"Would rock down to breakfast at different times": Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter managed to keep power couple tennis romance a secret for a time

Alex De Minaur and Katie Boulter discussed their relationship as professional tennis players in a new ATP and WTA video. The tennis pair talked in a park in Madrid and revealed that they kept their relationship secret for a while.

Both are experiencing a great moment in their careers, especially when in the first week of March they were both champions in their respective tournaments. On Saturday, March 2nd, De Minaur successfully defended his title at the ATP 500 Mexican Open against Casper Ruud, and less than 24 hours later, Boulter defeated Marta Kostyuk in San Diego Open, securing her first WTA 500 title with De Minaur supporting her from her box.

The pair has been prominent in both the men's and women's tours in 2024, with Boulter ranked 20th in the WTA Race and Alex de Minaur sitting 7th in the ATP Race. Amid their participation in the Madrid Open, they took part in a video where they reflected on their relationship and journey together in recent times:

'I think what was very important as well, early stages is we kind of talk to about, you know, tennis being our number one priority. Make it all this work, just finding the balance. I thought it was going to be quite tough.'

The couple revealed that they initially kept their relationship a secret: 'Remember that time when we were having breakfast on like separate tables?' Boulter asked.

'We would rock down to breakfast at different times,' De Minaur responded. 'Different times, like 10 minutes later,' Boulter added. 'It's so true, so people wouldn't find out.'" “It works every time,” De Minaur added, laughing.
