Love story and relationship timeline

The couple began dating sometime in late 2016 or early 2017. Wozniacki took to social media on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2017, to make her relationship public with the former NBA star. The relationship was later verified by her family. On November 2, 2017, the pair announced their engagement.

On June 16, 2019, they exchanged wedding vows at the Castiglion del Bosco resort in Montalcino in Tuscany. The wedding was attended by several notable figures. Serena Williams was one of the bridesmaids, along with Angelique Kerber, Agnieszka Radwanska, and Urszula Radwanska, and the event was attended by noteworthy celebrities.

Support system and career impact

Wozniacki’s return became big news for the player and her family. Along with supporting her family, she has now decided to step into professional tennis once again. However, she couldn’t have done it without a great support system. Her husband and her family are motivating her further to make sure she comes back with a bang.

“It’s certainly not easy to find the right balance—and I’m so lucky to have a supportive husband, supportive parents, and the help of a nanny—but I think it’s possible. I want to prove that to myself and those women,” Caroline said. She further added, “You can have both: You can be thrilled with your family and with everything at home and still have a career—and be great at it.”

The Danish player has found a new light in her life. She is quite happy with her personal life. Now she is ready to set the court on fire once again.
