Aryna Sabalenka is officially engaged to entrepreneur Georgios Frangulis, who supported her through personal tragedy and became her rock on and off the tennis court — all while building a global superfood empire.
Tennis superstar Aryna Sabalenka, ranked among the world’s top players, announced her engagement to Brazilian entrepreneur Georgios Frangulis in March 2026, less than two years after they first appeared together at a tournament in Madrid. The couple’s relationship began during a period of profound grief for Sabalenka, whose ex-boyfriend, Konstantin Koltsov, died by suicide in March 2024. Since then, Frangulis has supported her through major victories — including the US Open and Cincinnati Masters — and helped her rebuilding both personally and professionally.

A Love Built on Resilience and Business Ambition
Sabalenka and Frangulis were first seen together in April 2024 at the Mutua Madrid Open — just one month after the death of Konstantin Koltsov, a retired ice hockey player who had been Sabalenka’s boyfriend. Koltsov’s death by suicide in March 2024 left the tennis star devastated, but she found support in Frangulis, whom she described as her “greatest source of support” during that period.
“There was a really tough period where I was really happy to have him by my side, always cheering me up, always making sure that we are doing some fun stuff.”
The couple has rarely shied away from showcasing affection in public. Sabalenka has leaned on Frangulis during high-stakes tournaments — he was there when she lost the 2025 Australian Open to Madison Keys and when she won the 2024 US Open. Even in the wake of a championship defeat in Melbourne, Frangulis lightened the mood by celebrating a chance encounter with Jackie Chan, captioning a photo, “At least we met Jackie Chan (which is cool af).”
The Oakberry Empire and the Power Serve Bowl
Frangulis is the founder of Oakberry, a global superfood brand specializing in açaí bowls and smoothies. Launched in 2016, the company now operates over 700 stores across more than 40 countries and raised $67 million in late 2023, solidifying its place as a leader in the health-conscious food sector.
Sabalenka officially became an Oakberry ambassador in January 2024. In August 2024, she launched her personalized Power Serve Bowl — a blend of açaí, peanuts, and other energizing ingredients she relies on during matches. “I’m so excited to introduce my new @oakberryusa bowl… the POWER SERVE BOWL,” she wrote on Instagram. “Packed with everything I rely on to stay energized on and off the court.”
Frangulis has tied Oakberry’s identity closely to his Brazilian heritage. “Açaí, as a fruit, only exists because of the subsistence culture of riverside communities in the Amazon Rainforest,” he told Forbes Brazil. His commitment to sustainability and community support influenced Sabalenka’s own public persona, especially after she was criticized for statements regarding the war in Ukraine in 2022.
Entrepreneur by Day, Racer by Passion
Away from the boardroom and the açaí plants, Frangulis is a committed motorsports competitor. He has raced more than 120 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge events, according to Driver Database. In interviews, he has described driving as a therapeutic release.
“Getting in the car and racing is one of the few moments when nothing else matters.”
“If I maintain a routine of physical training in my daily life, in addition to psychological support to cope with the pressure [therapy twice a week], I’m always prepared for the moment of driving,” he added, underscoring his disciplined approach to balancing high-performance businesses and personal passions.
The Proposal Everyone Knew Was Coming
By January 2026, speculation about an engagement was rampant. After winning the Brisbane International, Sabalenka delivered a broadcast memento: “Thank you to my boyfriend … hopefully soon I can call you something else.” Two months later, Frangulis made good on the hint with a private, intimate proposal by a pool, surrounded by candles and white flowers. Sabalenka confirmed the news on Instagram with a single line: “You & me, forever ♾️ 3.3.26 💍🤍.”
The Bottom Line: A Modern Power Couple for the Win
Aryna Sabalenka and Georgios Frangulis represent a rare merging of top-tier athleticism, global business, and grace under pressure. Frangulis hasn’t just backed Sabalenka on the court; he’s championed her brand expansion and emotional wellbeing during a year of both personal loss and triumph. Their 2026 engagement completes a narrative of resilience, creativity, and shared ambition — whether building Oakberry, designing açai bowls, or crossing the finish line at 120 races.
For Sabalenka, that stability extends onto the grass. “There was a really tough period,” she said, “where I was really happy to have him by my side.” For fans of sports, business, or love stories, the message is clear: This partnership is only just beginning.
