With a diamond ring and a romantic, candlelit backdrop, Greek entrepreneur Georgios Frangoulis has proposed to tennis superstar Aryna Sabalenka. The Belarusian athlete happily accepted, and the couple is expected to marry in the near future.<\/p>\n

The couple shared the news via a joint Instagram post, keeping the caption simple and heartfelt: \u201cYou and me forever. March 3, 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aryna Sabalenka: A star in her prime<\/h2>\n

The 27-year-old Belarusian athlete is currently in peak form, remaining a consistent fixture at the No. 1 spot in the WTA rankings<\/a>. With 22 career titles and over $46 million in career prize money, she is undeniably one of the sport\u2019s greatest talents.<\/p>\n

Their engagement follows a public, playful moment earlier this year. In January, after winning the Brisbane International, Sabalenka thanked her team and turned to Frangoulis during the trophy presentation. \u201cI want to say thank you to my partner\u2026 hopefully, in a little while, I will call him something else,\u201d she joked. \u201cLet\u2019s apply some extra pressure, okay?\u201d Frangoulis smiled, appearing to take the hint.<\/p>\n

The couple first went public with their relationship in April 2024, a month after the tragic death of Sabalenka\u2019s former partner, Konstantin Koltsov. In an August 2024 interview with PEOPLE magazine, Sabalenka spoke openly about how Frangoulis had become her greatest source of support during that difficult period.<\/p>\n

Last summer, following her triumphant US Open victory, Aryna Sabalenka took a step back from the tennis court to recharge in Greece<\/a>. She took to Instagram to express her love for\u00a0Greece<\/a>, sharing a series of photos from her recent trip. She posted a series of photos from her vacation, which included a tender moment with her boyfriend, Giorgos Fragoulis, sharing a kiss.<\/p>\n

Georgios Frangoulis: \u201cI consider myself 100% Greek.\u201d<\/h2>\n

Born and raised in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, with roots in Thessaloniki<\/a>, Greece, Frangoulis initially studied law at FAAP (Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Armando Alvares Penteado) in 2014. However, as he revealed in a 2023 Forbes Brazil interview, he never finished his degree or sat for the bar exam, knowing his true calling lay elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always knew I wouldn\u2019t be a lawyer,\u201d Frangoulis said. \u201cWhat I really wanted was to be an entrepreneur.\u201d<\/p>\n

He certainly succeeded. Frangoulis founded Oakberry<\/a>, an a\u00e7a\u00ed-focused superfood brand, in December 2016. The company quickly gained popularity for its a\u00e7a\u00ed bowls and smoothies, expanding rapidly to over 700 locations across more than 40 countries. In late 2023, the brand secured $67 million in funding, cementing its position as a leader in the global superfood market.<\/p>\n

The brand entered the Greek market in 2024, a move that was deeply important to the founder. Speaking to newmoney.gr, Frangoulis emphasized his connection to his heritage: \u201cI am Greek, so there was no way I would be doing business in 45 countries and not include Greece. Even if I lost money here\u2014which is not the case, of course\u2014I wouldn\u2019t have skipped it. I consider myself 100% Greek.\u201d<\/p>\n
