Aryna Sabalenka Announces Engagement to Oakberry Founder Georgios Frangulis

The surprise proposal precedes her Indian Wells return after weeks of playful hints.

Overview

  • A video posted to Instagram dated March 3 shows Frangulis kneeling in a candle‑ and flower‑filled setting as Sabalenka accepts with a diamond ring on display.
  • Sabalenka said she had “no idea” the proposal was coming, sharing that she was dressed casually in a white T‑shirt, jeans and flip‑flops.
  • Congratulatory messages poured in from top athletes, including Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Coco Gauff, Ben Shelton and Amanda Anisimova.
  • Frangulis is the founder and CEO of the global açaí brand Oakberry and is described in reports as a multimillionaire; the couple went public in 2024.
  • The announcement comes as the world No. 1 resumes competition at Indian Wells following her Australian Open final run, having previously joked in January that she hoped to ‘call [her boyfriend] something else’ soon.
