Alexander Zverev’s Girlfriend Denies Breakup Rumors at Miami Open

Thomalla, a 36-year-old German reality TV host, denied breakup rumors and remained alongside Zverev. She has about 1.4 million Instagram followers.
Rumors and appearances
Thomalla skipped the Australian Open, which prompted speculation. Influencer Caroline Daur attended matches and was falsely linked to Zverev.
Before the Miami Open, the couple appeared together publicly. They attended the Taste of Tennis Miami event at Hutong on March 16, 2026, with their dog Mishka.
Mishka’s social account shared video and photo posts from the event. Thomalla also posted images from a Miami date night on her Instagram Stories.
Tournament build-up and past weeks
Thomalla and the dog also joined Zverev at Indian Wells earlier in March. Zverev lost to Jannik Sinner in the Indian Wells semifinal.

Personal background
Thomalla previously dated goalkeeper Loris Karius. She was briefly married to singer Andy LaPlegua.
Zverev has a daughter from a past relationship with Brenda Patea.
On-court mindset
At a pre-tournament press conference on March 24, 2026, Zverev outlined a change in approach. He said he intends to play a more aggressive style this year.
