How Did the Love Story Between Venus Williams and Andrea Preti Begin?
Though the couple has kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight, they were first seen together on July 27, 2024, sailing through the waters of Nerano, along the Amalfi Coast. Photos of the couple on a boat and enjoying romantic dinners around Italy fueled speculation, which is now confirmed with the engagement announcement.
Leaked images published by DeuxMoi showed the tennis star and the filmmaker sharing intimate moments: him standing behind her with his hands on her shoulders, and embracing her as they enjoyed the sea. Fans quickly flooded social media with congratulatory messages.
Who Is Andrea Preti, Venus Williams’ Fiancé?
Andrea Preti was born on July 28, 1988, in Copenhagen, Denmark, to an Italian father and Danish mother. He spent his childhood between both countries, eventually settling in Italy, where he solidified his professional career. His tall frame—nearly 1.90 meters—and striking appearance led him into the world of modeling from a young age.
It was his family who introduced him to the fashion industry. From there, he worked with prestigious brands and walked international runways, gaining recognition in the fashion scene.
Beyond modeling, Preti developed a strong passion for film and acting. He studied at the Susan Batson Academy in New York, a renowned school where he honed his skills as an actor. His transition into the arts was organic: starting in commercials, then landing minor roles in Italian TV series, and ultimately becoming a screenwriter and director.
One of his most representative works is the film One More Day, which he wrote, directed, and starred in. He has also appeared in productions such as My Beloved Enemy and the series A Professor. In 2016, his appearance on the reality show L’Isola dei Famosi (Italy’s version of “Survivor”) brought him additional public exposure.
Before his relationship with Venus Williams, Andrea Preti made headlines for dating Italian TV host Claudia Gerini. Their romance was widely followed by the media, especially due to their age difference. Though the couple eventually parted ways, Preti remained a familiar name in European tabloids due to his connection with Gerini.
What Is Andrea Preti’s Net Worth?
When it comes to his finances, various online sources estimate Andrea Preti’s net worth to be around one million dollars. This wealth stems from his work as a model, actor, director, and producer in the entertainment world. However, he is not currently listed on the platform Celebrity Net Worth.
In contrast, Venus Williams’ net worth is estimated at approximately 95 million dollars, a result of her prolific tennis career, endorsement deals, and entrepreneurial ventures.
