Belinda Bencic has offered a glimpse of her boyfriend, Martin Hromkovic, spending time with their baby daughter, Bella. The Spanish player gave birth to her daughter on April 23, 2024.
Bencic announced her pregnancy in November 2023, with her boyfriend and trainer, Hromkovic. She shared a picture of herself and her partner holding a pair of baby shoes.
"Expecting our little miracle soon! We can't wait to meet you," Belinda Bencic wrote.
Bencic announced the news on social media a day later. She frequently shares updates about Bella. Today, she uploaded a picture on her Instagram story of Hromkovic enjoying his time with their child by holding her up in the air in a restaurant:
The Swiss is set to return at the end of October to compete in the Billie Jean King Cup.
Belinda Bencic opens up about her return to the tennis court after maternity leave
In a conversation with Blick.ch, Belina Bencic opened up about returning to the tennis court after maternity leave.
"It was a conscious decision to become a mother now," Belinda Bencic said. "And it was clear that I would come back afterwards. I'm 27, I feel good, I still have a few good years on tour ahead of me. I'm very happy with how we're doing it.
The goal is still the Billie Jean King Cup in November. Playing tennis is like riding a bike, you don't forget it. But I still need to get fitter. I'm also breastfeeding. That's something you have to take into account. Martin is adjusting my fitness plan accordingly. My body feels good."
Bencic started dating Hromkovic in November 2018. They share updates about each other on social media. She opened up about her relationship and said:
"It came a little unexpected, but it's an ideal situation. When I work on fitness in Slovakia, we can be together. As a tennis professional, relationships are so difficult. I do not see my best friend until half a year later. You never see another tennis player. A man waiting at home - no chance! Martin wants the best for me privately and professionally. He often travels, I'm very grateful for his support.
Fortunately, we can separate private and professional life well. When I work, I really see him as a coach. I hope it stays that way. For him, the job is done when I'm fit. Martin was an athlete himself, a footballer. So he understands well when I'm nervous or tense."
Bencic won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics and seven singles and two doubles titles on the WTA tour.
