Australian tennis star Alex de Minaur recently wished his girlfriend and British tennis player Katie Boulter a happy birthday.
De Minaur and Boulter are both professional tennis players who have been supporting each other on and off the court. They made their relationship public in 2021 and have been posting images with each other on social media.
They recently celebrated their three-year anniversary in March with a candle-lit dinner and a decorated tree.
On Tuesday, August 1, De Minaur posted a picture of Boulter at sunset on Instagram.
“Happy birthday to this beauty @katieboulter,” De Minaur wrote on Instagram.
The Aussie recently showered praise on Boulter after she claimed her maiden WTA trophy at the 2023 Rothesay Open in Nottingham. She did not lose a single set in the tournament and beat her compatriot Jodie Burrage 6-3, 6-3 in the final.
This was the first time since 1977 that two British women faced each other in a WTA final. Back then, Sue Barker defeated Virginia Wade in San Francisco.
De Minaur congratulated her on social media by posting a photo of her on his Instagram story on June 18.
“You’re my idol,” De Minaur wrote on Instagram.
