Australian tennis star Alex de Minaur and his longtime girlfriend, British tennis player Katie Boulter, have announced their engagement. The couple revealed their “small secret” on December 23, delighting fans and the tennis community alike.
De Minaur and Boulter have been in a relationship since March 2020, often spotted cheering each other on from the stands during tournaments. Their bond, strengthened by their shared passion for tennis, has made them one of the sport’s most admired power couples.
Hints of the engagement surfaced a week earlier when Boulter posted a cryptic yet radiant picture on her Instagram. On December 16, the 28-year-old Brit shared photos of herself enjoying the sunset along the seashore in Alicante, Spain. Accompanied by the simple caption, “Today was a good day,” the post raised curiosity among fans. De Minaur playfully commented, “Was it now??!!” adding to the intrigue. However, his comment was swiftly deleted, further fueling speculation.
The engagement was finally confirmed on Monday when both de Minaur and Boulter shared a heartfelt picture by the beach. In the photo, Boulter donned the same outfit seen in her earlier post but this time flaunted a sparkling diamond ring. The couple captioned the Instagram post, “We’ve been keeping a small secret.”
The joyous announcement follows a trend among tennis stars during the off-season. De Minaur joins fellow players Felix Auger-Aliassime, Casper Ruud, and Alexei Popyrin, who also revealed engagements recently.
De Minaur, currently ranked World No. 9, and Boulter, who achieved a career-high ranking of World No. 23, continue to inspire on and off the court. As they celebrate this significant milestone, their fans eagerly await more glimpses into their journey together.
