The parents of Venus and Serena Williams have completed their divorce.
The divorce won't affect the advisory roles Richard and Oracene Williams play in their daughters' tennis careers, Raymone Bain, a publicist for Oracene and Serena Williams, said Tuesday.
The settlement was a no-fault divorce, Bain said, but financial terms were kept private.
The couple married in 1980 and separated about 18 months ago, Bain said. He said the sisters and their parents will continue to live in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
"I was very honest with our children that a reconciliation would not happen," Oracene Williams said in a statement. "They've accepted our divorce and love us, as we both love them. Richard and I will continue to work together for the good of our girls, and I truly wish him well."
