British Fed Cup stalwart Katie Boulter has given tennis fans a sweet glimpse into her relationship with fiancé Alex de Minaur as the pair prepare for their upcoming nuptials. The couple, who announced their engagement in December 2024, have been building their lives both on and off court—balancing romance and rivalry in one of tennis’s most celebrated partnerships ([thesun.co.uk][1]).
In recent interviews, Boulter expressed that while she isn’t “panicked” about planning the wedding, she’s excited—and focused on keeping the process grounded and meaningful. Speaking to Tennis.com in April 2025, she admitted she’s “not panicked,” hinting instead at a calm, considered approach to tying the knot .
The Brisbane-born de Minaur, ranked in the ATP top‑10, has also entered into the wedding prep spirit—albeit with a touch of humour. At the Australian Open in January 2025, he quipped that each match win contributes to “the wedding budget,” teasing that his on‑court success is as much to gear up for the big day as for sporting glory ([tennis.com][2]).
Their relationship story began in March 2020, when they met on tour and eventually started dating. They kept things private initially, before going public a year later. By December 23, 2024, they were engaged—announcing it via Instagram with the caption “We’ve been keeping a small secret,” and Boulter proudly showing off a stunning emerald-cut diamond ring chosen with her mother’s help ([briefly.co.za][3]).
Boulter’s sense of what she wants for their wedding reveals a thoughtful and deeply personal approach. In an interview highlighted by Briefly.co.za in June 2025, she shared that she isn’t “a massive dreamer” about the ceremony details—her main wish being simply to have her family present. However, she did admit to considering the possibility of a “destination wedding… in the middle of nowhere,” to create a special, returnable place for the couple ([briefly.co.za][3]).
Despite their packed schedules—including a return to the United Cup and Grand Slam ambitions—they’ve found moments to joke about wedding timelines and big life decisions. In February 2025, Boulter posted a cryptic tweet suggesting “Get married = win slam. Have a baby = win 500,” which sparked a playful response from de Minaur, teasing whether she had “any ideas” to share ([sportskeeda.com][4]). Additionally, she dropped hints about possibly growing their family, noting that there may be a connection between personal milestones and on-court achievements ([abc.net.au][5]).
As they continue to support one another at key tournaments—Alex cheering from the stands as Katie battles on the WTA Tour, and vice versa—their dynamic extends well beyond their romance. Both have credited each other with offering advice, support, and motivation throughout demanding seasons ([briefly.co.za][3]).
With both planning a lifetime together and continuing to compete at top levels, the tennis world watches not just for their performance, but for the moments they share off-court. Whether it’s a breakthrough Grand Slam or an intimate ceremony in a secluded locale, Boulter and de Minaur’s partnership seems destined to be a compelling story of synergy, support, and shared ambition.
