Australian tennis star Alex de Minaur has offered an honest update about who is in charge of wedding preparations as he and Katie Boulter prepare to tie the knot.
The pair, who have been dating since March 2020, announced their engagement in December ahead of the Australian Open.
De Minaur and Boutler had shared a selfie of themselves on social media to confirm the news, with the British star sporting a stunning engagement ring in the picture.
The Australian, the world No12, was asked by the BBC about preparations for the wedding at Queen’s as he builds towards Wimbledon next month.
De Minaur appeared to admit that Boulter had taken a lead on wedding plans, before revealing when they are planning to tie the knot.
‘That’s the hardest job out there,’ De Minaur said when asked how wedding planning was going.
Way harder than playing tennis at the moment.
‘I would like to say I have some sort of say in it, at least I think I do, that might not be 100%
‘I do think we are probably looking at next year, that’s the plan.’
De Minaur had joked at the Australian Open in Janaury about how he needed to win more matches to help fund their wedding.
‘When I’m on the court, and you see me so stressed out, I’m just thinking of the wedding budget,’ he quipped on court.
‘That’s why I’m like, ‘I need to win more money, I need to win more matches.
‘That’s all that goes through my head. So now, you know what’s going on inside my head.’
Having initially met on the professional tennis circuit, the pair had bumped into each other while out for a 6am coffee. It was here that their relationship blossomed and Boulter admitted that was when she knew he was the one.
