Venus Williams is reportedly engaged to actor-producer Andrea Preti. The 45-year-old tennis star confirmed her engagement to the 37-year-old former model after her first singles match in more than a year on Tuesday, July 22. Venus Williams net worth: Know about her earnings after engagement confirmation (AP/PTI) (AP07_23_2025_000103A)(AP) As fans rejoice at the news, here's a look at Venus Williams' net worth: According to Celebrity Net Worth, Williams has a net worth of $95 million. Besides her career in sports, she also started her own fashion line, EleVen, in 2007. She released her first book, titled Come to Win on How Sports Can Help You Top Your Profession, in June 2010. She also appeared on various talk shows to promote her book, including The Early Show and Good Morning America. Williams earned $38 million on the court through 2017, making her the second highest-earning female tennis player of all time, topping Maria Sharapova ($36.5 million). She even put her sister, Serena Williams ($85 million), behind. Williams' career earnings stood at more than $42 million as of March 2022. Williams also made a whopping amount from endorsements – between $5 and $10 million per year – off the court. Williams spent almost $10 million on a secluded waterfront 'retirement home' in 2019. She bought the property, with its own beach and private cottage, for her sister Serena in exclusive Jupiter Island, Florida. While the main house has three bedrooms, the property has two guesthouses, tropical gardens, beautiful ocean views, a pool, an outdoor kitchen, and a bar. Venus and Serena lived together in a Palm Beach Gardens mansion in Florida during their tennis days. They bought the house for more than $600,000 back in 1998, and 20 years later, they listed it for sale at $2.5 million. Venus Williams announces engagement Williams was asked by Rennae Stubbs in a post-match interview, "You are now an engaged woman. So, how has Andrea helped you in this comeback? You're happy, a smile on your face. I mean, how much has he made a difference in your life?" "My fiancé is here and he really encouraged me to keep playing," Williams replied. "There were so many times where I just wanted to coast and kind of chill," she added. "Do you know how hard it is to play tennis? You guys don't know how much work goes into this, like it's 9 to 5 except you're running the whole time. Lifting weights and just like dying and then you repeat it the next day. So he encouraged me to get through this and it's wonderful to be here. He's never seen me play."

Beyoncé's Old Parenting Comments Resurface Amid Blue Ivy's Tour Appearance
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An old interview with Beyoncé has resurfaced with fans praising the superstar's unwavering parenting philosophy with regards to daughter Blue Ivy Carter's meteoric rise to fame. In the clip from The Early Show in June 2001, when Beyoncé was still performing as part of Destiny's Child and promoting the group's Survivor album, the singer was asked whether she would allow her future daughter to pursue a career like hers. Her answer was: "Definitely, if she wanted to do it. But I would make sure she knew all of the hard work that came with it." Now 13, Blue Ivy is living proof that her mother meant what she said. File photo: Beyoncé, left, accepts the Album of the Year award for "Cowboy Carter" with Blue Ivy Carter onstage during the 67th Annual Grammy Awards at Arena on February 2, 2025 in Los Angeles,... File photo: Beyoncé, left, accepts the Album of the Year award for "Cowboy Carter" with Blue Ivy Carter onstage during the 67th Annual Grammy Awards at Arena on February 2, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. More Kevin Winter / Staff/Getty Images Entertainment A Beyoncé fan on X, formerly Twitter, @nessasgroove, shared a video compilation, which garnered over 624,600 likes and more than 3.5 million views, with the caption: "I see A LOT of people saying Beyoncé is forcing Blue Ivy to be on stage. This is what she wants to do and clearly enjoys dancing on stage with her mother." The teenager recently made headlines after joining her mom onstage to open the Cowboy Carter tour at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium. Blue Ivy dazzled as she danced to "Déjà Vu" and took center stage for "America Has a Problem," earning widespread praise for her talent. But Blue Ivy's place under the spotlight wasn't handed to her—she earned it. Newsweek has reached out to Beyoncé's publicist for comment. In Beyoncé's 2023 Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, the superstar opened up about her daughter's desire to perform and the resistance she initially felt. "Blue told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no. I did not think it was an appropriate place for an 11-year-old on a stadium stage," Beyoncé said. "All the things that I had to go through and obstacles I had to overcome prepared me, and she hasn't had that struggle. I made a deal with her, and I said, if you practice and you show your commitment, I'll let you do one show." That single show became many. Blue Ivy appeared at several stops on the Renaissance tour, though her journey wasn't without setbacks. After seeing harsh criticism on social media about her early performances, the young dancer doubled down on her efforts. What followed was a transformation. "I feel like now my mindset has changed, and now I actually have to wake up in the morning and go to rehearsals. And I have to actually work hard," Blue Ivy said in the documentary. That work ethic paid off. Fans and critics alike noted Blue Ivy's improvement, with one TikTok comment reading: "Blue Ivy trained harder for the Renaissance Tour after reading comments about her lackluster dance moves." Jai commented: "She has EVERYTHING at her disposal & CHOOSES to put in the work for what she wants out of life. Anyone that doesn't respect that, is just miserable." "That baby could've gave up after all the hate but she let it fuel her instead," posted Mylie. Now hailed online as "the greatest nepo baby in world history," Blue Ivy is proving that she is more than her last name. While her parents—Beyoncé and Jay-Z—are estimated to be worth a combined $3 billion, Blue Ivy is carving out a name of her own. She already holds a Grammy for her vocals on "Brown Skin Girl"; earned praise for her recent voice acting in Mufasa: The Lion King; and is estimated to have a net worth exceeding $500 million—before even reaching high school. Blue Ivy continues to shine alongside her mother as an integral part of the Beyhive in the worldwide Cowboy Carter tour, which spans 32 dates. The question remains if Rumi will follow in the same path as her sister, after joining her mom on stage in an adorable embrace during the opening night of the tour.

Colin Berry, companionable Radio 2 presenter entrusted with its first overnight broadcast
Colin Berry, who has died aged 79, was a familiar voice for almost four decades on BBC Radio 2, both as the host of programmes such as Night Ride and You and the Night and the Music, and in time as the station's longest-serving newsreader. A veteran of Radio Caroline, Berry had briefly written links for Radio 1 before joining Radio 2 in 1973, after some of its announcers had moved to the new commercial radio stations such as Capital. Like many of the other presenters, he took on duties that included news reading and introducing programmes, as well as presenting late night and early morning shows. This remained the pattern of much of the rest of his career. Berry also hosted, from 1976 until 1978, The Early Show – succeeding Simon Bates – as well as The Late Show and Band Parade, and regularly filled in for Terry Wogan, David Hamilton and Jimmy Young. When, in 1979, the station became the first in Britain to broadcast for 24 hours, it was Berry who was its first overnight host, presenting items that included a cookery slot and a what's on guide. He had a wide knowledge of popular music, having fond memories of the Light Programmes he had heard as a boy. Switching between the soothing, unforced tones of a presenter, and then the authoritative ones of a newsreader, Berry was skilled at creating the necessary intimate connection with the listener. For 25 years, from 1977 until 2002 (except in 1980 and 1998), Berry was Britain's voice of the Eurovision contest, announcing the results of the jury's vote to the other watching nations. He was also Wogan's deputy in the event the line went down during the competition. Berry was seen on TV shows such as Top of the Pops and Blankety Blank, and hosted programmes for BFBS. He became a freelance presenter in 2006 and continued to read the news on Radio 2 until 2012. The younger of two brothers, Colin Derrick Berry was born on January 29 1946 at Brocket Hall, the stately home near Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. Some 8,338 'Brocket babies' were delivered there in the decade from 1939 after the City of London Maternity Hospital evacuated from the capital (wisely as it proved since its buildings were bombed in 1940). The family subsequently lived at Kenton, north-east London. His father, Cecil, was a director of Allied Suppliers, the buying arm of what was then Home and Colonial Stores, one of Britain's largest chains of grocers. Its subsidiaries included Lipton's, while Cecil Berry was particularly associated with another, Pearks Dairies. He hoped that Colin would follow in his footsteps, but since he was a boy, Colin had been fascinated by the wireless. He enjoyed recording his own mock programme reels at home. Accordingly, after leaving Wembley Grammar School, he began to make his way in the media, at first scheduling advertising slots for Granada and then Westward Television. In 1964, he started to do the same at Caroline House, the Mayfair headquarters of the floating pirate station, Radio Caroline. Part of his remit was to organise the transport of records to the ship from Holland via tender, and on one occasion he was given the chance to sit in for a newsreader aboard when they were ill. Bitten by the broadcasting bug, Berry continued to make regular appearances on the station, for a time sharing a cabin he remembered as rather small with Dave Lee Travis. A bout of especially rough weather, combined with the effects of the Marine Broadcasting Act of 1967, put paid, however, to his enthusiasm for such nautical work. For the next few years, he acquired experience instead as a presenter with BBC Radio Medway, and as a television continuity reader for HTV. After leaving Radio 2, he returned to these roots, hosting a Saturday night show broadcast on BBC Three Counties Radio (and often heard more widely) from 2004 until 2019. The pandemic ultimately forced his retirement, as did a diagnosis of Lewy Body Dementia. He met his wife Sandra (née Barker) at the Valiant Trooper, a pub close to the BBC's Charlotte Street studios. They were married in 1981, and she cared for him in his final illness. She survives him together with their son and daughter.
