Meet Coco Gauff's boyfriend Jalen Sera, the Atlanta-based musician who is dating the American No. 1

Coco Gauff has been the face of American tennis for the past few years. Naturally, as the nation’s No.1 player, her personal life has drawn considerable attention. Fans are particularly curious about Gauff’s love life, overanalysing every move that she makes off the court to gain clues about her boyfriend. However, these speculations can finally come to an end.

In a recent promotional video for Bose, Gauff participated in a fun segment called “What’s That Sound?”, where she was required to identify various audio clips. After hearing a heartfelt message from her parents, the final surprise came in the form of a voice note from her boyfriend, Jalen Sera.

"Just wanted to say you're the absolute coolest person ever. I'm so proud of you. You're doing great, and I love you." (timestamp 2:19 onwards)

Recognising the voice instantly, Gauff lit up with joy as she confirmed their relationship status.

"That's my boyfriend, and today's actually our two-year anniversary. So, that's very nice. Aww, he didn't tell me about that."

Jalen Sera is an Atlanta-based musician, born on April 26, 2002, in Durham, North Carolina. According to his IMDb profile, Sera has appeared in a mini-series titled Honest T and has acted in multiple short films, including Telensia, City of AI and Troll.

Despite having little online presence with just over 9,000 followers on Instagram, the 23-year-old hasn’t shied away from being a supportive partner. After Coco Gauff’s 6-7, 6-2, 6-4 victory over World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in the French Open 2025 final, Sera expressed his emotions by resharing Roland Garros’ post on his Instagram Story.

Coco Gauff often gave hints about Jalen Sera being her boyfriend

Although Coco Gauff never confirmed who her boyfriend was, she kept fans guessing by occasionally dropping hints. Over time, she teased her fans with bits of information.

In a 2024 interview with Vogue, Gauff shared a more personal detail, revealing that her partner was a guitarist from Atlanta.

“He’s a very nice guy. He’s in school now. He’s about to apply for music school. He wants to be an actor and he plays the guitar. He’s not from Delray. He’s actually from Atlanta,” Gauff said.

Following the end of the 2024 season, she gave fans a glimpse into her relationship by “soft launching” her boyfriend. In a photo carousel from a trip to Atlanta, the final image featured a mirror selfie with her unidentified boyfriend.

Now that Coco Gauff has confirmed Jalen Sera as her boyfriend, fans can expect to see him more frequently in her player box, particularly during the “American Swing”.
