Venus Williams and Hank Kuehne

UPDATE: Rumors say Venus Williams and Hank Kuehne might be engaged!

Something tells me that I’ve seen this news somewhere before, but now that she’s at Wimbledon (and advancing to the 4th round), the pics are all over. Bossip tells me that Venus is going with this Hank Kuehne character who pocketed just over 10k on the Nationwide Tour as a golfer (and $2.6 mil on the PGA Tour as Curt in the comments points out). Now he has the pleasure (?) of traveling first class around the world and nailing Venus Williams at night. Yikes. He’s also reportedly divorced, carrying some baggage. So where and how did these two get together? There are some questions that just may never go answered. This might be one of them.

      Wow, you guys really are stupid. Hank Kuehne comes from a great golf family and is one of the longest hitters in PGA tour history. While he hasn’t won much on the great “Nationwide Tour”, he’s won $2,727,633 on that lesser tour called the PGA Tour (you might have heard of it). He’s been plagued by injuries and other off-the-course problems during his career. Next time you open your mouths and call someone a loser, hopefully you’ll know something about what you’re saying.

      Venus can do alot better.She can date whoever she wants but he does have that wierdo look about him.I hope he doesn’t clean Venuses bank account.She needs a good,respectable,black man who can identify with her as a black woman.Both she and Serena need to exercise other options.To just date white In spite?Time will tell If her smarts transfer off court.

      Venus should not be dating this guy. I am not against inter-racial couples ( I am Jamaican, my man is Danish: Obig, bite us all!! I rememebr all the “good black” American kids making fun of me and my siblings for being dark skinned and speaking British style English, even up to college age). I am against hot girls dating a man who has ever dated a short troll who was not as hot. But in the end, anyone (meaning black person) who says a white dude can’t throw down, needs to come talk to me!! Those Scandinavians, Danes and Dutch (like old Hank) got the “goods”. Besides trolls need the “goods” too!!
      Venus is not an idiot, believe me, her dad must have investigated this guy, spoken to the ex-wife to get teh real “411″. The family would never risk their image or bank roll.

      p.s. My little Belgian Doll Kim Clijsters walked away from tennis (and injuries) to marry some white dude (formerly of Villanova?) playing in NBA Europe. She is a LOT richer than he. However, when the right one comes along, you have to go for it!! How many rich male athletes have been taken by women?? I am all for equality. Spread some of that sports wealth.

      Harry Bahls, I am a black woman and I give props to Venus for finding love, color DOESN’T matter. At the same time I understand where Obig is coming from. That doesn’t make me or Obig racists. I’ve noticed in the press Venus and Serena have only been noted to dated white men. That is their preference. I’ve dated, white, black and even an Asian guy. That’s my preference. But one can’t help but to wonder why they’ve been known only to date white men. I’m sure that’s all Obig was trying to say. Nothing more. For the Jaimaican/Danish complexion issues, extra baggage issues, who’s a punk comments, it sounds like you all need to email Oprah and GET OVER IT. Simply congratulate the couple and support the sports!

      Uh… I have no problem with interracial relationships. If i see a fine woman black/white/asian/indian/etc.. then she is just fine woman. Now exclusive outside of your race does raise questions. And it might not necessarily mean it is an issue about her. For those claiming love so fast are you same people making claims about the countless number of couples that breakup after a month or year? Divorce does bring baggage and it is a reality of life. Can she deal with that baggage is the issue and why was there a divorce since ya’ll seem to care about Ms Williams. What if he was known to abuse his previous wife.

      I don’t mind interracial but exclusive outside of your race is not good no matter what race you are.

      Before I say anything else, “Good Luvin!” emotionally or sexually is about chemistry. It’s either there or it’s not. When it’s there, all this other bullshit mentioned in prior posts is totally irrelevant(black,white,hung,money,etc).

      To Nadine, and I say this as a Black Rastafarian (whose life partner is blond, green eyed Irish/German) I have nothing but love for your dark skin and british accent, always have. It sounds like you’re carrying some latent resentment, and I hope at some point you can let go of that because it only dims your light.

      As for Venus and Hank, if their union is healthy and mutually healing, I offer nothing but encouragement and support.

      Jah Strength, Guidance, and Protection!

      Not sure where everyone got the idea that Venus and Serena only date white men. Serena has dated (the ones I know about) a professional football player, who is black and is currently dating an actor, who is also black. I think there is some confusion. Her current man attended Wimbleton and was sitting in the box with her dad during most of her matches. Not sure about Venus’ dating practices. My opinion is that this guy is a golddigger and I would say the same thing if it were a woman/man no matter what color they are. This reeks of someone trying to get into the spotlight because his career is in the dumps. But, hey, I don’t know. Only God knows what’s really going on.

      A Google search brought me to this interesting discourse.

      What I’ve read truly underscores how something beautiful can be second-guessed, condemned, criticized, supported, welcomed and questioned the minute it becomes public. It’s amazing how many people project their own unhappiness, insecurity, bigotry, envy, jealousy and vitriol into someone else’s previously private relationship.

      Would it be so hard to take the high road all the time, and give two happy people more positive energy instead of trying to take it from them with unnecessary criticism and venom?

      Congratulations to Venus for winning Wimbledon for a fourth time and to achieve this feat on the 50th anniversary of Althea Gibson’s first historic victory. Also, cheers to Hank and Venus for recognizing each other’s many virtues–virtues that I hope will remain hidden from curious and destructively voyeuristic onlookers.

      Oh, I’m a Black Brit, who lives in metro Atlanta, and I base my choice of lovers on things that really matter– a caring soul, sincerity, consistency, dependability, honesty, respect, passion, and a healthy libido with the skills to satisfy me. Money doesn’t even factor into the equation. I’ll make my own $$ and share it as I see fit.

      To each his/her own. It is her choice whom she dates or marry. No matter how we feel about it. Would rather see her with someone within the race, but like I said it is her own choice. I guess it is not like white girls who date black athletes because of their status. Let’s face it, these girls would never have dated black males if it wasn’t for the fame and money!!! As a black male I only date black females. Racist? That is up to you. I was never attracted to a woman of no-color! Plus I am not going to worry about wether her family accepts me or not. Even though it would be more like if I accept her family. Anyway Venus, do your thing, the sad thing is “celebrity” relationship almost never last. I give this one another year!

      What is wrong being in love with a person from different race than you? love knows no boundaries and absolutely do not care what color you are . It is all about respect and trust for each other.let her love whoever she chooses and yes she works for her money the same way that a lot of wealthy male athletes do and we never question the women they date . if this relationship does not work out she will date someone else.there is nothing wrong with that. I am a black south african woman who kissed a lot of frogs before I met my black american prince and it has been a joy for both the last 23years. bravo to her let love rule.

      Dear Amazed, actually I am cool. emotionally. I have dated Black Caribbean Canadians and Black Latinos, just not “brotha’s”, and never will. My choice. My dad is Rastafarian, I love the hair so I do have a thing for guys with long hair, dreads, blonde or soccer player curly, bring it.
      I am happy for Venus winning her 4th. It would have been AWESOME if it had been Henin who got served so badly. Bon Chance to Miss Bartoli. Way to earn half a mil mama!!

      To the rest of the haters/doubters, divorce happens. Maybe his wife met him when he was in the midsts of earning his career 2.6 million, AND might have left after he hurt his back and was not able to play on the PGA Tour. His family is well known, and wealthy. As I stated in my first post, I am sure V’s dad conducted a background check on him. Besides, he’s a big step above Serena’s ex, pot head Ricky Williams…

It is between the two of them to decide whether or not it will work. Not you and not me! The nerve of some of you passing comments about who she should date! What business is it of yours?

      I doubt I’ll say anything further in this forum but, before I get back to my normal pursuits, I want to share this quote from the writings of Hugh Prather:

      ” . . . Reality is what reality is, and whatever it may be, it is so vast that no one sees it all. There would be no more intellectual standoffs if just this much were realized. We are all looking at the same thing and each of us is seeing something. But, since we are standing in different positions, our points of view differ. Fortunately, we can move. And we must if we are to see more . . ..”

      I’ve always been infatuated with Venus and Serena. They are beautiful, strong and healthy young women, and unbelievably talented and driven tennis players. I have no idea what they are like personally (and neither do the rest of you), but from what we can see, either one would be a great prospect for a partner (even without the money).

      John, you’ve got it all WRONG. The way I see it?
      Everytime there is a financially successful black person, be they male or female, there is always a white parasite hank-ering around somehow to get their filthy hands on the money. This Hank whoever (just listen to that honky name?) is a dunce and an alcoholic loser, weak inside and financially poor (ex wife and son to support) he needs help with the money. Venus would do wisely to drop his hand.
      It makes one wonder if that is the name of the game, get back the money into ‘white’ hands.

People are attracted to each other for a myriad of reasons. Besides which, this couple owes no one an explanation for whom they date.

      Just stumbled across this while reading about Venus’s 4th Wimbledon. Very interesting comments indeed. I personally don’r care that she’s dating a white man. I am Jamaican and prefer black men, but have not been treated very well by them. The most imprttant thing in any relationship in my humble opinion is that man respects and treats her well. I am damn sure that Richard Williams is not going to let any opportunist exploit Venus. So, this leads me to believe that this is the real deal. The only thing that surprises me is the fact that he is divorced because I married (notice the past tense?) someone who had a child and the ex was ALWAYS interfering. Hopefully, he’s handling his business. Other than that, You gwaan girl. Nuff respect.

      This guy must have some good qualities otherwise he would not get past Richard, and he’s saying the guy is good people. And for the record, Venus would have beaten Henin if she had not been stunned by Bartoli, recognise. Secondly, Venus and Serena are not cows, nor do they have men arms. I never hard anyone mention Henin’s arms, legs, Kunetsova’s massive thighs… and I could go on. These are athletes, they train in the gym to be able to play at the level they are playing.

I love women of all of all races . but, not all of them would i date, I prefer white women and think that’s the way it should be. I’ve ask myself many of times about dating beyond my race when i was younger and came to the conclusion it’s wrong. Because, when it became time to have children i wanted them to be of the same race.

      Venus and Serena, I am so very proud of both of you. Everyone on this board, you nor I are in a position to judge anyone. God said before each of us were in our mother’s womb, he knew who we were going to be and what we were going to do. In regards to color of one’s skin, God chose it. If you need to fight someone, fight Him. Whom do you think the winner will be. The Bible says do not be unequally yoked. Being unequally yoked is not color of skin. It is about believing in the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Solomon, the richest man to ever lived spoke about how he lusted after other women who had a different god than he. Instead of wandering what would happen if they got together, we need to ask ourselves, what would happen if the made it? Instead of us speaking against the negative, let us dwell on the positive. What happens if they make it?

      I am with you Jade. As long as we deal only with what we see outwardly, we will never know the true individual. And the other thing, jealousy is a cruel bed fellow. The green eyed monster will steal, kill, and destroy. If Venus had lost, we would have had some really shocking things to say. Venus has made history and all of us are alive to see, hear, and read about it. Normally in history, we are told about what someone has said and done. But for us, we are ALIVE and able to see history change.

      Congratulations Venus, I, too, am proud of you. You are a woman of excellence and I pray that you continually prosper. And, if love is on the horizon, go for it. There are people who have been married for years and know that they are married to the wrong person(s). If God did not ordain this relationship, it will not work. If He did, love him with all of your heart. Love is not about money or the color of one’s skin. Love is about respect, honesty, integrity, and a committment to one another. Instead of saying it will not work, ask yourself, what if it does?

      I suggest you read the parable of the good samaritan. I suggest you really read Jesus’ messages about love. You want your child to be the same race as you..? So if you had a child from a Japanese woman, wouldn’t the child be of the human race? what would it be, a Martian? Jovian? What exactly.

      Congrats Venus!
      I’m not racist but do not believe in having kids outside of your own race, causes way too much problems in the future the kids do not know where they belong.
      I think Venus could have done better than that..she is acting way too desperate to put herself with someone like this punk!!!
      Out of the two sisters I love Venus, Serena is a bit to whorish,,,Venus on the other hand is a true respectful reserve lady and I would like her to end this relationship and think twice..she is young and never been married I dont think she should fall for any devorce man he deserves a devorce woman like himself he has way too much baggage.

      I think Venus is desperate. I mean why date a white man? Obviously some black women are so fed up they cross the colour line out of desperation and don’t want to give a good black man a chance.

      I do question why does Venus ALWAYS date white men? Serena has only dated one white guy. And AT LEAST the white guy Serena dated Brett Ratner was a famous film director. If Venus is going to go white why date an unsuccessful man?

      Are you trying to tell me no good black man don’t want Venus. I will tell you right now that is a LIE. I would date Venus if I had the CHANCE. I do question, why Venus will NOT give a good looking young black man a chance? I believe Venus has issues. I really do. Venus comes from a strong black family so why does she consistently date white?

      I think Venus has daddy issues. I really do. In the press in the last few months Richard Williams has been saying some negative things about Venus game when she wasn’t playing well. In Venus victory speech she gave more praise to her mother and Serena and Hank. She really didn’t mention her father she just said thanks dad. I think Venus is angry at her father. I also don’t believe Richard really approves of Venus crossing the colour line.

      I am skeptical of this relationship because Venus is an international tennis superstar and this hank character is a NOBODY and to top it off the guy is DIVORCED with a CHILD. Sorry that’s TOO MUCH baggage.

      Andre, you make racists everywhere rejoice with your narrative[probably yourself included]. Did you rant on the Seal and Heidi Klum union? I guess it is ok for a brother to cross those color lines, just not a sister. Hmm, racist, possible double standard, one more character flaw and you’ll hit the trifecta.

      I wish she would marry the guy and give us all a break! She is not very dedicated to tennis and only has the fashion career because of it.
      The only reason that she is competitvie at all, is because the women’s tour is so pathetically thin in talent. If she or Serena had to go 5 sets they would die.
      I am not saying that I personally could beat her, but please give me a little more dedication to your craft or get married to you golfer and settle down. I’ve had enough of your fashion statements.
      Give me Cris Evert any day. Now there was a babe who was a dedicated professional and not a teeny bobber/yuppie like the Williams sister!

      All very good points Andre, but could you get off the white women long enough to realize that Hank is not unsuccessful, he has made millions of dollars in his sport. But I guess Venus should dump him and coming running straight to you because you are black and your car wash business is so successful.

      Congrats Venus on your recent victory. In relation to your choice of dating, thats not for me or any sensible person to judge. You are your own destiny. Do not allow society or anyone to determine where you put your next foot.
      For all the critics (positive or negative) it pays to consider another person’s feelings. It is time we look beyond the epidermis (the outer skin) and look at the soul. Is he or she worthy of each other’s company? Does he/she owe his/her success to each other’s influence?
      What do we know? We are bystanders, therefore speak as one. Encourage others to do good and do not impose your way of life or thinking.
      Black, yellow, or white, no one knows why God created such diversity but he did and will continue to do so. This diversity transcends humanity. Look at the plants and animals and you also see diversity.
      Enjoy God’s creation and live.

      Jim, I sensed a hint of jealousy or bias in your statement “The only reason that she is competitvie at all, is because the women’s tour is so pathetically thin in talent. If she or Serena had to go 5 sets they would die.”
      What have the sisters done to your displeasure? Please name one athlete who doesn’t endorse a product. If you are so disturbed by the sisters go get a talent,( I suggest tennis ) and compete. I guarantee with your negative attidude you will not last the first set.
      I think you should conduct researches and get out the cave Plato described in his writings.
      Good luck on being a better critic.

      It’s always amazes me how successful black men could date anybody mostly beneath them financially and mostly white. Seal, quincy Jones, basketball players,actirs no problems. But let a successful, black woman date the same way, the black man is upset and is questionable.

      A sign of the times how distance we are from each other. I saw it starting in the seventies. With new opportunities in the world, blacks, especially woman went nuts, with all the glamour of the world. The guys ego-tripped and started being self absorbed with the enlighten knowledge we started to envision. It’s all by design. I have whites friends and other, but I realize the system is design to either: steal (our brightest away), kill (love for one another), or destroy (God’s love from loving another), as the scripture say. The mentality of BET TV is killing us further. Those (as Venus), who have higher character than the BET crowd may laugh with them, but need someone who’s above the phony image the black culture is about now. I’m sad at how we lost the innate love towards each other we once had. Were, mostly black women, are now programmed to be dissatisfied with each other. The white guy can have the same exact faults, but in nurtured and overlooked, as it should be. I’ve seen it many times with my own eyes. I say only returning to God, with the Holy Spirits help can save our mind and hearts. While someone may try to insult me with what I said here, we’re digging our own graves of deceiving ourselves. Guys (black), all this “BET” player, or conforming “to” other than God, will eventually lend us to before foolish pretenders, than other will see and chuckle at (inside), while you think their respecting you. Bottom line, this world system is design to make fools and mental slaves of us (all really), and operate by our feelings and thoughts that were not aware cleverly put into us via, TV, peer pressure, error conversation and the like. Trust your inside, pray and ask God to come be in you, and heal and replace our errors with his wisdom and love. Above “all”, his kind of love. God’s love only is what will bring our woman back to us, any lesser (man made) love the enemy of us all has power over to divert and corrupt. God bless, our only hope…

      Larry UR an idiot, I am sure the millions of dollars, Hank has in his bank account qualify him for the “White Trash” label you so elequenty put on him. I am sure she would be better off with you. Amen Joann finally someone is seeing this for what it really is…. Nothing at all, why is it that a “brother” can date a white girl and he isn’t turning his back on his race but let a black woman do it and she is completely shunned by the entire black community. If the white man openly spoke of his distaste of a white woman with a black man he would be labeled a racist. Why? What is good for one is good for the other. Times have changed, this isn’t the 50’s any longer, it is acceptable for people of all races to be together, hell it is acceptable for people of the same sex to be together, so get over it you all can’t change anything VENUS and every other free person in this world will be with whom ever they choose regardless of how anyone feels about it. Also, Carl I don’t think anything could bring a woman to you. I have no idea what you were talking about. Seek professional help….SOON.

      GUDEX / FEMOUCHE - Right on!! Black athletes & actors try to find the lightest, Black female they can. If that fails they go Hispanic or Asian. Again, their choices. Not my business.

      CAM - Get over yourself. What’soffensive?? Being called “bootylicious” is offensive.

      CARL / MYE- You lost me. Right JAke?? LOL

      I think the title of the thread “Sugar Mama” its obvious that the person that runs this site is even skeptical of their relationship. Venus used to date an Italian guy for so long David Tomasoni now that guy was educated had a degree in economics or something. No one knows why they broke up? Yet Venus is dating this new guy and he doesn’t seem very successful in life. The guy is divorced with a child. Venus is young. Why would she want all the drama and baggage? I mean dealing with the ex wife and all that stuff. Its not right. I am surprised Richard and Oracene are cool with this? I wonder what Serena thinks? I mean if Venus is going to go white why go for someone not successful?

      Mye,
      You miss my point! I am not jealous of Venus, nor do I begrudge someone for their endorsements. I am just complaining about her lack of dedication to the her craft. She is a typical example of the modern day athlete who makes big bucks at a young age and then loses the desire to compete. Never mind who she is dating. She is missing a date with history. No one is going to remember her as one of the all time greats when she is winning one major every couple of years.
      I do not have her God given talent and again am not jealous. I was really pulling for her and Serena a few years ago, but now I have become dissapointed and bored with their lack of desire and dedication.

      Every man and woman has a right to choose whom they please. I have problems with those who label an entire race as bad or good, such as there are no good black men so I date white men, Or there are no good white women so I date black women. Personally, if I got wealthy like the William sisters, I would only date women somewhere in the fascimile of my success, which increase the odds that she likes me rather than my money. Successful men or women who date people of other races or the same race that are financially low on the totem pole put themselves at high risk of being sugar momma’s and daddy’s. That not to say that it is true for all cases but certainly it increases the risk significantly. Is this the case for Venus - I don’t no the whole story - but I would not be as alarm if it was Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, or Chris Tucker, Jay Z, or Michael Jordan that she was dating, because they don’t need her or her money to validate there life. What ever your preference for dating - black, white, chinese, japanese, african, hispanic, mexican, go ahead and do it but please don’t say there are no good black, white, oriental, or hispanic men and women so I data another race, that is a foolish belief and attitude. PS. dating a specific race hoping or thinking they are superior or better than another race is foolish. It is all about personalities meshing together. white, black, hispanic, oriental all are guilty of spousal abuse physically, verbal abuse, guilty of infidelity and cheating on their love ones, guilty of child neglect and parential duties. I hope Venus does not think or believe a white man is the answer to her problems but is more focused on the individual attributes no matter what the race.

      First of all, who here has been more successful than Hank? Who is good enough to be a professional athelete and to have made 3.5 million at it already. Is he as successful as her? No, but he has done well! If Venus were a man and she was a woman, he would be Cinderella and we would not be having this discussion! And are people saying that he is a failure in life because he is divorced. That means about half of the American adult population are failures. Is Andre Agassi a failure too? Also it is none of our business who she dates.

      Venus, congratulations on your fabulous win. I don’t care about the black/white issue and neither should you…..but you should care about the type of person Hank is. He comes from a wealthy (but classless) family in Texas. Ask him about his sister Kelly’s initials and why she was named Kelly Kay Kuehne. Hank pursued and totally snowed his first wife. She was devoted to him and he payed her back by cheating throughout their whole marriage.
      Are you aware that he is incapable of having a healthy relationship with a woman………just beware.

      How come Venus and Serena have been sleeping around? I used to know them as committed Jehovah’ s witnesses and I remember seeing them on TV saying they didn’t believe in pre-marital sex. It’s true that they were 19 and 18 then, and nobody knows what they went through that has made them change their mind. I just wonder whether they’re still Jehowah’s witnesses or they did backslide for good?

      Just watched Venus play at a fundraiser in Newport Beach. She looked happy to me, and well grounded. Stay out of her private life. Do something more constructive with your life, and impress us a little. Interracial relationships, are just relationships, not interracial, unless of course you are a racist, then, that means you stink at living - therefore, get off this line.

      Take it from me. If it works, it simply works.

      Why is success judged on dating someone outside of your race if you are african-american. ?As I african-american male, there is no reason why I would not date outside of my race. My mother is an african american woman, my grandmother is an african american woman, my aunts are african american women. We have the most beautiful women on this earth. For me to say that if I get sucessful I will only dat outside of my race is a slap in the face to all of them. And that does not make me a racist, It makes me keeping it real. any responses e-mail me at anthxeria@aol.com
