VENUS WILLIAMS has married her partner Andrea Preti for a second time.
The couple first wed in Italy in September but have had a second ceremony in Florida.
Williams, 45, and Italian actor Preti held their celebration over six days on Palm Beach with their close friends and family.
The newlyweds were also treated to a stunning gift from Williams’ sister Serena.
Venus told Vogue that her sister had gifted them a yacht which hosted some of the wedding guests.
She said: “Serena gave us this gift of a beautiful yacht, and she arranged all the food, everything.
“We had ten to 12 of our closest family and friends who were in town on the boat.
“We were singing, dancing, gossiping, and just enjoying each other.”
The couple had the second wedding because of paperwork issues regarding their Italian ceremony.
The paperwork can take up to eight months to become official but that problem is dodged with the Florida wedding.
Preti still had plenty of his family members welcomed over to the United States for the ceremony.
They were hosted at dinners and pool parties ahead of the big day.
The loving couple recited their vows in both English and Italian before partying on into the early hours of Saturday.
Venus said: “It was just the happiest, most beautiful, sweetest day.”
Preti added: “When I saw Venus, she was beautiful, like a goddess. I was crying and happy.”
Venus announced to the public that their wedding had taken place on Instagram.
She shared multiple pictures from the day and wrote: “Guess what I did this weekend?
“Yes, that’s right! We got married! It was and still is a dream!”
Williams met Preti back in 2024 during a fashion show in Milan which she opted to go to on a “whim”.
Williams said: “I was in Lake Como on a sister’s trip when I got an invite at the last minute and decided to go on a whim.
“Andrea was tired. Neither of us was planning on being there.”
