PALM BEACH, Fla. \u2014 Tennis star Venus Williams, 45, announced Tuesday on social media<\/a> that she has married actor and model Andrea Preti.<\/p>\n

The wedding was part of a five-day celebration in Palm Beach, Florida. <\/p>\n

Williams and Preti became a couple in 2024<\/a> and got engaged in early 2025. The couple first held a ceremony in Italy in September but were unable to complete the legal paperwork there, so they planned a second wedding in the United States.<\/p>\n

The Florida celebration included several events with family and friends before the official ceremony. Venus thanked Preti for his support during her recent tennis matches<\/a>, including when she became one of the oldest women to win a WTA singles match in July. <\/p>\n

Preti is a Danish-born Italian model and actor and he has worked in television and film. Williams has been a top tennis player for many years and plans to continue playing, with a new season starting in January.<\/p>\n

Friends and family gathered for the celebrations, which included dinners, parties and special moments before the pair exchanged vows. Williams shared photos on social media and described the weekend as a joyful time with loved ones. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PALM BEACH, Fla. \u2014 Tennis star Venus Williams, 45, announced Tuesday on social media that she has married…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":364732,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-364731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=364731"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364731\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/364732"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=364731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=364731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
