All you need to know about the relationship status of the World No. 1
Belarusian superstar Aryna Sabalenka doesn’t just win titles, but wears her heart on her sleeve. In 2024, she won her 3rd Grand Slam title at the 2024 US Open and ended the season as WTA No. 1, all while carrying the weight of personal heartbreak and public pressure. Now to end 2025, the 27-year-old captured her fourth major at the US Open.
From press conferences to matches, Sabalenka has shown an indomitable spirit and surprising grace. While her performance says everything about her larger than life personality, her off-court moments captured the strength of a supportive partner. Through Sabalenka’s entire journey since last year, a certain person stood by her side like a rock – cheering, comforting, and capturing it all like a proud partner. So, who is he?
Aryna Sabalenka’s boyfriend is Georgios Frangulis, a Brazilian-Greek entrepreneur. Their relationship began in early 2024, shortly after the Belarusian partnered with Frangulis’ brand Oakberry as their ambassador. The couple made their first public appearance at the Mutua Madrid Open in April 2024. Since then, Frangulis has been a constant presence in her player’s box, including Sabalenka’s victories at the Cincinnati Masters and the US Open in 2024.
The WTA No. 1 and Frangulis’ equation goes beyond court-side support. Reflecting on that, the double defending US Open champion said, “There was a really tough period where I was really happy to have him by my side, always cheering me up, always making sure that we are doing some fun stuff. But I make sure I kind of forget about tennis and focus on the good things and enjoy my life. Even when things are going wrong in my career. So yeah, he was my biggest support, and yeah, really happy to have him by my side.“

Sabalenka’s boyfriend, Georgios Frangulis, is the founder of Oakberry, a global acai-based superfood brand launched in 2016. Headquartered in Brazil’s São Paulo, Oakberry now has hundreds of locations across more than 35 countries. Frangulis began his career with a law degree but became an entrepreneur, driven by a desire to build something impactful. In 2016, the same year he underwent surgery for thyroid cancer, he also opened Oakberry’s first store, proving his determination.
Beyond entrepreneurship, he is a motorsports enthusiast and competed in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge. Now, Sabalenka also attends F1 races with her boyfriend, making her first appearance at the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix season finale and the next in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in May.
Their relationship began through professional collaboration. In January 2024, Sabalenka signed a partnership deal with Oakberry. The collaboration was part of Oakberry’s growing involvement in sports sponsorships, and Sabalenka became one of the brand’s highest-profile ambassadors. It is widely believed that their first meeting occurred during the initiation of this sponsorship deal. Within a few months, the two had entered a romantic relationship.

Aryna Sabalenka’s 2024 was full of ups and downs, but having Georgios Frangulis by her side made all the difference. Through tough times and personal loss, his support kept her grounded and helped her find joy beyond tennis.
While she couldn’t secure the last laugh tonight, she broke down in tears after a heartbreaking loss to Coco Gauff in the French Open 2025 final. Yet in that moment of heartbreak, Frangulis was right there in the stands as her steady anchor when everything else felt unsteady. A few months later, she thanked him for all the support yet again after defeating Amanda Anisimova to emerge as the queen of Flushing Meadows.
