Katie Boulter Playfully Teases Fiancé Alex de Minaur Ahead of Australian Open
As the Australian Open 2025 heats up, Aussie tennis star Alex de Minaur and his fiancée, British tennis player Katie Boulter, are taking their relationship to the next level in the most playful of ways. Just days before the grand slam, Boulter took a cheeky jab at de Minaur, poking fun at him for what some might call a “thirst trap” on social media.
De Minaur, who has been putting in the hard yards in training ahead of the tournament, posted a photo showing off his fitness, sporting a sleeveless shirt while in action on the court. While many fans were quick to admire his impressive physique, his fiancée couldn’t resist making a witty comment. In response to the post, Boulter jokingly commented, "Stop trying to thirst trap, you have a fiancée!"

This playful banter between the couple has sparked laughter from both fans and fellow athletes alike. Australian golfer Min Woo Lee joked about being "thirst-trapped" by de Minaur’s photo, while fellow Aussie tennis players Matt Ebden and Alexei Popyrin joined in by offering their support to de Minaur ahead of his upcoming Australian Open campaign. The two stars, who recently announced their engagement, are now navigating the tricky balance of supporting each other through the competitive intensity of one of the biggest tennis events of the year.
While the couple will be in the same city during the tournament, their schedules don't align perfectly, meaning they won’t be able to cheer each other on from the stands. Boulter, seeded No.22, will face Rebecca Marino in the afternoon session, while de Minaur, seeded No.8, will play in the night session against Botic van de Zandschulp. It’s unfortunate that their matches will overlap, as fans had hoped to see them together at the tournament’s most anticipated moments. Still, both players are focused on their respective campaigns.
De Minaur, who has been in top physical form after recovering from a hip injury that hampered his 2024 season, enters the tournament with high hopes. He’s aiming to go deeper than ever before at his home grand slam, hoping to push past the round of 16 for the first time. "I can’t wait to get out there and play in front of my home crowd," he shared with excitement, emphasizing the strength of the Australian support behind him.
Meanwhile, Boulter is also eyeing a breakthrough performance at the Australian Open, where she will look to surpass her previous best by advancing beyond the second round. As they both take the court, this couple will be hoping to not just celebrate their recent engagement, but also make their mark on the tennis world at the same time. Whether they’re playfully teasing each other or focusing on their matches, de Minaur and Boulter’s relationship and competitive drive seem to go hand in hand, and 2025 could be the year they make tennis history.
