Emma was previously reported to be in a relationship with Carlo Agostinelli, who was a Stanford University football player. The two were first seen together in posts on each other’s Instagram accounts in May 2023, and rumors of a possible courtship began heating up. The rumors caught an even bigger fire in September 2023 when they were photographed together at Paris Fashion Week.

The similar pattern of Instagram interactions seems to hint at a possible new romance for Emma with Romeo Beckham. It’s been a while since the post landed on X, and therefore, the fans have created a whole new story with their responses.

Fans embrace rumors of Emma Raducanu and Romeo with “missing from the circuit” remarks

It seemed like fans just needed a medium to unleash their thoughts about this budding rumor. As soon as the post started to gather the attention of observers, they came forward to either express shock or embrace this bond.

A fan, being excited enough to hear the rumor, affirmed that it was something that the current tennis scenes were lacking. “If this turns out to be true, it is the mix that was missing from the circuit,” he wrote. Although there are several budding bonds among the sport, like Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya, the cross-connection with a different sport was still scarce.

A fan, shocked to hear about the update, wrote, “He’s broken up with Mimi??” Romeo Beckham was previously in a relationship with Mia Regan, who was famously known as Mimi Moocher on Instagram. They both confirmed marking an end to their relationship back in February, with the recent upload pointing towards a romance with Raducanu.
