Madison Keys and her fiance, Bjorn Fratangelo, recently shared pictures from their long-awaited engagement photoshoot. The couple, who got engaged in March 2023, chose the historic French Quarter district in Charleston, South Carolina, as the backdrop for the session.
Keys and Fratangelo have been dating since 2017, and have supported each other through their ups and downs on the court.
Keys is currently ranked No. 12 in the world and has won seven WTA titles in her career. Fratangelo, who won the boys’ singles title at the 2011 French Open, is ranked No. 692 in the world and largely plays on the ATP Challenger Tour.
Keys posted the photos on her Instagram account on Monday, December 4. The couple looked happy and relaxed in their engagement photos, which showed them posing in front of various landmarks in the French Quarter.
"We finally have some photos together! 💍🤗" Keya captioned her post.
Keys had previously expressed her ‘jealousy’ over the photos of another tennis couple, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa. Tsitsipas and Badosa have been dating since earlier this year and have frequently shared their romantic moments on social media.
The couple has posted several stunning photos of themselves in various locations, such as New York, Paris, and Mallorca. They have also created a joint Instagram account, called Tsitsidosa, where they have close to 94,000 followers.
“I do think that their content has been far more organized than Bjorn and I. They've pumped out a lot more than we have in going on six years. So I'm honestly a little bit jealous, Bjorn and I have virtually no photos together and that seems like it's not an issue for them, which is great,” Madison Keys told Tennis Channel in July 2023.
