Venus Williams, the legendary tennis icon, has always kept her personal life private — and 2025 is no different. However, recent reports have reignited public interest in her rumored engagement. Is Venus Williams finally settling down? Let’s take a closer look at the truth behind her elusive love life in 2025.
Venus Williams’ Relationship Status: Engaged or Not?
As of mid-2025, Venus Williams is not officially engaged, despite persistent rumors circulating online. While she has been linked to several notable figures in the past — including Cuban model Elio Pis — there is no confirmed public engagement as of July 2025.
The speculation was reignited after fans noticed Venus sporting a diamond ring during a Wimbledon press conference earlier this year. Social media quickly buzzed with engagement theories, but the athlete has not made any public announcement confirming a relationship or fiancé.
A Look at Her Past Relationships
Venus has kept her love life largely out of the spotlight. However, here are a few known connections over the years:
- Elio Pis – A Cuban model and entrepreneur. The two dated from around 2012 to 2017 and were frequently spotted together at events.
- Nicholas Hammond – A millionaire financier rumored to have been close with Venus between 2017 and 2019.
- Unconfirmed relationships have continued to fuel speculation, especially due to her reserved public persona.
Despite her fame, Venus remains fiercely protective of her personal space — a choice fans have come to respect over time.
Social Media Buzz in 2025
The engagement rumors gained new momentum after a TikTok video speculated that Venus had a secret wedding in Europe. The claim originated from a fan account that posted a blurry photo allegedly showing Venus in a bridal outfit.
However, fact-checkers and reputable outlets like Cosmopolitan have confirmed there is no verifiable evidence of a wedding or engagement.
Venus herself responded subtly through an Instagram story, writing: “I love love. But I’m still married to the game.” This cryptic message only added fuel to the speculation, but also reaffirmed her commitment to tennis and privacy.
Why Venus Stays Private
Unlike her sister Serena, who married Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Venus has maintained an independent lifestyle. In past interviews, she has openly shared that she does not feel pressured to marry or settle down by societal standards.
In fact, her 2021 interview with Harper’s Bazaar revealed she finds great freedom and happiness in being single. “I have a lot of love in my life,” she said. “I don’t need a relationship to validate that.”
Venus Williams in 2025: Still Winning
Venus may not have a confirmed fiancé, but she continues to dominate headlines for all the right reasons:
- Launching her new fashion line under the EleVen brand
- Returning to the court in select exhibition matches
- Speaking at mental health and women’s empowerment conferences globally
At 45, she remains a powerful figure in sports, business, and advocacy — with or without a ring.
