After having a successful clay court swing where Coco Gauff reached the finals in Madrid and Rome, before clinching the big title at Roland Garros, she couldn’t find the same success on grass. Following her first-round exit at Wimbledon, she admitted she was “disappointed” and “struggling in the locker room“. However, having said that, Gauff also claimed that she’s not going to dwell on this too long because she wants to do well at the US Open. “Maybe losing in the first round here isn’t the worst thing in the world because I have time to reset.” How will she reset things now? Perhaps a fashion therapy after the Wimbledon setback!

Currently, Coco Gauff has taken some time off from tennis to recharge at home before the North American hard-court swing kicks in. Amid all these, the tennis star was spotted turning heads at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta with her stunning look. She ditched the tennis whites and opted for a next-level cowgirl ensemble that had fans doing a double-take. She effortlessly captivated attention in a stylish brown suede romper that exuded a bit of nostalgia, reminiscent of a vintage Western runway. Why did she wear this type of dress in particular? Well, both Gauff and her boyfriend recently attended Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter Tour!

The Tour is celebrating Beyonce’s 2024 album Cowboy Carter, a bold project that reclaims the Black origins of country music while wearing the elements of pop, soul, and rock. Just like Coco Gauff, even Sera, with whom she celebrated the 4th of July, matched the vibe of that event with a black T-shirt and beige colored trousers. He captioned that post with, “Yeeeehawwww💥💥💥💥.” Seeing this post, Gauff gushed at her boyfriend’s stunning look by dropping a comment, saying, “bang bang ❗️“.

In her own IG stories, she shared more glimpses of her Cowboy-styled look with the caption, “CC 🐴🤎🐝.” Jalen Sera had commented on this post, saying, “Bang!“. Not only him, though, even her peer, Taylor Townsend, dropped a comment saying, “Issa buss down cowgirl!! 😍🔥🤎.” 

On her Instagram stories, Gauff also shared how she was “literally shaking” after she got to pose with Beyonce’s mom Tina Knowles. And when Beyonce herself waved at her, boy, did she lose her mind. “beyonce waved at me during her show last night & I met the queen, Ms. Tina Knowles! I cannot believe my life, I am so grateful for it. Thank you to the both of them for a moment I will never forget !” Gauff posted on X.

Coco Gauff has always been a big fan of Beyonce. For instance, after her third-round win over Belgium’s Elise Bertens at the 2023 US Open, Gauff confessed how she was thinking about the pop icon’s Renaissance Tour, alongside Marvel and the Biebers. “Honestly, it keeps me relaxed. I don’t know if it’s a coping mechanism,” she explained.

Gauff is all set to return to competitive mode at the 2025 Canadian Open, which kicks starts from July 27 at the IGA Stadium in Montreal. So, with the hard-court season approaching, this night of music and celebration with her boyfriend Jalen Sera perhaps provided exactly the kind of recharge she needed. After all, be it in her highs or in her lows, Sera has been her constant companion in these last few years. 

Taking a look at Coco Gauff and Jalen Sera’s love story

A love story beyond the tennis court! Coco Gauff and Jalen Sera’s relationship first came to the limelight in 2023. But their connection goes way back to when Sera was a fourth grader in her mom’s classroom. During an interview with TIME in April 2024, Gauff revealed that her mom had always remembered Sera as a “smart, nice kid” and that what she has with Sera is her “first real relationship“. 

Talking about being one of her strongest pillars of support, Gauff once spoke about how he helped her calm down ahead of the 2023 US Open final by talking to her till she went to sleep. Safe to say the conversation was a pretty successful one considering the current World No. 2 went on to clinch her first Grand Slam title the next day.

The couple has mostly kept things low-key in terms of public visibility, despite showing their love and support for each other through social media comments. However, months after cryptic IG hints, Coco Gauff recently hard-launched her boyfriend during a promotional video shoot for BOSE. 

During that video shoot, Gauff was spotted listening to an audio clip from Sera in which he was heard calling her “coolest person ever” and also admitting how proud he is of her and how much he loves her. Hearing this, Coco Gauff replied, “That’s my boyfriend, and today’s actually our two-year anniversary, so that’s very nice. Oh, he didn’t tell me about that.” Share your thoughts on these two lovebirds in the comment box.
