Tennis star Nick Kyrgios wrote a heartfelt birthday message to Costeen Hatzi, his girlfriend of nearly three years. This is not just Costeen’s birthday but also the anniversary of his dear grandmother’s passing, Kyrgios disclosed.
Although life may be unpredictable, 29-year-old Kyrgios acknowledged this in an emotional message, adding that he believes his grandmother would be pleased with the person he has chosen to manage this life with.
Kyrgios wrote on Instagram: “This life is a roller coaster. Last year, on this day, my grandma was taken from me. She was an incredible person and had a habit of making everyone feel included and making sure no one ever went hungry, I try to be as generous as her with my care towards others. As one door closes, another opens. Today is also the birthday of my beautiful partner, @costeenhatzi, who somehow, against all odds, has made it all make sense to me. I’m sure Yiayia would be proud of who I have become and also of who I have decided to go through this life with. Rest easy, Yiayia; happy birthday, beautiful.”
