On June 19, 2025, Alex de Minaur, world No. 12, provided an update on his wedding plans with fiancée Katie Boulter, Britain’s former No. 1, during an interview at the Queen’s Club Championships, per Daily Mail. The tennis power couple, engaged since December 23, 2024, after a five-year relationship, are eyeing 2026 for their nuptials, with de Minaur humorously calling wedding planning “the hardest job out there” and “way harder than playing tennis,” per @BBCSport. He admitted Boulter is leading the preparations, joking, “I would like to say I have some sort of say in it… that might not be 100%,” per The Playoffs.
Boulter, 28, who announced the engagement with a selfie showcasing her emerald-cut diamond ring, remains relaxed about the plans, stating, “I’ve not been a massive dreamer about my wedding. As long as my family is there, I’ll be happy,” per The Playoffs. The couple, who met by chance at a hotel in 2020, have faced challenges like online abuse from gamblers, with de Minaur supporting Boulter’s call for accountability, per Daily Mail. Despite a tough 2025 grasscourt season—de Minaur lost to Jiri Lehecka at Queen’s, and Boulter fell to Emma Raducanu at Nottingham—they continue to prioritize their careers, with Wimbledon looming, per Tennis.com. Their playful banter, like de Minaur’s quip about the “wedding budget” after a $200,000 Eisenhower Cup loss, keeps fans engaged, per EssentiallySports.
