The superstar of women’s tennis, Venus Williams reportedly broke up with her boyfriend, Nicholas Hammond after the rumors of their engagement took the headlines. Hammond, the multi-millionaire heir to the Annenberg family fortune was first spotted with Venus in 2017 when he accompanied her to Serena’s wedding in New Orleans.
The duo had reportedly dated for two years until they both called it to a stop in 2019. Hammond used to often accompany her on tours and even cheered for her in the Australian Open. The couple then traveled to Hamilton Island for a very romantic vacation. Ever since there have been lots of PDAs and appearances without any direct comment on the relationship.

Venus was sighted wearing a ring which gave rise to headline engagement rumors. However, in a statement, she clarified the wind saying the ring was nothing more than a commitment of friendship. Hammond also spelled out that he wishes to keep the relationship private and has maintained a low profile ever since.
Even though the couple has a 12-year age gap, they looked really happy together for the 2-year time they were together. Not much is known about the reason for their abrupt end, however, a source exclaimed, “It’s not because they don’t love each other, they do. They are still friends.” In 2019, Venus and Nicholas broke up.
A look at Venus Williams’ past relationships
From 2007 through 2010, Venus Williams and golfer Hank Kuehne were committed partners. The couple was well known for keeping their dating life a secret and rarely appeared in public together. Yet, they were occasionally spotted together on different occasions, such as at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
After being seen together in photos at the U.S. Open in early 2012, Venus Williams and Elio Pis were first connected. Venus and Elio were seen enjoying each other’s company while strolling along the beach during a vacation in Italy.
Rumors were circulating at the time that the couple was becoming more committed and might even be considering marriage.

After being spotted together at multiple events in 2017, Venus Williams and Grigor Dimitrov were said to be dating. Speculation about their romantic involvement began when the duo was seen holding hands and kissing at the 2017 Australian Open.
Despite the allegations of a relationship between the two, neither of them has actually denied or accepted it. After the Australian Open, they were not seen together. Given that both players are known to maintain a low profile, it is unclear why their relationship ended or if they ever had a relationship.
