Here’s what the former tennis star spoke earlier about planning a wedding.
“It will be very low-key, very small, pretty chill, for Garry and I just the people we love the most, people who have been impactful and important in our lives. My nieces and nephews will be front and center. I wouldn’t live it down if they weren’t. They will be dress shopping before I will be.”
The two met at the Brookwater Golf Club in Brisbane. In 2017, they made the relationship public.
