World No. 1 Gets Engaged Following Viral Sensation Video
Aryna Sabalenka, the world No. 1 tennis player, has announced her engagement to Georgios Frangulis. The proposal took place on a picturesque Wednesday, with Frangulis presenting Sabalenka with an impressive diamond ring. The couple shared a romantic moment surrounded by flowers and candles, which was captured in a video shared on Instagram.
In the heartfelt post, Sabalenka expressed her joy with the caption “You & me, forever,” accompanied by symbols of love, including infinity and wedding rings. This significant moment drew congratulations from fellow tennis stars, including Novak Djokovic and Ben Shelton, who commented in support of the couple.
About Georgios Frangulis
Georgios Frangulis, 37, is a successful entrepreneur and the founder of the superfood brand Oakberry. With an estimated net worth of A$151 million, he surpasses the financial achievements of his fiancée, who has multiple Grand Slam titles. Frangulis’s wealth reflects his successful business ventures and endorsements, including a partnership with the Haas Formula 1 team.
Before his entrepreneurial success, Frangulis studied law and showcased his skills on the racetrack, having participated in over 100 races in Brazil’s Portsche 911 GT3 Cup competition.
A Romantic Journey
Sabalenka, 27, and Frangulis began their relationship in early 2024. Their romance follows a period of personal loss for the tennis star, after the passing of her ex-boyfriend, former ice hockey player Konstantin Koltsov. Koltsov, who died in an incident authorities deemed an “apparent suicide,” was a significant figure in Sabalenka’s life, supporting her through the death of her father.
Reflecting on her journey, Sabalenka hinted at her future with Frangulis months before the engagement. At the Brisbane International Tournament in January, she expressed her gratitude towards him, joking about the possibility of changing their relationship status. Additionally, after witnessing a proposal at the US Open last year, she playfully remarked on the pressure it created for them.
A Bright Future
Sabalenka’s engagement comes after her successful 2022 season, where she secured the US Open title and reached the finals at the Australian Open, narrowly missing a fifth Grand Slam victory against Elena Rybakina.
The couple’s engagement marks a new chapter in their lives, filled with love and promise for the future. With their support for each other, both in personal endeavors and professional careers, the future looks bright for Aryna Sabalenka and Georgios Frangulis.
