Grigor Dimitrov spotted vacationing with girlfriend and actress Madalina Ghenea in Italy ahead of return at Citi Open

Grigor Dimitrov was recently spotted on a vacation with girlfriend Madalina Ghenea in Italy ahead of his tournament return at the 2023 Mubadala Citi DC Open in Washington.

Dimitrov was last seen in action at the Wimbledon Championships. A semifinalist in 2014, the Bulgarian managed a fourth-round appearance this year, where he crashed out against Holger Rune after a four-sets battle 3-6, 7-6(6), 7-6(4), 6-3.

The 2017 Cincinnati Masters champion then spent his off days with his girlfriend, Romanian actress and model Madalina Ghenea, before the North American hardcourt campaign. The pair was recently spotted enjoying a PDA-filled day in Italy, where the ‘House of Gucci’ star lives.

Grigor Dimitrov and Madalina Ghenea were also captured together at Hotel Santa Venere in Marateea, Italy, where the couple graced the red carpet during the Marateale Festival. The tennis player cheered for the Romanian actress after she was presented with an award at the event.

Dimitrov, who has previously dated other famous names such as Maria Sharapova and Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger, has been in a relationship with Ghenea since earlier this year. The Romanian has previously dated the likes of Leonard DiCaprio, Gerard Butler and Michael Fassbender. She also has a six-year-old daughter with Romanian millionaire Matei Stratan.

Dimitrov and Ghenea were first publicly spotted together at the Madrid Open, when the actress attended the Bulgarian’s third-round match against Carlos Alcaraz.

Ever since, the pair hasn’t shied away from expressing their love and admiration for each other. During the former World No. 3’s run to the final at the Geneva Open, Madalina Ghenea made several dedicated social media posts praising the eventual runner-up.

The Romanian was also spotted cheering for Grigor Dimitrov during his French Open campaign. Ghenea was most recently seen in Dimitrov’s player's box at the Wimbledon Championships as well.
