Love is in the air for Venus Williams. The 41-year-old American player is dating the millionaire Nicholas Hammond, a 29-year-old. They are in Melbourne together, and visited the city, as you can see from the photos here below.
Venus and Nicolas have been in a romantic relationship for a while, as they were spotted together already. They were also having dinner last month in New York.
‘They were cuddled up the entire time they were inside the restaurant, even kissing while waiting to be seated and continuing the affection at their table,’ a source said.
Hammond, an heir to Walter Annenberg’s TV Guide fortune, is ‘a wealthy financier who goes between California and New York,’ according to a source.
Venus Williams on dating Reilly Opelka: He shot me down
Former world No. 1 Venus Williams and Reilly Opelka have a good relationship and a fan wondered if the two were dating. Seeing Williams and Opelka together has been a common thing in 2021 and a curious fan decided to ask Williams directly if there was something more to it.
“Are you and Reilly dating?,”” a follower asked Williams. Williams responded: “No @ReillyOpelka shot me down.” Williams is a big mental health advocate and recently she spoke about the important of good mental health.
“My parents were big proponents of mental health — not just self-care, but proactivity,” Williams said, per The New York Post. “It was about realizing that the world is a beautiful place, but it’s also a challenging place, and that you have to prepare mentally to be able to handle the pressures.
I was able to succeed in places where others [didn’t] because I had that support from a young age.” Martion Bartoli recalls losing to Williams A few days ago, Bartoli recalled her first Grand Slam final at 2007 Wimbledon in which she lost to Venus Williams.
“It helped me a lot. In 2007, it came out of nowhere,” Bartoli told We Are Tennis. “I had just beaten Justine Henin, a great champion. It was an earthquake in the tennis world. I did not have much time to prepare for the final against Venus Williams.
My semi-final ended on Friday night, and I had to play the final on Saturday. I remember waking up thinking: ‘Wow, I am a Wimbledon finalist! I am going to play the match I have dreamt of since I was a child…’ There were important people in the stands… The boss of the brand with the Swoosh was sitting in my box… I was under a lot of pressure.
Not that I would have beaten Venus for sure if I had managed to deal with that, but I would have definitely been a tougher opponent.”
