Tennis stars Katie Boulter and Alex de Minaur have delighted fans with the news of their engagement.
The British No. 1, 28, and the Australian ATP ace, 25, shared a heartwarming selfie on Instagram, revealing a sparkling emerald-cut diamond ring on Katie’s finger. The caption read: “We’ve been keeping a small secret…”
Fans and fellow tennis players flooded their post with congratulatory messages. Paula Badosa commented, “Congratulations ❤️😍,” while Jodie Burrage added, “YES YES YES 🔥❤️😍.”
Their Love Story:
The couple first crossed paths in 2020 but made their relationship Instagram official in March 2021. On Women’s Day that year, Alex shared their first post together, captioned: “Happy International Women’s Day!! Especially to this one ❤️.” Katie playfully replied, “Guess you’re alright too 😘.”
Their bond grew stronger both on and off the court. Alex even took a moment during Wimbledon 2022 to celebrate Katie’s victory over Karolina Pliskova, calling it “an amazing win.”
From Strength to Strength:
Speaking to Tatler about their relationship, Katie said, “We’re on the same wavelength when it comes to priorities. Tennis comes first, and everything else follows.”
She praised Alex’s support, calling him “an incredible partner.” Alex, in turn, frequently highlights Katie’s achievements and stands by her side through highs and lows.
The couple is set to face off in the United Cup on New Year’s Day as their respective countries, Britain and Australia, go head-to-head. Despite the rivalry, their love story continues to inspire fans worldwide.
