Costeen Hatzi is carving out her own path as more than just the partner of Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios. At 24, she’s focused on building her own identity alongside her high-profile relationship, which began in late 2021.
In a recent interview with WHO, Hatzi said, “I think it’s super important as a woman and as a girlfriend to have your own thing going on.”
“It’s really easy to get lost and caught up in your partner’s life, especially if they’re a global athlete. It’s important for me to have my own life and my own goals, too,” she added.
Hatzi runs Style Studio Dress Hire and engages in brand collaborations. Though she had little interest in tennis before meeting Kyrgios, she now enjoys travelling with him, especially during his US Open commentary stint in New York.
“It really is amazing because I get to experience all these different countries and cities and cultures. It’s pretty cool,” she said.
Asked if a wedding proposal was imminent, she answered: “I mean, I’m still pretty young. I’m only 24.”
“He’s 30 next year, so he’s a little bit older – but there’s no rush. Still, if he did propose, I wouldn’t say no,” she added.
As they approach their three-year anniversary, Hatzi reflected on their relationship.
“It’s coming up to three years at the end of this year, which is crazy because it feels like I’ve just met him, but also like I’ve known him my whole life,” she said.
