Aryna Sabalenka is heading into Indian Wells with a brand-new title — fiancée.
The WTA world No. 1 player announced that her boyfriend, Brazilian businessman Georgios Frangulis, popped the question on Tuesday … sharing a video of the moment on Instagram with the caption “You & me, forever” alongside a ring and heart emoji.

The footage shows Frangulis getting down on one knee and presenting the 27-year-old Belarusian with a sparkling diamond — and judging by the video, the tennis star didn’t see it coming.
Sabalenka was dressed casually in jeans and a T-shirt for the moment … a surprise proposal for the Gucci ambassador, who’s usually seen in far more glam looks.
The engagement news quickly spread through the tennis world — with stars like Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Ben Shelton and Amanda Anisimova flooding the comments with congratulatory messages.
The happy milestone comes after a difficult stretch in Sabalenka’s personal life. Her former boyfriend, ex-NHL player Konstantin Koltsov, died by suicide in March 2024 — a tragedy that rocked the tennis star during the early part of that season.
Now, Sabalenka appears to be entering a brighter chapter as she arrives at the Indian Wells Open, her first tournament since reaching the final of the Australian Open earlier this year.
It’s been a busy stretch for the world No. 1 … she introduced fans on Monday to her new puppy, Ash — and now she’s gained a fiancé as well.
On the tennis side, Sabalenka has a first-round bye and will face the winner of Alycia Parks vs. Himeno Sakatsume later this week.
