On Tuesday, Feb. 25, the pair attended the Dsquared2 Fall/Winter 2025 fashion show during Milan Fashion Week, where they looked loved-up and stylish for the event.

The tennis star, 44, wore a pink suit comprised of a low-cut blazer that revealed a bit of cleavage, as well as a simple band on her left ring finger. Preti, a 36-year-old actor and producer, wore a monochromatic black look featuring a suit, a sheer shirt with sparkly embellishments and a tie.

Williams was photographed rocking what appeared to be a square-cut diamond in the middle of a pavé-set on her left hand.

Williams previously datedmodel Elio Pisin 2012 and Nicholas Hammond in 2017, though she and Hammond split in 2019. In 2022, she spoke toGlamour UKabout navigating the dating scene.

“I think it’s really easy to get stuck in a single life and sometimes – at least for me – harder to get out of a single life,” she said, explaining that she’s been single “for a long time.”

She added that it was something she was actively “working on,” noting that she’s never been one to rush into a romantic partnership.

“This is how I work and function, and I’m okay with it,” Williams said. “When life changes, you’ve got to know when to change. You can’t hold on to either a relationship or the singleness. You have to be able to move at the time – and even if you don’t want to or aren’t ready, you’ve just got to go with it.”
