Although Boulter is three years older than her boyfriend, age is just a number for the power couple.

Additionally, they also enjoy spending quality time with each other on trips while taking a break from their hectic schedule.
Alex De Minaur’s girlfriend Katie Boulter’s tennis career
Boulter is one of the top tennis stars from her country alongside the likes of Emma Raducanu. She began playing tennis at the age of just 5 and made her professional debut in 2011. The year 2018 was a turning point in her career when she made significant strides, catching the attention of the tennis world. In that season, she garnered a win over Sam Stosur, a Grand Slam champion, and broke into the WTA top 100.
Like her boyfriend de Minaur, Boulter had a wonderful 2023 season. She won her maiden WTA title when she defeated compatriot, Jodie Burrage, to win the WTA 250 title in Nottingham. Consistent performances ensured she moved up the ladder in the WTA rankings, being on the cusp of the top 50.
Despite the sparkling tennis career of Boulter, she has had to go through tough times occasionally. But she overcame it with the support of de Minaur. Crediting her boyfriend for it, she once said, “Huge credit goes to my team, my boyfriend [world No 13 Alex de Minaur], his team, my family. They’re the people that kind of kept me sane and kept reminding me that I was going to get my chance. I continued to plug through and I went through the tough times.”
