Her(Katie Boulter) companionship was something I’d been looking for: it gave me a sense of peace.” Alex de Minaur has time and again expressed his endless love for WTA pro Katie Boulter, who’s now engaged to him. The power couple announced the big news last December during the off-season. Remember that small message from Boulter on IG? “We’ve been keeping a small secret… 🤭,” she wrote while flaunting a special gift given by the World No.8 ATP star. Guess what? The British WTA pro decided to sport the precious gift once again, but this time in style. And what could be a better occasion than WTA’s latest rebrand campaign?
On Thursday, the governing body opted to revolutionize its famous purple logo with a green one. The massive change comes four years after WTA introduced the purple logo in December 2020 with a tagline ‘For the Game’. This time, it’s ‘Rally the World’. To celebrate the moment, the agency shared various clips featuring top female tennis stars, like Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Ons Jabeur, Elena Rybakina, from across the globe. And the British pro Katie Boulter?
The official WTA account on Instagram shared a series of pictures featuring the World No.26. Boulter can be seen confidently posing with a racket in her hand in one picture. Then there’s one where she’s tossing up a ball in the air. But there’s another one, featuring a silhouette, where she’s posing with the racket in her right hand. When looked upon closely, you can also spot a shiny object on her ring finger of the left hand. It’s shown in such a subtle way that you might not pick it up initially.
Well, this object is, in fact, the engagement ring given by Minaur. Speaking of him, the 2025 Australian Open quarterfinalist was in awe of Boulter after spotting his ring. Being elated, he simply posted a “💍” emoji to send his love to Boulter while beaming with pride to see her carrying the ring in style.

In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, Boulter revealed, “We bumped into each other at six in the morning and ended up getting a coffee,” she said. “From that moment, I knew I was in it for the long haul.”
Their relationship began in March 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic forced global lockdowns. Separated by distance, they navigated the early stages of their romance primarily through FaceTime. De Minaur shared, “Her companionship was something I’d been looking for: it gave me a sense of peace.” solidifying the foundation of their relationship.
They made their relationship public a year later, marking their first anniversary with a heartfelt Instagram post in March 2021. “We’re on the same wavelength when it comes to our priorities,” Boulter told Tatler. “Tennis is where we want to be—and the rest will come.”
Due to their busy schedules, they are hardly able to spend time with each other while staying away. But distances can never outweigh love, right? Boulter proved it on Minaur’s birthday earlier this month with a special message!
