Auger-Aliassime and Ghaib first met in 2019, when the former was in the midst of a tournament. The couple began dating soon after but went public with their relationship only in 2021. Since making their romance official, the duo have been each other's biggest supporters, with Ghaib often accompanying the Canadian to competitions.

Recently, in an interview with Vogue, Felix Auger-Aliassime opened up about his first date with Nina Ghaib, calling it ‘love at first sight.’

“Without sounding cliche, it was truly love at first sight. After two hours, I told her this was the start of a long and beautiful future together, and within days, we both knew that we wanted to marry. I think that sums up our relationship quite well: never a sliver of doubt, instant comfortability, a young and innocent honesty, and love that never stopped growing from the moment we laid eyes on each other,” he said.

He went on to add that his proposal to Ghaib included a handwritten letter that he'd penned down all the way back in 2019, explaining,

“While relaxing outside on our balcony together, I asked her to grab my notebook from inside our room. What was supposed to be my notebook was actually a letter from me to her. A letter that dated back to May 5, 2019, written a month and a half after our very first meeting. It was a letter that I had kept through all of the years to one day show her just how confident I was that we’d still be together years later.”
