Venus Williams revealed her long struggle with undiagnosed uterine fibroids and adenomyosis, a condition that caused years of pain and severely impacted her tennis career. Despite being told she was inoperable, she underwent a risky myomectomy and made a full recovery. Today, she’s advocating for women’s health and encouraging others to seek answers and push for better care.

For years, Venus’s symptoms were dismissed by doctors—even during her teen years. The pain worsened until it left her anemic and drained of energy, often affecting her game. Her resilience helped her push through, but the health toll was undeniable. After surgery, she returned to the court with renewed strength and focus. Beyond her tennis comeback, Venus recently announced her engagement to Italian actor-director Andrea Preti. Fans first spotted them together in Italy and later in Rome, where she wore a sparkling ring. The couple has since shared heartfelt moments in public, and Venus credits Andrea for supporting her recovery and comeback. Now at 45, Venus is embracing a new chapter—stronger, healthier, and in love. With her fiancé by her side and a fierce determination to raise awareness about women’s health, she continues to inspire both on and off the court. Her story is one of perseverance, courage, and quiet triumph.
