AceShowbiz - Tennis ace Venus Williams and her boyfriend, Nicky Hammond, have split, according to reports.
Hammond, who is 12 years younger than the sportswoman, was Venus' date to her sister Serena Williams' wedding to Alexis Ohanian in 2017.
A source tells Page Six, "They dated for two years and have broken up. It's not because they don't love each other, they do. They are still friends."
Hammond was often spotted cheering Venus on at tennis tournaments.
The star lost in straight sets to French Open champion Ashleigh Barty at the Birmingham Classic in England on Friday, June 21. Barty went on to win the pre-Wimbledon competition on Sunday.
