Venus and Serena Williams are two of the most celebrated women’s tennis players of all time. Although the sisters stayed in the limelight mainly due to their on-court performances during their initial years on the Tour, Serena caught the eye of the public for her off-court activities as well. Especially her romantic relationships over the years have caught the attention of both fans and the media. However, unlike her sister, Venus managed to keep her personal life from being blown out of proportion by the media. Of course, there was some coverage, but it never went to the point of unsettling her.

Since 2019, Venus has been living the life of a single woman. In a recent Instagram Story, Venus shared a glimpse of ‘Love Is Blind’ with her fans. Turns out she is an avid follower of the addictive dating reality television series.

In her Instagram story, Venus offered her fans a glimpse of her love for Netflix’s reality TV series ‘Love Is Blind’. It’s a dating reality show that pairs fifteen single men and fifteen single women living in the same city. The men and women date each other in pods where they can talk to and hear each other. However, the pods prevent them from seeing each other, which makes the dates fascinating.

Participants of the show have the option of extending marriage proposals. They can see their respective dates only if they accept the proposals. Following this, the couples can spend some quality time together and decide whether they want to truly tie the knot.
