"We have really nice, really good boundaries, and we both respect them" - Nick Kyrgios on his relationship with girlfriend Costeen Hatzi

Nick Kyrgios recently opened up about his relationship with his girlfriend Costeen Hatzi.

Kyrgios has been in a relationship with the Sydney-based blogger and social media influencer since December 2021. Hatzi has consistently shown her support for the former World No. 13, accompanying him to various tournaments across the globe.

Kyrgios recently made an appearance on the 'What Now? with Trevor Noah' podcast, where he talked about his girlfriend. He also talked about the challenges of being in a relationship amid constant media attention.

"Oh, I mean, first of all, being in a relationship and like it out, I guess for anyone that’s kind of in the limelight, it’s not easy at all. Like, it’s really hard. There’s a lot of eyes on your relationship. There’s a lot of people that have their opinions, and on social media, they're commenting this or that like a lot of garbage that gets kind of fueled into it," Kyrgios said (at 59:20).

Kyrgios added that he and Hatzi have a very understanding relationship, where they have established boundaries that they both respect.

"I think the best thing about my relationship is that we have really nice, really good boundaries, and we both respect them. We know that trust is really the only currency you have in a relationship. Once you break it, I think it’s really hard, especially in the limelight. Once it’s a little bit broken, it’s really too hard to fix. But she’s just present. I think that’s one thing that I say about my girlfriend," he said.

Kyrgios further stated that Hatzi is always there for him, regardless of the whirlwind of attention, both positive and negative, that comes with his life.

"She knows the whirlwind of my life. Like when I travel and when I’m in the spotlight and what I’m doing with negativity or positivity, and I'm winning and I’m stressed. She's just there. I just play in the biggest stadiums in the world, and I get back to the little hallway. She’s just waiting there, and she’s like, 'Yeah, you did really well,’ and it’s like she just sits there and she’s just like, ‘I’m proud of you,’ and we go home and will make food together. It's just like, I love the simplest of things," Kyrgios added.
