British tennis player Katie Boulter is a force to be reckoned with! The 27-year-old tennis ace, who broke into the top 100 back in April 2019, is the current UK number one after winning key tournaments in 2023 and 2024.
All eyes will be on the rising sports star once again this summer as she continues her Wimbledon campaign. Following Katie’s progression to the second round, join HELLO! as we take a closer look at her private life away from the spotlight, delving into her family and her Australian boyfriend, Alex de Minaur.
Her boyfriend Alex
Whilst Leicester-born Katie and her boyfriend have been together since 2020, they didn’t go public with their romance until March 2021. After crossing paths on the tennis court, Alex asked Katie out for a coffee date – and as they say, the rest is history.

To have that kind of connection where they know what you’re going through, they know the lows and highs, it does feel very comforting. I’m lucky to have him.”
