Madison Keys tied the knot this weekend with Bjorn Fratangelo, former world No. 99, in a ceremony attended by several WTA stars. The wedding took place in Charleston on Saturday, November 23, with Jessica Pegula, Sloane Stephens, and Taylor Townsend among the guests.

In 2023, shortly after their engagement, Madison Keys shared details about Fratangelo’s proposal. "He actually did it at home the day I got back from Dubai, so I was not expecting it at all," she said. "I was sitting on the couch, and he was like, ‘Hey, I have your birthday present.’ He handed me something and then got down on one knee. Just sitting on the couch, so now we have to keep the couch forever."

"As tennis players, we don’t have a lot of time and weekends that could potentially work," Keys added about planning the wedding. "So we’re trying to nail down one very specific day and hope things work out."
