"We're together," Tsitsipas said (translated from Greek).
The couple was seen in Monte Carlo last week and reunited in Paris ahead of the 2024 French Open.
"I will explain why some people make up different stories about us. Not that I care, but I think people shouldn't take it that way. Neither Paula did anything wrong, nor did I do anything wrong. It was hard for us being apart and I was going through some hard times too."
"I would say that I didn't manage it very well either, because I was feeling the pressure of the tour, of my work," he added.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is seeded ninth at the clay-court Grand Slam and will be facing Marton Fucsovics in the first round on 26 May. Paula Badosa, on the other hand, will go against 26th seed Katie Boulter in the Paris opener.
