Coco Gauff opened up about how Jalen Sera helps her in processing losses

Coco Gauff sat for an interview with E! News in August 2025, where she discussed how her boyfriend, Jalen Sera, cheers her up and provides her emotional support after she loses a match. Revealing that he is the only one who can lift up her mood after a loss, she said:

"Honestly after a good match, I just talk to my boyfriend, my friends, everyone cause I’m in a good mood. When I lose, I would say just my boyfriend ’cause he is the only one that can take me and my mood after a loss. He’s always telling me to trust the process," said Coco Gauff.

She added:

"Just know that I’ve already accomplished a lot, and there’s no need to be so negative. That’s kind of what my whole team, my parents, everybody says. I’m someone that can criticize myself a lot, so I just try to make sure that I stay positive."

Coco Gauff and her boyfriend were recently ambushed by paparazzi while they were leaving their hotel in New York following the player's US Open loss. The two-time Grand Slam winner confirmed her relationship with Sera in June 2025 during a promotional shoot for Bose.
