Emma Raducanu’s former long-term boyfriend, Carlo Agostinelli, has lost his mother, Mathilde Favier, in a car accident in France. Social media has since been flooded with tributes and memories of the influential fashion executive, with Raducanu also sharing a brief but heartfelt message.
Favier, a Parisian and prominent figure in the fashion and luxury industries, was best known for her role as Dior Couture’s public relations director. The 57-year-old played an important part in shaping the French fashion house’s public image and managing its relationships with celebrities, influencers, and the media.

Favier died alongside French film producer Nicolas Altmayer, 61, in the tragic accident.
Raducanu was among the many public figures who knew Favier and paid tribute to her following the news of her death. The British tennis star shared Dior’s announcement on her Instagram Story, adding a white heart and dove emojis.
Agostinelli was Raducanu’s first publicly known boyfriend following her rise to global fame. The pair are believed to have started dating in May 2023, after they were spotted together in Mexico City. Their relationship became public over the summer of that year, although they generally kept their romance away from the spotlight. Their breakup became known in 2024.
Raducanu has since moved on. In June 2026, she was photographed with her new boyfriend during a visit to a London park. (via Tennis World USA)
