Aryna Sabalenka, the world-renowned tennis star, has recently been in the spotlight not just for her impressive performances on the court but also for her new relationship with Georgios Frangulis. So, who is the man who has captured the heart of this tennis sensation?
Georgios Frangulis is a Brazilian entrepreneur known for founding Oakberry, a global superfood brand specializing in açaí products. Born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, Frangulis initially pursued a degree in law at FAAP (Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado). However, his passion for entrepreneurship led him to establish Oakberry in December 2016. The brand quickly gained popularity for its nutritious and delicious açaí bowls and smoothies, expanding to over 700 stores in more than 40 countries.
Frangulis’s journey with Oakberry is deeply connected to his Brazilian heritage, particularly the Amazon rainforest, where açaí berries are harvested. His dedication to promoting healthy eating and sustainable practices has made Oakberry a favorite among health-conscious consumers worldwide.
The relationship between Sabalenka and Frangulis became public in May 2024, when Sabalenka shared a picture of them together on Instagram. Since then, the couple has been seen supporting each other in their respective careers. Sabalenka has even taken on an active role as an ambassador for Oakberry, creating her own signature açaí bowl for the brand.
Their relationship comes after a difficult period for Sabalenka, who tragically lost her former boyfriend, Konstantin Koltsov, in March 2024. Despite the challenges, Sabalenka and Frangulis have found joy and support in each other, blending their personal and professional lives seamlessly.
Georgios Frangulis is not just a successful businessman but also a supportive partner to Sabalenka. His entrepreneurial spirit, combined with his commitment to health and sustainability, makes him a fascinating figure in his own right. Together, Sabalenka and Frangulis form a dynamic duo, cheering each other on as they navigate their respective paths.
