Tennis champ Aryna Sabalenka knows a thing or two about love with boyfriend Georgios Frangulis by her side.
“His support means so much to me,” Sabalenka exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2025. “Being on the road and having him support me, to make me laugh and to be able to work out together, makes life on the road feel more like home.”
Frangulis frequently cheers on Sabalenka at many of her international tennis matches, including the US Open and Wimbledon.
“Traveling is hard on most people, athletes or not,” she added to Us. “The time changes, the changes in eating habits and lack of hydration makes feeling your best difficult. As an athlete, this is even more important as our performance needs to be at its best and we travel often.”
