Kasatkina Marries Natalia Zabiiako in Greek Seaside Ceremony

Her 2022 coming-out and 2025 decision to compete for Australia for safety reasons give the wedding wider significance for LGBTQ+ visibility in elite sport.

Overview

  • The couple held an intimate waterside wedding in Greece in mid-July 2026 after Kasatkina finished the grass-court season and Wimbledon.
  • Photos and Instagram posts from the celebration show a guest list of current WTA players including Mirra Andreeva, Kamilla Rakhimova, Arina Rodionova, and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
  • Kasatkina proposed to Zabiiako in June 2025 and the pair, who have publicly shared their relationship for several years, married about a year later.
  • Kasatkina publicly came out in 2022 and in early 2025 switched her sporting allegiance from Russia to Australia, saying she no longer felt safe in Russia because of anti-LGBTQ laws and her opposition to the war in Ukraine.
  • Zabiiako is a 2018 Olympic pairs silver medallist and the couple produce a travel vlog together, a public profile that has amplified their visibility and drawn broad support from the tennis community.
