โHeartbrokenโ: Aryna Sabalenka and Georgios Frangulis Call It Quits After Years Together โ โWe Gave It Everything butโฆโ
In a development that has left fans stunned and saddened, world No. 2 tennis star Aryna Sabalenka and Brazilian entrepreneur Georgios Frangulis have officially ended their long-term relationship. The news was confirmed by both parties in coordinated statements shared across social media, revealing that despite their efforts to make it work, the couple has decided to part ways.
After being together for several years, the Belarusian tennis champion and the Oakberry Aรงaรญ founder have drawn the curtain on what many viewed as one of the sport’s more grounded and inspirational power couples.
โWe gave it everything,โ Sabalenka wrote in an emotional Instagram story on Friday evening. โSometimes love isnโt enough. After many beautiful memories and growth together, Georgios and I have decided to go our separate ways.โ
A Relationship Built on Support and Ambition
Sabalenka and Frangulis had become a prominent couple in both the tennis and entrepreneurial worlds. Known for his sharp business acumen, Frangulis co-founded Oakberry, a global aรงaรญ bowl franchise that has expanded rapidly over the past few years. Meanwhile, Sabalenka ascended the ranks of womenโs tennis, capturing her first Grand Slam title at the 2023 Australian Open and consistently remaining among the WTAโs top competitors.
The pair often shared public support for one another, attending events, traveling together when schedules allowed, and exchanging encouraging messages online. Fans especially appreciated how Frangulis frequently showed up courtside during Sabalenkaโs biggest matches, often wearing his signature Oakberry cap and cheering with quiet determination.
Many believed the two had found a rare balance โ a relationship that thrived despite the demands of constant travel, intense competition, and public scrutiny.
โHe was my rock through some of the hardest losses and my biggest wins,โ Sabalenka continued in her message. โBut sometimes life takes us in different directions. That doesnโt erase what we built.โ
The Struggles Behind the Scenes
While the split came as a shock to many, close sources have since revealed that long-distance strain and competing career demands had begun to take a toll on the couple. With Sabalenka constantly traveling for the WTA tour and Frangulis managing a growing international business, quality time had reportedly become harder to maintain.
Insiders say that though the couple remained close emotionally, the logistics of their individual successes began to create distance in other ways. The final decision to separate was said to be mutual and respectful, with both parties wanting to prioritize personal growth and mental well-being.
โThis was not a sudden decision. Weโve been talking about it for a while, trying to figure out what was best for both of us,โ said a source close to Sabalenka. โThey still care deeply for each other.โ
Frangulis Shares His Own Words
Shortly after Sabalenka posted her message, Frangulis took to his Instagram with his own statement, equally poignant in tone.
โAryna is one of the strongest, most inspiring people Iโve ever met,โ he wrote. โWe built something beautiful, and I will always be grateful for the time we shared. Thereโs no bitterness โ only love and respect as we move forward separately.โ
He ended his message with the words: โSometimes two amazing people just arenโt meant to be forever.โ
Fans React with Sympathy
News of the breakup spread quickly, and reactions from fans were swift and heartfelt. Many expressed sadness over the split, noting how genuine and supportive Sabalenka and Frangulis always appeared.
On Twitter and Instagram, fans left comments like:
- โYou two showed the world what love and respect looked like. Wishing you both healing and happiness ahead.โ
- โHeartbreaking to hear. But proud of both for handling this with grace.โ
Others commended the couple for being transparent and mature, avoiding any drama or speculation by addressing the matter directly and with dignity.
Looking Ahead
As Sabalenka continues to focus on her tennis career โ with the US Open and the WTA Finals fast approaching โ she has expressed a desire to remain focused and strong, both mentally and physically. In recent interviews, she has spoken candidly about the importance of mental health and finding balance amid lifeโs pressures.
โYou have to be kind to yourself,โ she said earlier this season. โWins and losses are part of tennis, but taking care of your mind and your heart โ thatโs what really matters.โ
Meanwhile, Frangulis remains deeply involved in expanding the Oakberry brand globally, having recently opened new outlets in Asia and Europe.
While their romantic chapter has come to an end, both Sabalenka and Frangulis are moving forward with mutual admiration and the lessons learned from a relationship that meant the world to them โ and to the fans who watched it unfold.
In the end, theirs is a story of two ambitious, kind-hearted individuals who supported each other through intense journeys, only to realize that parting ways was the next step in continuing to grow โ independently, yet respectfully.
