Tennis superstar Coco Gauff has kept fans guessing about her love life for years, quietly dating a person close to her but choosing to keep the relationship under wraps —until now. The 20-year-old US Open champion has gone public with her relationship with Jalen Sera, confirming what many fans had suspected all along: the two have been together for quite some time.
The announcement came in a sweet Instagram post, where Gauff and Sera were pictured smiling together on a vacation getaway, marking their first official appearance as a couple. The photo quickly went viral, prompting a huge wave of messages from fans, fellow athletes, and friends who were delighted to see Gauff happy and in love.
Jalen Sera, a 23-year-old student and aspiring musician, has kept a low profile, choosing to stay away from the media glare that typically follows superstar relationships. His decision to remain in the background was a joint choice made by the couple in order to let Gauff focus on her career without distractions —until now.
“It feels really nice to be able to share this side of my life openly. Jalen has been a huge part of my happiness and my success on the court. He kept me grounded and supported me through all the tough moments, without ever needing the spotlight for himself. I’m grateful for him every day,” Gauff said in a brief statement alongside the photo.
Fans were quick to celebrate the couple’s happiness, sending messages of love and encouragement across social media. The relationship reveal highlights not only Gauff’s maturity and confidence off the court but also underscores the strong support system she has as she strives for further success in her already remarkable career.
As Gauff prepares for the next grand slam and focuses on adding more titles to her name, having Jalen Sera by her side promises to be a key piece of stability in her future — both on and off the court.
