The two individuals have yet to officially comment on the nature of their connection.
Williams and Onieva are featured in the forthcoming series Hotel Costiera, scheduled to debut on Amazon Prime on Wednesday, September 24. Williams portrays Daniel "DD" De Luca, a character described as a half-Italian former Marine who makes his way back to Italy. As per the show's summary, DD secures a position at an opulent hotel situated on the Amalfi Coast.
Onieva takes on the role of a character named Sheryl, though specific information regarding her part has been kept confidential. The ensemble of Hotel Costiera additionally features Maria Chiara Giannetta, Jordan Alexandra, Antonio Gerardi, Sam Haygarth, Tommaso Ragno, Amanda Campana, Pierpaolo Spollon, and Jean-Hugues Anglade.
Williams's past marital relationship was with Aryn Drake-Lee. The former spouses, whose wedding took place in 2012, are parents to two children: their daughter Sadie, 11 years old, and their son Maceo, 9 years old. April 2017 marked the separation of Williams and Drake-Lee, concluding five years of their union.
Their separation subsequently became contentious due to disputes regarding their children's custody, however, the divorce was formally concluded in 2020, with both parties consenting to joint legal and physical custody.
Us Weekly had earlier verified in September 2024 that Williams had sought an alteration to their current agreement, seeking equally shared physical custody and an increase in visitation times. A judicial ruling subsequently granted Williams exclusive legal authority over his children's medical decisions. Based on documents acquired by Us in May 2025, Drake-Lee initiated a filing to reverse Williams's medical custody of their two offspring. The subsequent court appearance for Drake-Lee and Williams has since been postponed because of conflicts in scheduling.
