Venus isn’t married, in fact, a while ago, she split with her boyfriend Nicholas Hammond after dating him for two years.
They were spotted together at Venus’ sister Serena Williams‘ wedding to Alexis Ohanian. Also, he was seen cheering for Venus during tournaments. Prior to Hammond, Venus was in a relationship with Elio Pis and Hank Kuehne.

She also reminisced her first major victory at Wimbledon 2000. “Wimbledon 2000. I knew I would be the one. No one wanted it more that year or did what it took to win more than me. I just knew I would do it that year be losing wasn’t an option,” she said.
One of her fans popped-up with a question of her retirement from tennis. And World Number 67 Williams doesn’t seem to have any reason to stop playing tennis.

“Serena Williams Is One Of My Closest Friends” – Tiger Woods
There are so many similarities between Tiger Woods and Serena Williams that the two are often compared with respect to their career trajectories. They both made it big in sports that were not really known for having faces from the African American community.
However, their triumphs gave the entire community an aspiration to dream big. Tennis and golf saw more participation from the community. There’s one more thing which connects the two players.
It’s their ability to bounce back. Back in 2018, Serena was recovering from her pregnancy and post-childbirth complications while Tiger Woods was coming out of the fourth operation in his back.
None of the fans expected the two, who are very good friends in real life, to bounce back the way that they eventually did. Tiger Woods has been a long term friend, fan, and supporter of Serena Williams. He has shown up for her in the Wimbledon finals. Let’s find out what he had to say about his friend.
What did Tiger Woods say about Serena Williams?
Tiger Woods reflected on his friendship with Serena Williams. He specifically talked about the inspirational nature of the athlete.
“Yeah, Serena is one of my closest friends. Our relationship has evolved into that and it’s been awesome. She’s been an inspiration to not only me but everyone else to watch her go through her, when she was pregnant.
Having her child and then come back and then play as well as she has, getting to the finals of US Open, Wimbledon, I means it’s unbelievable what she’s done.
The way she’s dominated the game for such a long period of time, that just doesn’t happen in that sport. It just it goes to show you how good she is and how talented she is but I’ve got to know her on a personal level and as I said she’s one of my classes seat friends.”
We can’t agree more with his words. Serena Williams has truly displayed a fighter attitude in her marvelous comeback. The fans will remain hopeful that she walks out with another grand slam title before her retirement.
