Coco Gauff Reacts as Boyfriend Jalen Sera Faces Tragic Family Loss

It’s been only three days since Coco Gauff was left long-faced following her loss to Naomi Osaka at the 2025 US Open. “After the match I was really disappointed. Kind of broke down to my team,” the 21-year-old American star admitted after her Flushing Meadows heartbreak. But even before she got the chance to recuperate, Gauff has been handed yet another blow to her gut. This time, far away from the tennis court.

Coco has been in a relationship with musician and actor Jalen Sera since 2023. The couple has kept the fans going “aww,” with their lovey-dovey romance. However, in a post on Instagram from September 4, Sera shared how he suffered a tragic personal loss recently. “RIP Granddaddy…see you on the other side, and be cool,” Gauff’s beau wrote in his IG post, sharing a number of snaps of himself, his late grandfather, and other family members.

Naturally, Coco had to make sure Jalen wasn’t left alone in these troubled times. In the comment section of Sera’s post, Gauff came forward with her support, not with words, but with three heart emojis, underscoring how she will be sure to keep her hand on her boyfriend’s shoulder so he doesn’t have to face the ordeal alone. Gauff’s mother, Candi, also commented with a couple of praying emojis under Jalen’s post.
