Jannik Sinner’s ex-girlfriend Maria clears the air on their relationship after sparking reunion speculation with Rome snaps
Jannik Sinner’s ex-girlfriend, Italian model Maria Braccini, recently addressed rumors of a potential reunion with the world No. 1 tennis star after her Instagram posts from Rome sparked speculation during the 2025 Italian Open. Braccini, who dated Sinner from 2020 until their breakup in early 2024, shared photos capturing her time in the city, coinciding with Sinner’s campaign at the tournament, where he reached the final but lost to Carlos Alcaraz 7-6(5), 6-1 on May 17, 2025. Fans speculated that her presence in Rome signaled a rekindled romance, especially after Sinner’s confirmed split from fellow tennis player Anna Kalinskaya in late 2024.
Braccini swiftly clarified the situation in a comment on her Instagram post, stating, “No. No return, no boyfriend!” as reported by Sportskeeda. This response shut down rumors of a reunion, emphasizing that her trip to Rome was unrelated to Sinner’s participation. The couple, known for keeping their relationship private during their four-year romance, had briefly split in November 2021 before reconciling, only to part ways permanently in March 2024, shortly before Sinner began dating Kalinskaya. Braccini’s emotional post in July 2024, thanking fans for support post-breakup, hinted at the challenges she faced, with phrases like “for every door that closes, another one opens.”
Sinner, who also faced rumors of a romance with Russian model Lara Leito during his three-month doping suspension in 2024, clarified at the Italian Open that he is currently single, stating, “I’m not in a relationship, so for whoever is asking, it’s all good.” His focus remains on tennis, particularly the 2025 French Open, where he aims to claim his first Roland Garros title. Posts on X, such as @zazoomblog’s “Maria Braccini chiude con Jannik Sinner: Nessun fidanzato, nessun ritorno,” echoed her firm denial, redirecting attention to Sinner’s on-court ambitions rather than off-court drama.
