As Wimbledon 2025 unfolds, all eyes are not just on the matches but also on one of tennis’s most beloved power couples: Katie Boulter and Alex de Minaur.
Their relationship—a blend of fierce competitiveness and unwavering support—has become as compelling as their performances on the grass courts.
From a serendipitous coffee date to a glittering engagement, here’s an inside look at their journey, both on and off the court.
Katie and Alex’s romance started not on a tennis court but in a hotel lobby at 6 a.m. Boulter recalled their first encounter:
“I knew Alex to say hi to because we had mutual friends. He had a reputation as a good and humble person. Then one day, we bumped into each other at six in the morning and ended up getting a coffee. From that moment, I knew I was in it for the long haul.”
The couple, who began dating in March 2020, navigated early lockdowns via FaceTime, with de Minaur admitting,
“Her companionship was something I’d been looking for—it gave me a sense of peace”.
Five years later, their bond has only grown stronger, culminating in a December 2024 engagement announced via an Instagram selfie captioned,
Supporting Each Other’s Careers“We’ve been keeping a small secret…”.
Both ranked No. 1 in their respective countries (Boulter in Britain, de Minaur in Australia), the pair have become each other’s biggest cheerleaders. Boulter credits Alex for her resurgence after injuries and setbacks:
“He is the epitome of a fighter who goes out and gives their all every single day. That’s what I aspire to be like. He helps me push myself”
De Minaur, meanwhile, never misses a chance to celebrate Boulter’s wins. After her 2024 San Diego Open victory, he skipped his own celebratory party to catch her final, taking a 4:15 a.m. flight to be there. Boulter later joked,
“I really want to embarrass him!”.
Their dynamic extends to playful banter. In a recent Wimbledon promo, Alex teased,
“Ask her to list three favorite things about me—it’ll be her hardest challenge yet!”
Boulter responded,
Life Off the Court: Coffee, Cooking, and a Golden Retriever“He has the warmest heart… and gives me a chance to beat him at tennis!”.
Away from the spotlight, the couple prioritizes normalcy.
“We go out for dinners, coffees, and try to make life as normal as possible,”
de Minaur shared. During Wimbledon, they stay in their London home, where Boulter—the better cook—whips up meals while Alex jokes,
“I survive on plain pasta with olive oil”.
Their household also includes an adorable golden retriever, adopted in May 2025. Boulter, who calls Putney her “happy place,” balances tennis with downtime in London’s leafy suburbs.
Katie And De Minaur Wedding PlansWith a wedding planned for 2026, the couple has opted for a “neutral venue”—neither the UK nor Australia. De Minaur quipped,
“When I’m stressed on court, I’m just thinking about the wedding budget!”.
Boulter, who dreams of a “destination wedding in the middle of nowhere,” admits she’s “not a massive dreamer” about the details.
