Husband
Venus Williams was reportedly in a relationship with Nicholas Hammond. Nicholas Hammond, also known as Nikki Hammond, is a wealthy financier. Venus Williams and Nikki Hammond started dating back in 2017. The beautiful couple was seen at Alexis Ohanian’s wedding to Serena Williams. But this couple did not get much media attention as many big stars were present in Serena’s wedding. Nikki was also seen cheering for Venus from the stands and motivating her during the match.But after 2 years they finally decided to separate as there was a difference in the level of commitment for both the stars. While some reports suggested that Venus was looking for a family, some still claim that this was not a valid reason for the tennis star to break up.

Williams’ seven Grand Slam singles titles are 12th on the all-time list, and 8th on the Open Era list, more than any other active female player except her sister. She has recently reached 16 Grand Slam finals at Wimbledon in 2017. Her five Wimbledon singles titles tied her with two other women for eighth place on the all-time list. She is fourth on the Open Era list behind Martina Navratilova’s nine titles and Serena Williams and Steffi Graf’s seven.
