“I cannot believe my life” – Coco Gauff overcome with joy after special interaction with Beyoncé at Atlanta concert with boyfriend Jalen Sera
Coco Gauff, the world No. 2 and recent French Open 2025 champion, expressed sheer exhilaration after a memorable encounter with Beyoncé during the pop icon’s Cowboy Carter Tour stop in Atlanta on July 14, 2025. The 21-year-old American tennis star attended the concert alongside her boyfriend, Jalen Sera, and took to social media to share her disbelief and gratitude. Posting on X, Gauff wrote, “beyonce waved at me during her show last night & I met the queen, Ms. Tina Knowles! I cannot believe my life, I am so grateful for it. Thank you to the both of them for a moment I will never forget!” The interaction capped a night of celebration, with Gauff and Sera fully embracing the Western-themed event, dressing in cowboy-inspired attire and sharing Instagram Stories of their experience.
The moment came after Gauff’s early Wimbledon exit to Dayana Yastremska, offering a much-needed uplift following her Roland Garros triumph. A long-time Beyoncé fan, Gauff has often cited the singer as an inspiration, notably celebrating her 32nd Grammy win earlier this year. The Atlanta show, part of Beyoncé’s tour supporting her 2024 album *Cowboy Carter*, featured a dazzling performance with a star-shaped stage and mechanical bulls, providing the perfect backdrop for Gauff’s starstruck reaction. Meeting Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother, added to the surreal experience, which Gauff shared with Sera, her partner since 2023. The couple’s public outing highlighted their bond, with Sera’s supportive presence mirroring his role during Gauff’s US Open 2023 win, where late-night talks eased her nerves.
This joyful interlude offers Gauff a recharge before the hard-court season, blending her tennis success with a personal milestone that left her overwhelmed with joy.
