Even though Coco Gauff hasn't hard-launched her relationship on her social media platforms, she has confirmed the existence of a boyfriend during many of her interviews. In an interview with Vogue in March 2024, she dropped hints about the identity of the person she was dating.

"He’s a very nice guy. He’s in school now. He’s about to apply for music school. He wants to be an actor and he plays the guitar. He’s not from Delray. He’s actually from Atlanta," she said.

She had also revealed during that time how the speculations of the people on the internet led them close to identifying who he was.

"And actually, um, I will say this: People on Twitter (X) found him two or three days ago. I won’t respond and confirm if it’s him or not, but they caught me in the comments, so they know. Some people thought it was someone in tennis and that couldn’t be further from the truth," she added.

Her interview also hinted at her boyfriend being one of the prominent support systems in her life, as she also revealed reaching out to him during midnight dilemmas.
