Katie Boulter has announced her engagement to fellow tennis star Alex de Minaur.
The pair have been together for almost five years, evem playing mixed doubles together at Wimbledon.
Ahead of their showdown at the United Cup later this month, Boulter took to Instagram to show off her new ring.
Boulter and De Minaur announced the news on Monday morning, sharing a joint Instagram post. The duo posed together in a smiling selfie, as the British tennis star draped her arm around her partner to show off the ring on her finger.
“We’ve been keeping a small secret…” she wrote in the caption.
Their colleagues and rivals flooded the comments with well-wishes. “About damn time,” Thanasi Kokkinakis joked, as Paula Badosa congratulated the pair.
Boulter’s Billie Jean King Cup captain Anne Keothavong wrote: “Whoop! Whoop!!” German tennis ace Eva Lys admitted she was “tearing up” at the announcement.
The British No. 1 teased their engagement last week with another Instagram post. She shared a photo sitting in front of the sea in Alicante as the sun set and wrote: “Today was a good day”.
It appeared to be the same backdrop as their engagement selfie.
