During a round in the reality show, El Desafio, Juan Betancourt had the challenge to hit the target while hanging upside down. Further, to the surprise of many, he hit the bullseye in this difficult position. Moreover, talking about his experience, he said, “I don’t even see the arrows. They want to keep me hanging all the time.” (Translated using Google Translate)

Recently, during an on-court interview, Badosa joked about awaiting a proposal from Juan Betancourt for their engagement. Later, she clarified, “I was just joking! Right now, I have too many things to think about. I had a text from him, and he was, like, ‘You put so much pressure on me! Now I don’t have any other option!’ Maybe in the future. I’m still young. First, I want to focus on tennis.”
