The tennis world shifted its focus off the courts this week to celebrate a special milestone: the wedding of Madison Keys and Bjorn Fratangelo. The couple, who began dating in 2017 and got engaged in March last year, tied the knot on November 23 in Charleston, surrounded by friends, family, and a lively crew of tennis stars.
While the ceremony was heartwarming, the reception saw the spotlight stolen by none other than Keys’ best friend and fellow tennis star, Sloane Stephens. In a clip shared by Taylor Townsend on Instagram, Stephens was seen joyfully grooving to Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode.” Dressed in an elegant white outfit, she performed a carefree happy dance, with Townsend humorously captioning the moment, “@sloanaestephens rare 2 step.”
Townsend, another WTA star, played a key role in capturing the festivities for fans. She shared candid moments with Jennifer Brady, Desirae Krawczyk, and Jessica Pegula, who humorously embraced her role as the group’s unofficial “paparazzi.” One memorable post featured Townsend alongside the bride, Pegula, and Brady, captioned, “Let’s get this girl married.”
Keys, who has always been private about her relationship with Fratangelo, couldn’t hide her happiness as she embarked on this new chapter. While the spotlight often shines on her achievements on the court, this time it was all about celebrating love, friendship, and joy off the court.
