Venus Williams: Husband and child| Does have children| Retired
Husband and child:
Over the years, Venus, 42, has been linked to several high-profile people.
Her dating history includes:
Nicholas Hammond is a wealthy financier. He started dating Venus in 2017 and the two even attended Serena’s wedding together.
However, the two parted ways in 2019. At this time, it is unclear why the two split.
Venus Williams was born to Richard Williams and Oracene Price in Lynwood, California. She has four sisters. The family moved to Compton when she was 4 and is the start of the sisters’ careers.
Does have children:
The tennis champion doesn’t have any kids, but she’s a proud dog mom to her 14-year old Havanese, Harold Reginald Williams—whom she affectionately calls her “son.”
Venus had two main divine lovers: her husband Vulcan (Hephaistos) and Mars (Ares).
There is a myth concerning Venus’ and Mars’ love affair and how Vulcan cunningly trapped them in bed with a net. Therefore, Vulcan and Venus had a loveless marriage and no children.
Retired:
With Serena Williams set to retire once her run at this year’s US Open is over, there has been plenty of speculation that her older sister Venus may follow suit.
However, when asked after her first round singles defeat to world No. 49 Alison Van Uytvanck whether she would be looking to step away from the sport, the older Williams sister simply replied: “Right now I’m just focused on the doubles”.
The period between 2003 and 2006 was a difficult one for Williams as she suffered injury troubles. These problems lasted for a number of seasons with an abdominal injury stopping her from playing the second half of 2003.
