Recently, Stefanos Tsitsipas revealed that he and his girlfriend, Paula Badosa, are back on a positive note. Almost a year after their relationship started in 2023, Badosa announced their breakup a few weeks ago.
Tsitsipas, who also offered input on the rumours surrounding their brief breakup, has revealed that the two have reconnected after recently splitting up.
In a recent interview, Tsitsipas said: “We’re together. I will explain why some people make up different stories about us. Not that I care, but I think people shouldn’t take it that way. Neither Paula did anything wrong, nor did I do anything wrong. It was hard for us to be apart and I was going through some hard times too. I would say that I didn’t manage it very well either, because I was feeling the pressure of the tour, and my work. It seemed like a mountain to combine these two (personal and professional life) and I decided to take a break.”
He added: “After two or three weeks, I realized that she is a person who has supported me a lot and when she tried to talk to me about meeting, I felt how intense the love we have for each other is. I realized that this relationship I have with Paula is completely different from any other relationship I have had in the past, I feel that she is my person and we understand each other. And that puts more value in everything I do and I want her by my side as often as possible. So yes, we’ve reconnected and we’re in a good moment.”
