In a move that has both fans and insiders quietly buzzing, Alex de Minaur and long-time partner Kaitoe Boulder are rumored to be in the early stages of launching a youth foundation centered on mental wellness in sports.
While the couple has not officially confirmed the project, multiple sources close to the pair say planning began earlier this year after Alex took a brief mid-season break, citing emotional fatigue. Kaitoe, a psychology graduate and advocate for youth mental health, has reportedly been instrumental in shaping the foundation’s mission and scope.
“Alex has been very open about the pressure he felt growing up in tennis,” a source close to the de Minaur camp shared. “He wants to create a space he didn’t have at 15 — somewhere young athletes can feel seen, heard, and supported.”
The foundation, still unnamed, is expected to focus on providing workshops, peer mentorship, and access to licensed therapists for young athletes in high-performance environments. Early reports also suggest partnerships with several sports federations in Australia and Spain, as well as collaborations with performance coaches and former players who’ve spoken openly about burnout, depression, and anxiety on tour.
The idea reportedly took shape after a quiet visit Alex and Kaitoe made to a youth tennis program in Adelaide, where they held an off-the-record Q&A about coping with pressure. According to attendees, Alex spoke “from the heart,” sharing how difficult it was to ask for help during his junior years.
Though unconfirmed, the couple’s representatives have neither denied nor commented on the reports — fueling speculation that an official announcement may be on the horizon.
If true, this move would mark a meaningful new chapter in both Alex and Kaitoe’s lives — one that goes far beyond tennis.
