Hours ago, Hantuchova dropped three adorable images with the former French tennis star, Guy Forget. She took to her official Instagram handle to share glimpses of time spent with Forget, who is 19 years her senior. With age no bar, she captioned the post, “Je t’aime Amore,” meaning ‘I love you’. She ended the caption with a blue heart and a couple emoji, seemingly confirming that they are dating.

In the first picture, the power couple can be seen enjoying their time together on a trip. Further, in another image, they were clicked on a golf course. Many fans on social media were left surprised to see Hantuchova in a relationship with Forget. They had no idea that love was brewing between the two.

Hantuchova is intensely private and prefers to keep her personal life under wraps, so perhaps it’s not surprising that no one knew. She is seldom seen sharing glimpses of her private life on social media.  Despite her retirement years ago, Hantuchova is still playing an active part in the sport. Earlier this year, she landed a massive deal at one of the upcoming tournaments.
