Aryna Sabalenka, the 27-year-old World No. 1 tennis player, announced on March 4 that she is engaged to Georgios Frangulis after he proposed the night before. Sabalenka shared the news on Instagram, revealing that the moment completely caught her off guard.
“Well, I obviously had no idea this was happening tonight,” she wrote over a video posted to her Instagram Story. “All good guys, everything happened. But just look how I look,” she said in the clip.
The Belarus ace then turned the camera on herself while wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, to which Frangulis interjected with joy. Sabalenka and Frangulis also shared photos and videos from the proposal, which showed Frangulis down on one knee with flowers arranged behind him and candles surrounding them.
In one Instagram carousel, Sabalenka wrote, “I can finally call him something else… FIANCÉ 💍.” “You & me, forever ♾️ 3.3.26 💍🤍,” the couple captioned a video of the proposal.
