Venus Williams is reportedly engaged to her boyfriend Hank Kuehne.
A source close to the six-time Grand Slam champion has confirmed that Venus plans to marry the PGA Tour golfer.
The Associated Press has picked up the story, citing a report first published Tuesday in Media Take Out.
“Venus is preparing for (the Australian Open) and she doesn’t need the (media) distraction,” said a Williams insider. “But everyone is very happy, especially Venus.”
Venus and her sister Serena have both arrived in Melbourne for the Australian Open. Before heading to Australia, Venus won the JB Group Classic exhibition in Hong Kong last week by defeating Maria Sharapova in the final.

How many of you wants to snatch Venus from me?
Mr. Williams ‘willed’ Venus to me from day 0.
Now, ya’ll risking legal action, although I am currently renegotiating the terms for Serena instead

Congratulations to Venus and Hank! I don’t really follow golf so I don’t know much about Hank. But I certainly follow tennis and I’ve always loved Venus (I like her quiet strength and determination) - I hope they will find lots of happiness together. Hopefully, love and maturity will see them through!
