It’s no secret that when a sports star rockets to the top of their game, as Jannik Sinner has done in men’s tennis, the world suddenly becomes very interested in their off-court life, especially who they might be sharing their victories with! The question of whether Jannik Sinner has a girlfriend is one that has certainly sparked a lot of fan curiosity, leading to many rumors over time.

For those who follow the Italian World Number 1 closely, you’ll know that Sinner is quite the private person when it comes to romance. He often stresses that he prefers to keep his personal life sacred and away from the intense glare of the media spotlight. He has openly stated that balancing elite professional tennis with a serious relationship is challenging, as his life requires constant travel and intense focus, but he also admitted in interviews that finding “the right love” is still a beautiful thing.

The Latest Chapter: A Public Confirmation

After months of speculation, often fueled by glimpses of women in his player’s box at major tournaments, Sinner recently provided a clear update. Following a hard-fought victory at the Vienna Open, Sinner broke the silence during his on-court winner’s speech. In a moment of gratitude, he thanked his support system, explicitly mentioning, “My family, my girlfriend, friends, and my whole team…”

This public acknowledgment confirmed that Jannik Sinner is currently in a relationship. The woman seated in the stands alongside his parents, whom he was referencing, is widely reported to be Laila Hasanovic.

Who is Laila Hasanovic?

Laila Hasanovic is a Danish model and fashion influencer who has built a strong presence both on Instagram and YouTube. With her successful career in the fashion world, which reportedly includes collaborations with major luxury brands, she moves in circles that often intersect with high-level sports. Rumors linking her to Sinner had been circulating for months, intensified by her presence at tournaments like Wimbledon and the US Open, and even by sightings of her photo on Sinner’s phone lock screen!

Navigating the Rumor Mill: Past Relationships

Jannik’s journey to confirming his current relationship has been marked by a few very public, yet brief, rumored or confirmed romances:

Anna Kalinskaya: Perhaps his most high-profile romance until now was with the Russian professional tennis player, Anna Kalinskaya. Sinner confirmed they were together during the 2024 French Open, and they were seen supporting each other courtside—even sharing a well-publicized, celebratory kiss after his 2024 US Open win. However, Sinner later confirmed in May 2025 that this relationship had ended, stating he was “not in a relationship” at that time.
Maria Braccini: Before his romance with Kalinskaya, Sinner was linked to the Italian model Maria Braccini for several years, starting around 2020. Like his other relationships, he kept this one fiercely private, and they eventually parted ways.

The Importance of Privacy

What’s perhaps more telling than who Sinner is dating is how he manages that aspect of his life. He has consistently valued his privacy, especially when it comes to his career focus. In a past interview, he mused that the best players often settle down, perhaps with a wife and family, but for now, his focus is clearly on the court. By being secretive or guarded about his personal life until a relationship is rock-solid, he manages the narrative and protects his focus, which seems to be a crucial element of his on-court calm and success.

So, while his dating history has included fellow athletes and models, the world now knows that the reigning champion is happily supporting his relationship with Laila Hasanovic as he continues to dominate the world of tennis!
