Venus Williams and boyfriend, TV Guide heir Nicky Hammond, are giving everyone relationship goals

Speculations about the lovely couple getting secretly engaged have been doing the rounds for a while now

Apparently, things have been getting quite serious between tennis star Venus Williams and her boyfriend Nicholas 'Nicky' Hammond. Hammond seems to already have 'put a ring on it', but one of his friends told Page Six that it is not an engagement ring, but more of a 'friendship ring.'

Perhaps it is indeed this 'friendship ring' from Hammond that most fans have confused with Venus's diamond ring that she has owned for many years, and this is what may have sparked speculation in the past. However, Hammond clearly declined to comment on the issue, and told the publication, “We have a firm commitment to one another to keep our relationship private.”
