Canadian tennis sensation Felix Auger-Aliassime, the 25-year-old world No. 6 fresh off a semifinal run at the 2025 US Open (where he fell to Jannik Sinner in a five-set thriller), has traded baseline battles for bridal bliss. On September 20, 2025, he married longtime love Nina Ghaibi, a 25-year-old Moroccan equestrian and influencer, in an intimate ceremony at the opulent Selman Marrakech hotel. The couple, who met in March 2019 during one of Felix’s tournaments and got engaged in the Seychelles in November 2024, shared the first glimpses of their nuptials via Instagram on September 24—prompting a flood of heart emojis from fans and fellow pros. Captioned simply “Mrs. Auger-Aliassime ❤️,” Felix’s carousel post racked up 1.2 million likes in 24 hours, showcasing a blend of cultural elegance, floral fantasy, and pure romance that has the tennis world swooning.
The Ceremony: A Love Story Woven in Moroccan Splendor
The two-day affair, planned over 10 months with Nina at the helm (“She did everything—I’m just along for the ride,” Felix quipped pre-US Open), honored their roots: Felix’s Canadian poise meets Nina’s Moroccan heritage. Held amid the Atlas Mountains’ glow, the event featured lush gardens, intricate zellige tiles, and a sunset vow exchange under olive trees. About 150 guests, including Canadian compatriots Vasek Pospisil and Gabriel Diallo (who shared altar clips on Stories), toasted the pair with mint tea and live oud music. Felix, in a crisp white tuxedo by Lebanese designer Nicolas Khabbaz, called it “the calm after the storm” post-Flushing Meadows. “Tennis is chaos; this is peace,” he told Vogue.
The Stunning Images: Highlights from the Newlyweds’ Feed
Felix’s post, amplified by Nina’s (@ninaaliassime) and friends’ shares, drips with effortless glamour. Here’s a peek at the visuals that lit up socials:
– **The Kiss That Sealed It**: A black-and-white shot of the duo locking lips post-vows, Nina radiant in a custom Vera Wang gown (a bespoke twist on her first try-on, with off-shoulder silk and subtle embroidery) over a traditional Moroccan kaftan. Felix’s arm around her waist, against a backdrop of cascading white florals—pure cinematic romance.
– **Floral Fantasy Entrance**: Nina gliding down an aisle lined with thousands of roses and jasmine arches, her gown’s train sweeping the marble floors. The Selman’s Moorish pools reflect candlelight, with Felix beaming from the altar in a moment that screams “happily ever after.”
– **Cultural Fusion Glow**: A colorful afterparty snap shows the bride in a vibrant Lebanese-imported gown (by designers like Ezra), dancing with her sister Cilia amid henna patterns and tagine feasts. Felix, now in a linen shirt, joins for a twirl—echoing their low-key proposal vibe.
– **Intimate Family Moments**: Candid frames of the couple with Nina’s family (her equestrian roots shine in horse-themed table favors) and Felix’s parents, plus a sunset portrait framed by the hotel’s iconic peacocks. One tender close-up: Their hands intertwined, rings glinting—his a sleek platinum band, hers stacking her engagement sparkler.
These aren’t just pretty pics; they’re a testament to the couple’s six-year journey, from Felix’s early ATP days to Olympic bronze (Paris 2024 doubles) and Nina’s support through his injury slumps. “She’s my anchor,” he shared in a People exclusive, crediting her for the “stress-free” planning despite his US Open grind.
Tennis Royalty Reacts: Cheers from the Court
The tennis circuit turned up the love online, turning the wedding into a virtual afterparty:
– **Coco Gauff**: “Obsessed with this love! Congrats you two 🥂❤️” on Felix’s post.
– **Alexander Zverev** (Maria Sharapova’s fiancé): “Beautiful day for beautiful people. Here’s to forever! 🎾💍”
– **Dennis Shapovalov**: “Bro, you did it! Epic weekend—can’t wait for the doubles rematch 😏”
– **Victoria Mboko** (fellow Canadian rising star): “Queen Nina + King Felix = Royalty. Morocco magic ✨”
Pospisil’s Stories clip of the altar cheers went viral, with fans dubbing it “the feel-good follow-up to US Open heartbreak.” Even non-attendees like Naomi Osaka dropped fire emojis, celebrating the duo’s stability amid tour turbulence.
A New Chapter Post-Honeymoon
With the honeymoon underway (rumors point to the Maldives), Felix skips the China Open to recharge, eyeing a strong Asian swing finale in Shanghai. His 2025 resurgence—titles in Montpellier and Stuttgart, plus that US Open semi—feels amplified by this milestone. As he posted: “From courts to forever—couldn’t have scripted it better.” For fans, these images aren’t just stunning; they’re a reminder that even aces need an off-court love match. Congrats, Mr. and Mrs. Auger-Aliassime—may your serves (and dances) always land perfectly. 💕
