Romantic photos of the tennis star, Venus Williams, at the weekend, as she spent time in a boat with actor-producer, Andrea Preti, along the Amalfi Coast in Nerano, Italy have popped up online.
Williams was spotted in an olive green dress with her hair up while her partner wore a white button-down shirt and sunglasses as they cruised together.
The 44-year-old athlete previously dated model Elio Pis in 2012. Decades later, she spoke about not being “desperate” to settle down.
“I have a lot of friends who don’t believe me when I say that I like my life and I don’t want to change it for any reason. I’m not desperate and they don’t believe me.
“They say things like, ‘You’re going to miss your window.’ I’m like, ‘Please, relax. You might feel this way, but I don’t. I promise you I don’t,’ she was quoted as saying.
In 2023, the seven-time Gland Slam title holder opened up to a UK media outlet about how she was working on her dating life.
“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…It makes you think about yourself and what you want and how to behave,” she reportedly said.
At the time, Williams also indicated that she was “ready to go with the flow” when the right person came along.
“When life changes, you’ve got to know when to change…You can’t hold on to either a relationship or the singleness,” she stated.
Preti, 36, appeared in productions including the Italian television series A Professor and the film One More Day.
