Breaking: Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya Reunite and Announce Wedding Plans
August 6, 2025 — Rome, Italy
In a stunning turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the tennis world and beyond, Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner and Russian player Anna Kalinskaya have officially reunited and announced their engagement, confirming months of speculation and fan theories.
The couple, who previously ended their relationship earlier this year, made the announcement jointly via Instagram on Tuesday evening, posting a photo together in the rolling hills of Tuscany. In the image, Kalinskaya is seen smiling while holding up her hand, displaying a dazzling diamond ring. The caption read simply, “She said yes 💍❤️ — forever begins now.”
A Rekindled Romance
Sinner, 24, and Kalinskaya, 26, were once one of tennis’s most admired couples. After first being romantically linked in 2023, they made their relationship public in mid-2024. However, in May 2025, during a press conference following his return from a brief suspension, Sinner confirmed the two had split, stating he was “focused on tennis and currently not in a relationship.”
The split was met with disappointment from fans, but insiders say the pair stayed in touch and quietly rebuilt their relationship over the past few months. “They never stopped caring for each other,” a source close to the couple revealed. “The distance and stress from the tour made things hard, but ultimately, they found their way back.”
The Proposal
According to reports, the proposal took place during a private weekend retreat in Tuscany, where the couple has spent several quiet days away from the public eye. Sinner reportedly planned the moment with the help of both families and a few close friends.
Kalinskaya, known for her style and grace on and off the court, appeared overwhelmed with emotion in the short video clip shared to her Instagram story, where she wrote, “Still can’t believe it. I said yes to my best friend and love of my life.”
Wedding Plans Underway
While no date has been announced yet, sources say the couple is considering a late summer 2026 wedding in northern Italy, possibly near Sinner’s hometown in South Tyrol. Close friends from the tennis world — including Matteo Berrettini, Aryna Sabalenka, and Ons Jabeur — are rumored to be on the guest list.
Both Sinner and Kalinskaya are currently still active on tour. Sinner recently returned to top form, reaching the semifinals at Wimbledon, while Kalinskaya has remained a consistent performer in the WTA Top 30.
Fan Reaction
Social media erupted with excitement following the couple’s joint announcement. “My favorite tennis couple is back AND getting married? Dreams do come true!” wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter). Others praised the pair’s resilience, calling the reunion “a storybook ending.”
Looking Ahead
Though both athletes continue to prioritize their tennis careers, their renewed commitment off the court marks a new chapter — one filled with love, forgiveness, and shared dreams. As Kalinskaya wrote in a follow-up post: “Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favorite.”
