The news as it trends

Tennis legend Venus Williams and Italian actor Andrea Preti were spotted in Ischia, Italy, ahead of their highly anticipated wedding.

The couple officially tied the knot on Friday, September 19, 2025, in a romantic ceremony at the Punta Imperatore Lighthouse, perched above the stunning Tyrrhenian Sea.

Venus, 45, and Andrea, 37, have kept their relationship mostly private, but their wedding drew attention from global media and A-list guests.

Serena Williams played a key role in planning the event, assisting with everything from hairstyles to logistics.

The celebration continued at Lisola, a luxury waterfront restaurant, where guests enjoyed a lavish Mediterranean feast.

The glamorous affair marks a new chapter for Venus—off the court and into love.

Some family members and guests described the venue as extremely secure, with phones locked away to prevent any leaks.

Photos from the ceremony are expected to be released exclusively by the couple themselves.

This blog will be updated as more official images are shared by the newlyweds.
