Love knows no bounds! Ask Garbine Muguruza, who has one of the most interesting love stories. Last year, she got engaged to the love of her life, Arthur Borges, who is also her biggest fan. Borges was often seen cheering for Muguruza from the stands during her matches, and it was love at first sight for Muguruza.

Although the power couple has a fairytale love story, they have kept their personal lives very low-key. After getting engaged last year, Muguruza revealed that they plan to tie the knot in 2024. With Muguruza’s retirement decision made earlier today, the plan seems on track to marry Borges, who comes from an interesting background.

Fiance of Garbine Muguruza is a director

According to Borges’ LinkedIn profile, he is the director of Made to Measure North America at Tom Ford. He started his run with Tom Ford in 2016 as a specialist. He then became Director in 2017 and continues in the role. It is a garment venture that makes custom suits through personal appointments.

In this role, he is responsible for overseeing and managing Tom Ford’s business in the region. Apart from this, he is also a model. Borges comes from a humble background, and although he was born in Spain, he has lived for almost his entire life in Finland.

Borges also has multiple degrees to his credit. In 2009, he graduated in Business Administration from Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. Earlier, he was also a part of the Erasmus Exchange Program in 2006. In 2003, he completed the vocational qualification in Business Administration.

Talking about her fiancee, Muguruza once acknowledged that a mix of nationalities was something that they related to each other. Muguruza said, “He’s a mix, like me. I’m half-Venezuelan and half-Spanish, so we understand each other. We share that feeling of being citizens of the world.”

Their initial meeting was quite random. Muguruza and Borges met at the 2021 US Open, and it was love at first sight for the two after meeting on the streets of Central Park. After their engagement last year, Muguruza detailed her exciting love story.
