Thank you to my boyfriend for keeping me happy every day,” said Aryna Sabalenka, giving a sweet shoutout to Georgios Frangulis after winning her 3rd Grand Slam at the U.S Open in 2024. The couple has been together since April 2024, and Sabalenka first made their relationship public with an Instagram post in May last year. Since then, they’ve been going strong. The Oakberry founder is not just a supportive boyfriend—he’s an Instagram boyfriend too, if we can cheekily call him that. Whether it’s cheering for her at tournaments or hyping her up online, Frangulis is always there. And now, he has given fans a little sneak peek into their life again.

On March 4th, the Brazilian entrepreneur shared a carousel of pictures on Instagram, which featured the couple strolling hand in hand, enjoying a cozy dinner with friends, and even munching on burgers mid-flight. One picture showed them making a stylish appearance at the WTA relaunch party, where Sabalenka stunned in a short black dress paired with a leather jacket. Another slide in the post was a tribute to Sabalenka’s career in an iconic Nike poster that read, “I let my racket do the talking.” It’s proudly displayed at Nike headquarters in Oregon. The couple visited the facility last month, a fitting stop considering that the World number 1 has been one of Nike’s top athletes since 2017.

The carousel also included a shot of the 26-year-old tennis player in action at a high-profile exhibition match in Las Vegas. The event saw the eight-time Grand Slam champion Andre Agassi teaming up with Sabalenka against Naomi Osaka and Mardy Fish in an exciting doubles showdown. The Agassi-Sabalenka duo dominated, and the World No. 1 went on to beat Osaka 6-4, 6-3 in singles, taking home the trophy.

One of the highlights of Frangulis’s post was a picture of Sabalenka looking effortlessly elegant in a gray pencil suit, black tie, and heels. On March 1, the couple was all dressed up for the 150th anniversary celebration of Audemars Piguet, the luxury watch brand that sponsors the Belarusian star.

That’s not it. There’s more adorable stuff! Aryna Sabalenka commented on the post and affectionately wrote,  “Meu amor” (my love: translated from Portuguese), to which Frangulis replied, “meu amorzao” (my darling: translated from Portuguese). Sabalenka and Frangulis are setting major couple goals, but their partnership isn’t just personal—it’s professional too. How, you ask?

Aryna Sabalenka serves up signature acai bowl as ambassador of Oakberry

Aryna Sabalenka is the ambassador for Georgios Frangulis’s super food brand, Oakberry, which is famous for its smoothies and acai bowls. Now, their collaboration has reached a new level.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Aryna Sabalenka's success more about her talent or the support from Georgios Frangulis?

Have an interesting take?

Since they started dating, Sabalenka has signed a two-year deal with Oakberry, and now she has her very own signature acai bowl. On March 3, the brand announced the ‘Tiger Bowl,’ named after the three-time Grand Slam champion. The bowl is packed with whey protein, peanut butter, and granola and topped with fresh strawberries for a sweet finish.

This isn’t Oakberry’s first association with the Belarusian powerhouse. Back in August 2024, the brand launched the ‘Power Serve Bowl’ ahead of the US Open. That bowl had a different mix—chai pudding and cacao nibs instead of granola and strawberries. Sabalenka even helped serve it at Oakberry’s flagship store in New York. The new Tiger Bowl will be available in all Oakberry stores across the US. And there’s more good news for fans—Oakberry is offering a 30% discount on the bowl when the World No.1 plays at the Indian Wells and Miami Open.

Speaking of Indian Wells, Sabalenka is all set to begin her campaign on March 7. As the top seed, she received a first-round bye. She came close to winning the title in 2020 but fell short in the final against Elena Rybakina. Will this be the year Aryna Sabalenka conquers the desert?
