British tennis star Katie Boulter has sparked excitement among fans by sharing cryptic wedding news alongside her fiancé, Australian tennis ace Alex de Minaur. The couple, who announced their engagement in December 2024, appears to be inching closer to their big day, with Boulter posting a series of Instagram photos from a picturesque, rustic countryside setting—speculated to be their wedding venue. The images, shared on July 16, 2025, captured the couple beaming with happiness, fueling speculation about their nuptial plans. Boulter’s caption included a tantalizing hint, “2026 🔗🤫🥀🤭,” suggesting the wedding is slated for next year, with de Minaur responding enthusiastically, amplifying the buzz.[]
The tennis power couple, together since March 2020 after a chance meeting over coffee at a hotel during the early COVID era, has become a fan favorite for their mutual support on and off the court. Boulter, 28, and de Minaur, 26, have navigated the highs and lows of professional tennis together, with Boulter cheering de Minaur from the stands during his fourth-round Wimbledon 2025 loss to Novak Djokovic, and de Minaur celebrating Boulter’s first-round upset over Paula Badosa. Their relationship, often highlighted by heartfelt gestures—like de Minaur’s 2022 Wimbledon shout-out to Boulter after her win over Karolina Pliskova—has endeared them to fans.
While the exact location remains undisclosed, their recent romantic getaway in Florence, Italy, has led to speculation that Tuscany could be the wedding destination. Boulter, now world No. 41, and de Minaur, No. 12, have hinted at the challenges of planning a wedding amidst their demanding schedules, with de Minaur jokingly telling *Eurosport* that he’s stressed about the wedding budget, saying, “I need to win more matches.” In a *Daily Mail* interview, he admitted Boulter has taken the lead on planning, describing it as “way harder than playing tennis.” The couple, who share a home near Wimbledon, have given themselves until 2026 to balance their careers and wedding preparations.
Boulter’s cryptic post follows a challenging Wimbledon 2025, where she fell in the second round to Solana Sierra, while de Minaur reached the fourth round before exiting to Djokovic. Despite setbacks, their bond remains a source of strength, with de Minaur noting to *ATP Tour* that they prioritize tennis while making their relationship work through mutual support. As they prepare for the Canadian Open and US Open, fans are eagerly awaiting more details on what promises to be a star-studded tennis wedding.[]
