The spotlight is shining on a brand new high-profile tennis couple! Say hello to Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas, the dynamic duo who are taking both the tennis world and the romance world by storm. From rumors and denials to a whirlwind of selfies, this love story has all the makings of a Grand Slam!
Just a little over a month ago, eagle-eyed spectators at the Mutua Madrid Open noticed something fishy. Paula Badosa’s long-time boyfriend, the handsome model Juan Betancourt, was nowhere to be seen in the stands. Cue the rumor mill! Speculation quickly spread like wildfire, suggesting that there might be trouble in paradise for the stunning couple. But wait, hold your racquets! Badosa swiftly denied the breakup whispers, and their Instagram accounts were still filled with cozy couple photos. Hmm, things seemed a tad suspicious.
Life has a funny way of serving up surprises, and this story is no exception. Despite Badosa’s initial denial, it turns out that her relationship with the Cuban model had indeed come to an end. But hey, love didn’t let Badosa sit on the sidelines for too long! The former WTA world No.2 wasted no time in flipping the script and writing a whole new chapter in her love life, and guess who co-stars alongside her? The ATP world No.5 Stefanos Tsitsipas!
