Tennis Star Kasatkina Announces Engagement to Girlfriend Zabiiako

Tennis star Daria Kasatkina recently announced her engagement to her longtime girlfriend, former Olympic figure skater Natalia Zabiiako, during Pride Month. Kasatkina, who switched her sporting allegiance to Australia in 2025 due to safety concerns related to her sexuality and political stance, shared a photo of Zabiiako's hand adorned with a diamond ring on Instagram, captioned "And just like that." The couple, who have been public about their relationship since 2022 and frequently share vlogs about their life on the tennis tour, received widespread congratulations from the tennis community. Kasatkina continues to compete under the Australian flag, having debuted at the 2025 Charleston Open, and recently played at Roland Garros, where she reached the fourth round. Her move to Australia was motivated by a desire to be openly gay and to feel safe, a step she described as essential to being true to herself. The engagement marks a celebratory milestone for the couple amid Kasatkina's ongoing tennis career and advocacy for LGBTQIA+ visibility.
