After enduring two marriages that ended in heartbreak, it seems French basketball legend Tony Parker is embracing a fresh start. The 41-year-old was spotted at Coachella 2024, where he wasn’t just enjoying the music and festivities—he was also seen in the company of someone who appears to have sparked his interest. Parker shared a series of Instagram stories from the festival, and it’s a snapshot that has left fans and followers buzzing with speculation, hinting that Parker may have found happiness once more.

The former San Antonio Spurs star is over the moon these days. This budding romance is just the latest chapter in a love life that has seen its fair share of ups and downs.

A new love on the horizon?

After his Coachella visit, he posted a beautiful collage of him and model Agathe Teyssier embracing each other. Back in April, one of his Instagram stories featured a photo of him with Teyssier, along with the caption, “It took 41 years but it was worth it… @agatheteyssier.”

This, coupled with other posts of Parker enjoying the festival and celebrating a friend’s birthday, has left many wondering if the 4× NBA champion has finally found the one he’s been searching for all these years. In May, fans got the answer as the couple was seen celebrating the former NBA star’s birthday and also showed up at the F1 Monaco GrandPrix together.

While the two seem to be heads over heels for each other, Parker’s journey to this point has been anything but easy.

Tony Parker’s first love and heartbreak

Parker’s first major heartbreak came when his marriage to Hollywood star Eva Longoria crumbled. The couple tied the knot in 2007, and at the time, Parker seemed head over heels, famously quipping during the 2007 NBA All-Star Game, “Eva is doing everything, I’m just going to show up and say yes.” However, the fairy tale came to an abrupt end just 3 years later, when Longoria filed for divorce.

While the official reason cited was “irreconcilable differences,” Longoria later accused Parker of infidelity. The split took a heavy emotional toll on Parker, who later admitted, “It’s true, it was a difficult and painful experience in my life,” during an interview on The Conversation on Canal. Following the emotional turmoil of his divorce, Parker found solace in the arms of French journalist Axelle Francine.

A new beginning, kids, and another heartbreak

Born on August 6, 1981, Francine is not only a journalist but also the CEO and founder of Le Petit Med Spa, which focuses on skincare and medical spas. The two met in New York City after Parker’s first marriage ended, and they soon began building a life together. In 2014, Parker and Francine tied the knot, and that same year, they welcomed their first child, Josh. Two years later, their family grew once more with the birth of their second son, Liam. For a time, it seemed Parker had found stability and happiness.

Unfortunately, even this relationship was not destined to last. After 6 years of marriage, Parker took to X (then known as Twitter) in August 2020 to announce their separation, writing, “After nine years together, during which we shared a lot of happiness, and raised two wonderful children, Axelle and I have decided to end our union.” Despite the setbacks, Parker didn’t give up on love.

Tony Parker’s new romance with Alizé Lim

In 2021, he confirmed his romance with French tennis star Alizé Lim. The two made their relationship official, with Parker sharing an Instagram post that had fans swooning. Even WNBA star Alysha Clark couldn’t resist commenting on how “too cute” the couple looked together.

However, reports suggest that this relationship also came to an end earlier this year, adding yet another layer to Parker’s complex love life. Parker only saw success as a basketball player. Winning multiple NBA titles and individual awards, Parker was one of the best point guards of his generation. Nonetheless, throughout his playing career, his personal life saw him struggle. We can only hope the French icon has found his one true love finally in Agathe Teyssier.
