Newly-engaged Felix Auger-Aliassime says he won't allow Frances Tiafoe to make a speech at his wedding

Felix Auger-Aliassime recently got engaged to his Croatian girlfriend, Nina Ghaibi, on November 29, 2024, and wedding bells are on the horizon for the couple. In a lighthearted moment, the Canadian tennis star joked that he wouldn’t let his friend Frances Tiafoe give a speech at the wedding if his parents were present.

Auger-Aliassime began dating Ghaibi on March 22, 2019. She is also the cousin of Australian tennis star Ajla Tomljanovic and an accomplished equestrian. She has participated in international equestrian competitions, including the 2017 Moroccan Royal Tour.

In a recent interview shared on the United Cup's official Instagram page, Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime and Leylah Fernandez took part in a fun quiz round together. During the session, Fernandez playfully asked Auger-Aliassime a cheeky question about his future wedding.

“Felix, you recently got engaged. Which tennis player would you not let give a speech at your wedding? Who has the dirtiest secret of you?” she jokingly asked.

Auger-Aliassime chuckled as he admitted that not many people had secrets about him. However, he wasn’t entirely confident about his longtime friend, Frances Tiafoe as he might end up cracking an embarrassing joke about him right in front of his parents.

“Not many people have secrets on me but….Maybe Frances. There’s a time to not joke around, you know when the whole family is there,” the Canadian replied.

Felix Auger-Aliassime and Leylah Fernandez teamed up to represent Canada in the mixed doubles event at the 2025 United Cup. On Sunday, December 29, they faced off against the American duo of Taylor Fritz and Coco Gauff but lost 6-7(2), 5-7.

Felix Auger-Aliassime and his fiancée, Nina Ghaibi, often visited Togo in West Africa. The country holds a special place in Auger-Aliassime's heart, as his father, Sam, is of African descent and emigrated to Canada from Togo.

In December 2022, Ghaibi and Auger-Aliassime visited Togo together for the first time. During the trip, Ghaibi shared several pictures, capturing moments surrounded by the people of Togo. In her Instagram post, she expressed how much the visit meant to her, writing:

“Surrounded by goodness 🇹🇬❤️ Togo holds a special place in my heart now”

In 2024, the couple returned to the country, seeking a refreshing break after a busy year. During their recent visit on November 21, they were spotted playing games and having fun with local children.

Ghaibi again shared her experience in an Instagram post, writing:

"Another Togo trip in the books filled with the most joyous, generous and inspiring groups of people I’ve witnessed 🙏🏽❤️," she wrote on Instagram.

Auger-Aliassime donates $5 to charity for every point he scores on the court to support youth programs and education in Togo. With additional contributions from his sponsors, the initiative has raised over $356,000 to improve opportunities for young people in the country.
