Aryna Sabalenka has found her Ken, making it a real-life Barbie dream! Despite a tragic conclusion to her Italian Open campaign in her favorite city, Rome, she is lucky when it comes to love. She engaged herself in the fast-paced drama of the Imola Grand Prix before heading out for the French Open, where she made her relationship with boyfriend Georgios Frangulis official.

The 26-year-old tennis player shared an Instagram story with a photo of Frangulis, CEO of Oakberry and a Haas F1 sponsor. She is seen posing alongside Frangulis in the post, and they are both grinning broadly. Apparently, that picture confirmed the relationship, as both of them were spotted with each other several times in the past few months.

Not only that, even a few months ago during the Madrid Open pre-tournament, Georgios Frangulis accompanied the two-time Grand Slam champion and gave fans a reason to speculate about their relationship. But now, the Belarusian tennis pro has shared a picture of himself standing alongside the CEO of Oakberry, confirming our relationship with him.

On the other hand, Frangulis was in the audience, supporting the world number 2 even during her final match at the Italian Open. He cheered her up by taking her to a dinner party after her disappointing loss. A few hours later, before the Formula 1 race’s commencement, the two-time Grand Slam champion expressed her support for Frangulis.

Additionally, Sabalenka shared a video that was uploaded to the F1 official Instagram account, in which she was seen having a good time with her lover while they candidly posed for photos. Adding to the excitement, she tagged Frangulis in the post and captioned the picture with a heart-shaped hand emoji, sparking intrigue among her fans.

A few months prior, Koltsov tragically died on Monday in Miami, Florida, just days before world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka was scheduled to open the Miami Open. According to Miami-Dade Police, there is no suspicion of foul play in the death, which appears to have been a suicide.
