Venus Williams may not be leaving Australia with an Australian Open trophy, but she might have gotten an even sweeter consolation prize. Williams was spotted wearing a suspicious diamond on her ring finger, which immediately sparked engagement rumors.
Before the tournament started she was seen relaxing on the beach wearing a silver ring with two diamonds in a swirl design.
And two weeks later when she headed home, she was spotted wearing the ring again at the airport.
A rep for Williams tells PEOPLE Venus Williams is not engaged, but she does spend a lot of her time with her beau, who she’s yet to make official.
While she may not have been served up a ring officially yet, it seems like things are only heating up for the couple.

Venus Williams dating fellow tennis star
American tennis star Venus Williams may have a new playing partner, and this guy is a tall one. Venus may possibly be dating 23 year old 6 feet, 11 inch tall American tennis player Reilly Opelka.
First they were spotted hitting together. This is actually a very common practice among tennis players, so nothing too crazy.
Although Venus is much older than Reilly, so there’s that.
