Venus Williams has made her life even happier with another joyful chapter, and fans want to know one thing: why the tennis legend decided to marry actor Andrea Preti twice. It might sound like a bizarre story at first, but the reason for the couple’s choice is much more sensible and loving.
The seven-time Grand Slam champion and the Italian actor were first married in Ischia, Italy, in a beautiful ceremony in September. The fiesta, a true celebration of their love, was held only for the closest friends and family. Nonetheless, only a couple of months after that, Venus and Andrea decided to celebrate their second wedding, which happened to be in Florida. It looks like they turned the event into a fabulous week-long party, a long party, and it didn’t take long for it to become famous both online and among the celebrity world.
Venus Williams Married Andrea Preti Twice
Venus shared some parts of the celebrations on her social media, where she posted several pictures that showed her different looks from the celebrations. In one of the posts, a wedding photo of the couple was featured, together with a very simple note that said how deeply the moment touched her. Vogue Weddings, a fashion publication, also collaborated with the couple, showcasing the celebrations and referring to the Florida ceremony as the last stage of their wedding journey.

So, why have a second wedding? The explanation for this was that it was a symbolic gesture. The couple told Vogue that they had always dreamed of getting married in Italy, but that the legal formalities were quite time-consuming. Since Venus is not an Italian citizen, the completion of the necessary paperwork would have taken a few months. Instead of postponing their plans, they decided to have their Italian celebration first and then have a second ceremony in the United States when everything was legal.
Who Is Andrea Preti?
Andrea Preti was born in Denmark in 1988 and later moved to Italy, where he started his career as a model and then became an actor. He studied in New York and has been working on television and movies, including Italian series and indie projects. Joanne and Venus were first linked romantically in the middle of 2024 when they were seen together on a holiday in Italy, but they mostly kept their relationship out of the spotlight.
