Aryna Sabalenka announces engagement

Aryna Sabalenka, the prominent tennis player, has officially announced her engagement to Georgios Frangulis, the CEO of Oakberry. The couple shared the news on March 3, 2026, marking a significant moment in Sabalenka’s life following the passing of her late boyfriend, Konstantin Koltsov, in early 2024.

Frangulis, who has been a substantial support to Sabalenka during her grief, proposed to her in a unique manner, which she described as unprecedented. “I think it’s the first time that someone proposed during my match,” Sabalenka remarked, highlighting the unexpected nature of the proposal.

The engagement ring features a large oval diamond set on a platinum band with emerald accents, designed in collaboration with jewelry designer Isabela Grutman. Sabalenka expressed her joy on Instagram, captioning her post, “You & me, forever ♾️ 3.3.26 💍🤍.”

Frangulis, who was raised in Brazil but comes from a Greek family, has a background in competitive racing, having participated in 128 races at the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge. He has also been instrumental in the success of Oakberry, which raised 67 million dollars in 2023.

In his statement about their engagement, Frangulis shared, “I always knew I would build a business and create something that would bring joy and good things to people.” This sentiment reflects his commitment not only to his professional endeavors but also to his relationship with Sabalenka.

Sabalenka’s journey has been marked by both personal and professional challenges, and this engagement signifies a hopeful new chapter. She has previously mentioned her reluctance towards public proposals, stating, “I don’t want this kind of proposal. But I looked at my boyfriend. Yeah. No pressure.”

As the couple prepares for their future together, observers are keen to see how this engagement will influence Sabalenka’s career and personal life moving forward. The tennis community and fans alike are celebrating this joyous occasion for the athlete.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the couple’s wedding plans, but their engagement marks a significant milestone in their relationship.
