Celebs quickly filled the comments with love. Fellow tennis player Coco Gauff dropped heart eyes while Caroline Wozniacki sent her congratulations, prompting Preti to respond with matching hearts of his own.

Though the couple has kept their romance low-key, fans have spotted them everywhere from the Amalfi Coast to the CFDA Fashion Awards. Williams even credited Preti earlier this year for encouraging her competitive comeback.

With a 2026 return to the court on her horizon and wedding bells in the air, she is entering her next chapter glowing and winning.
