The tennis champion is single—and for now, she prefers it that way. While recording an Instagram Live in 2021, she candidly responded to a fan question about her love life. She said, “Lots of people asking me to go on a date. I’m just not. I would say, ‘I’m undateable.’ That’s OK, I’m happy.”
news might surprise some fans, since Williams was in a relationship with Nicholas Hammond as recently as 2019. Speaking of…
Nicholas (or Nicky) Hammond is a successful financier and an heir to the Annenberg family fortune. The millionaire, who was born into an affluent family, studied at Trinity School before going to New York University. Then, he went on to work as a private financier for high-profile clients.
Hammond’s upbringing was mostly private, so it wasn’t until he met Williams that he started drawing media attention.Williams and Hammond started dating in 2017. The former couple were spotted showing PDA on quite a few occasions and even attended Serena and Alexis Ohanian’s wedding together. Plus, Hammond was often seen courtside at his girlfriend’s games. But in 2019, they called it quits.

After Hammond, fans began to speculate that Williams and fellow tennis player Reilly Opelka were an item—mainly because they were frequently spotted together in 2021. However, it appears that the two are just good friends. During an Instagram Q&A, when one follower asked if she and Opelka were together, she said, “No @ReillyOpelka shot me down.”
As for her relationship history pre-Hammond, Williams dated pro golfer Hank Kuehne from 2007 to 2010. And in 2012, she reportedly dated Cuban model Elio Pis after they worked together on her EleVen fashion line.
