Less than a month ago, Ukrainian star Elina Svitolina accepted Frenchman Gael Monfils’ proposal for marriage. Currently, she is playing at the 2021 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, where she also revealed her engagement story.

Elina and Gael started dating in 2018 and instantly become one of the favorite couples of the fans. They even opened a joint account on Instagram called G.E.M.S life (initials of their name: Gael-Elina-Monfils-Svitolina).

Surprisingly, the duo had called off their relationship post the 2021 Australian Open. However, things turned out well as they are now a soon-to-be-married couple.
