In times of difficulty, a comforting message from a loved one can do magic. Such is the case with Nick Kyrgios, who shared a poignant reflection on the dual nature of life’s journey. Today, Kyrgios is not only celebrating his girlfriend, Costeen Hatzi’s birthday but at the same time mourning the loss of his beloved grandmother. However, Hatzi’s sweet message to her boyfriend in return stole the hearts of fans.

Nick Kyrgios recently took to Instagram to express a heartfelt note on a “roller coaster” of emotions that he has had today. On the one hand, it marks the first death anniversary of his grandmother. But on the other hand, it is also the 24th birthday of his girlfriend, Costeen Hatzi. After reading the sweet yet stirring message of his boyfriend celebrating her birthday through the post, Costeen Hatz wrote, “🥺🥺 I love you. Yiayia is proud of you ❤️,” in the comments.

As Kyrgios stated in his post, Yiayia is his grandmother, from whom he aspires to be a better person himself. Honoring her through his post, Kyrgios sent his tribute to her generous spirit. “She was an incredible person and had a habit of making everyone feel included and made sure NO ONE ever went hungry, I try to be as generous as her with my care towards others.” He further stated, “I’m sure Yiayia would be proud of who I have become but also who I have decided to go through this life with ❤️ rest easy Yiayia.”

But coming from his past to the present, Nick Kyrgios further mentioned how “As one door closes another opens”. The Australian, who has been dating Hatzi since 2021, explained how she has helped him make sense of everything. “Today is also the birthday of my beautiful partner @costeenhatzi – who somehow, against all odds has made it all make sense to me 🙏🏽. Happy birthday beautiful.”

Hatzi’s support of Kyrgios throughout the last couple of years has indeed been remarkable. Whether it is supporting him on-court in Melbourne during the Australian Open or helping him battle through his wrist and knee injuries, Hatzi’s unwavering backing has been constant in his life. Therefore, when it came to celebrating her birthday, Kyrgios made sure to make it special. And through his girlfriend’s Instagram posts, we know that it indeed is!
