeed her fiancé in a post-match interview.
“You are now an engaged woman. So, how has Andrea helped you in this comeback? You’re happy, a smile on your face. I mean, how much has he made a difference in your life?” Rennae Stubbs asked Williams.
“There were so many times where I just wanted to coast and kind of chill. Do you know how hard it is to play tennis? He encouraged me to get through this, and it’s wonderful to be here,” Williams smiled and replied.
Preparations for their wedding are already well underway. In fact, her sister Serena revealed during an August 2025 appearance on Today that Venus has already celebrated her bachelorette party. Still, Serena admitted the planning hasn’t slowed down.
