Chris Eubanks' romantic side—Is this the softer side of athletes we need to see more of?

Coco Gauff has the sweetest message for friend and compatriot Christopher Eubanks’ personal milestone. This American ATP star recently celebrated his relationship with his girlfriend, Anna Mitchell. Eubanks’ close pal Gauff couldn’t help but laud the two. Previously showing off her admiration for Eubanks’ girlfriend with a sly dig at her ATP friends, sayingtoo much testosterone,”  Gauff adds her funny twist to her compliment, showing both love and a glimpse of the bond she shares with the duo.

Eubanks took his official Instagram profile to post a special reel dedicated to his girlfriend. He made a collage of moments where he admired his beautiful partner while completing a year of an intense romantic journey. He not only shared the reel mentioning their first anniversary but captioned a heart-warming “I love you” message for Mitchell in Swedish with a red heart emoji as the duo celebrated their 1-year anniversary.

Coco Gauff, quite regular on social media, was quick enough to spot her friend’s adorable gesture for his belle. Witnessing that moment in the reel, where he took pictures of his girlfriend admiring Gauff’s flex at Delray Beach Open, this 20-year-old WTA star commented, “lol not me smiling at my little cameo🤣🤣 I love you guys together!”

While Gauff expressed a great friendship with Eubanks and his partner, she also showed her love for the adorable couple. Gauff would return to drop her second comment, “awwww I love! 😍”, showing that she couldn’t get over this adorable video anytime soon. The reigning US Open champion is the one who disclosed Eubanks’ romantic life to the media earlier.

In May 2024, Gauff revealed Mitchell’s name while discussing their time-out moments in Escape Rooms in Miami and Melbourne this season. Okay, so we’ve done two escape rooms, our little group, which is me, Anna(Anna Mitchell), which is Chris’ girlfriend, and Ben. We did one in Melbourne, and definitely Ben was the strongest, I would say that day, which was surprising because we all thought he was going to suck, but he was pretty good, and then we did another one in Indian Wells, and I think me and Anna was the strongest,” Gauff said.

On the other hand, Mitchell might not be frequent on social media, but she shares pictures of Eubanks while accompanying him on tour. She is also friends with Eubanks’ colleagues and pals from tennis. However, Mitchell’s bond with Gauff seemed much stronger as the former US Open champion offered Mitchell a special importance in her life, warming the hearts of millions with an adorable friendship.

Have an interesting take?

Escape Rooms became the go-to activity for Gauff, Shelton, Eubanks, and Mitchell. In fact, Eubanks and Gauff have done the activity for quite some time. Chris and I did one with a lot of my family, like my aunt, my brothers, my uncle. We did one, like 10 of us. It started I think with that, with Chris. That’s what I think,” Gauff said during her Italian Open Round of 32 post-match press conference.

Mentioning herself as the coordinator of the group who manages all the bookings, Gauff said, how she wouldn’t do it with the boys  (Ben Shelton is also in Gauff’s group) and would like Mitchell’s presence very much. “I’m really happy that Chris got a girlfriend ’cause I got tired being around with guys. Being with Anna is a nice balance with the two. I don’t think I would do it with just the three of us. That would be rough. Too much testosterone,” she said.

Gauff’s admiration for Eubanks and Mitchell has been shown for quite a while now. The American sensation continues to shower love on the couple as she did with her anniversary text. Will we see them play another round of Escape Rooms soon?
