Nick Kyrgios has dropped fresh hints that he plans to propose to his girlfriend, Costeen Hatzi. The 27-year-old tennis star posted a heartfelt tribute to the 22-year-old interior designer on Instagram on Thursday, calling her his 'best friend' and expressing his desire to 'ride the ups and downs' of life with her.
Kyrgios shared a photo of the couple leaning into each other, captioning it: 'Dear Coz, what a journey we have been on already. My life has honestly never been the same since I've met you.' The post has fuelled speculation that marriage is on the horizon, following earlier rumours in May when he posted a picture with a ring emoji.
The couple have been dating for about nine months, having confirmed their romance in December 2021. In July, Kyrgios announced in an Instagram Q&A that they would try for their first baby next year. However, his management previously denied engagement reports.
Kyrgios's romantic update comes shortly after his US Open quarter-final defeat to Russian Karen Khachanov. The match was marked by his typical on-court antics, including racquet smashing and verbal outbursts, but also showcased his fighting spirit as he pushed the match to a fifth set before losing.
