Alex de Minaur gives Katie Boulter wedding update – as Australia star reveals when the tennis power couple plan to tie the knot
Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter’s Wedding Plans: A 2026 Affair
Alex de Minaur has provided an update on his wedding plans with fiancée Katie Boulter, confirming the tennis power couple aim to tie the knot in **2026**. The Australian star, ranked world No. 11, shared the timeline during a recent interview, noting that planning has been “way harder than playing tennis,” with Boulter taking the lead on arrangements. While no exact date has been set, hints point to a “neutral venue” abroad, possibly in Tuscany, Italy, based on Boulter’s recent social media posts featuring rustic Mediterranean settings like olive trees and stone walls.
The Engagement and Relationship Timeline
De Minaur and Boulter, who have been dating since March 2020 after meeting at a hotel during the pandemic, announced their engagement on December 23, 2024, with a stunning emerald-cut diamond ring. They went Instagram official in March 2021 and have since supported each other’s careers, including mixed doubles at Wimbledon 2023. De Minaur has called Boulter his “happy place,” crediting her for helping him focus on the joy of tennis.
In June 2025, De Minaur joked about the wedding budget during the Australian Open, saying his on-court stress was partly about funding the big day. Boulter has echoed the challenges, describing planning as tougher than their professional lives.
Potential Venue and Date Hints
Boulter’s July 2025 Instagram post from a countryside getaway—with rustic stone walls, olive trees, and tiled roofs—suggested a Mediterranean location like Tuscany, Italy, as the venue. She captioned it “2026 🔗🤫🥀🤭,” hinting at next year without specifics. De Minaur confirmed Boulter’s lead on logistics, adding that tennis’s nomadic lifestyle makes planning “the hardest job out there.”
The couple, who bought a house near Wimbledon in 2023, balance their roots—de Minaur in Sydney and Alicante, Boulter in Leicestershire—with frequent visits to each other’s families. A neutral, international venue fits their global lifestyle.
Fan and Peer Reactions
The update thrilled fans, with social media posts like “Power couple goals—2026 wedding when?!” generating buzz. Fellow pros like Paula Badosa and Madison Keys, who know the challenges of tennis relationships, offered congratulations upon the engagement. Thanasi Kokkinakis quipped, “It’s about damn time.”
As de Minaur prepares for the Shanghai Masters and Boulter eyes the WTA Finals, their 2026 nuptials promise a fairy-tale chapter for tennis’s beloved couple.
