Tennis star Aryna Sabalenka engaged to partner Georgios Frangulis, who is allegedly still married

World No. 1 tennis star Aryna Sabalenka has taken a major step in her personal life, announcing she is engaged to long-time partner Georgios Frangulis, sharing the news with fans on social media. Sabalenka posted a video of the proposal on Instagram, captioning it “You & me, forever 3.3.26” and showing the moment her fiancé bent down on one knee in a romantic, candlelit setting.

The couple, who first went public with their relationship in 2024, confirmed the engagement just as Sabalenka prepares to return to competitive action at the WTA 1000 Indian Wells tournament in California. In an Instagram Story accompanying the announcement, Sabalenka showed off her sizable diamond ring and wrote, “Well I obviously had no idea this was happening tonight,” indicating the surprise of the proposal.

Frangulis, a Brazilian entrepreneur who co-founded the health-food brand OakBerry and has frequently been seen supporting Sabalenka at tournaments, has been a consistent presence in her life both on and off the court. Sabalenka had playfully hinted at taking their relationship to the next level earlier this year after winning the Brisbane International, joking in an interview that she hoped to “call [him] something else” soon.

The engagement was met with congratulations from the tennis world and beyond, with fellow players and fans sending well wishes following the announcements. Sabalenka’s focus now returns to her tennis schedule, but the personal milestone adds a celebratory note as she heads into one of the sport’s biggest early-season events.
