Venus Williams has finally confirmed her engagement to actor Andrea Preti amid months of speculation — and just moments after her historic return to the tennis court. In a post-match interview Tuesday, the tennis ace, 45, revealed that her 37-year-old beau had popped the all-important question to her.

Venus Williams' boyfriend Andrea Preti praised Reilly Opelka's impressive skills as the American tennis player advanced to the round of 32 at the 2025 Mubadala Citi D.

Oh, to be Venus Williams this week. To be 45 years old and beating women ... Williams said her fiance, Italian film star Andrea Preti, encouraged her to try to come back. It was hard but worth it. She next faces Magdalena Frech of Poland.

Venus Williams' comeback tournament at the Citi Open came to an end on Thursday, as she was beaten in the second round by Magdalena Frech.
