Since then they have been navigating the ebbs and flows of life on the international tennis circuit.

In an April 2024 video for Tennis TV, the lovebirds revealed that they kept their romance a secret in the early stages of the relationship.

Katie, 28, and Alex, 25, said that in order to keep their relationship hidden, they would have breakfast at separate tables. 

“We would rock down to breakfast at different times,” Alex said. “[It was often] different times, like 10 minutes later.”

However, their profiles skyrocketed in early 2024 as they competed at the Australian Open.

Taking a break from training and competing, the couple were seen looking all loved up in Melbourne as they headed to a restaurant. Later they strolled arm in arm through the city streets.

“They looked like they were totally in love,” an onlooker told New Idea at the time.

The glamour couple took to social media on December 23rd that year, sharing a smiley selfie they had taken at an unspecified time, Katie’s dazzling engagement ring on full display.

“We’ve been keeping a small secret…🤭” they captioned the photo.

While a date for the wedding hasn’t yet been set, at the 2025 Australian Open, Alex joked that he needed to focus on “more wins” meaning “more money” and therefore “more wedding budget” in a post-match interview.

“When I’m out there on court and you see me so stressed out, I’m just thinking of the wedding budget,” he laughed.
