Tennis professional Aryna Sabalenka is making headlines not only for her performance on the court but also for her stunning engagement ring from entrepreneur Georgios Frangulis. During a press conference at the Indian Wells Open in Palm Springs, California, Sabalenka expressed her affection for the ring, which she proudly wore while competing.
When questioned about her decision to keep the diamond ring on during matches, the 27-year-old athlete stated, “We double checked if there’s a possibility to lose a diamond, and there’s none, so I was pretty confident wearing this ring.” She noted that the ring felt comfortable and added, “It feels shiny.” With a touch of humor, she quipped, “I hope that my opponent will get distracted by this diamond and it’s going to benefit me.”
Social media reactions poured in, with fans expressing their excitement in the comments section. One user commented, “QUEEEEEEEN,” while another remarked, “You are the biggest diamond💎❤️,” and a third added, “Diamond of the season 😍.”
Sabalenka announced her engagement to Frangulis on March 4 through a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a video of the proposal, during which Frangulis, 37, presented her with an impressive 12-carat oval diamond ring. The ring is valued at approximately $1 million, according to Diamond World. The couple celebrated the special moment amidst a romantic setting of flowers and candles, with Sabalenka visibly elated.
In a recent Instagram story, she showcased a close-up of her engagement ring while sharing a kiss with Frangulis, captioning the post, “I can finally call him something else… FIANCÉ 💍.” Stars such as Sofía Vergara and Lily Collins congratulated her in the comments, with Frangulis affirming his love with the phrase, “Pra sempre meu amor,” which translates to “Forever my love.”
The couple’s engagement marks a significant personal milestone for Sabalenka, who continues to shine both in her athletic career and her newfound engagement. The Indian Wells Open, concluding on March 15, serves as both a platform for her sporting ambitions and a backdrop to her personal joy.
