Sabalenka had arrived in Brisbane, Australia, to kick off her 2025 season as World No. 1 a few days ago. Ahead of her matches, the Belarusian spent time exploring the city with Frangulis, and the couple enjoyed a glamorous date night.

The 26-year-old had donned an olive midi dress paired with a Loro Piana bag and Audemars Piguet watch. However, fans were quick to notice two sparkling rings on her left hand, sparking speculation about a possible engagement. For days, the speculation made rounds before Sabalenka quashed it on New Year's Day.
