Meet Cameron Norrie's girlfriend Louise Jacobi – not Emma Raducanu: despite speculation, the British Wimbledon quarter-finalist has been dating the Chicago-born interior designer since 2019

Cameron Norrie, 29, has advanced to the Wimbledon quarter-finals after a challenging five-set victory over Chilean qualifier Nicolás Jarry. It marks Norrie's second time reaching the Wimbledon quarter-finals, making him only the third British man in the last 50 years to achieve the feat more than once – the other two being Tim Henman and Andy Murray, according to The Independent.

'Apart from everyone here loving tennis, some of the gossip has been about who Emma Raducanu is dating,' the reporter said. 'Can I ask if you're dating her? Can we get to the bottom of this please?' Advertisement 'Sorry?' Norrie replied, confused. 'I'm not, no. You can ask her, though. You can ask her.' What perhaps made the question even more inappropriate was the fact that Norrie has a long-term girlfriend, Louise Jacobi – a talented fashion designer and entrepreneur who's been by his side since 2019, per Hello! Magazine. Here is everything you need to know about the tennis ace's glamorous girlfriend. How did Cameron Norrie meet Louise Jacobi?

'When he asked me, I thought, 'I guess this guy doesn't live a normal life, and it's not like I can meet [him] down the street and go to dinner together,'' she said. 'So I went on this trip and was only supposed to be in Vienna for five days, and things just went really well.' Coincidentally, Jacobi had just been laid off at the time, which allowed them to build the foundation of their relationship before Covid-19 hit. Vienna is a special place for Louise Jacobi and Cameron Norrie. Photo: @weezcobi/Instagram Last October, the couple returned to the city where they had their first date. 'Vienna was the first tennis tournament I ever went to,' Jacobi shared in a sweet Instagram post. 'Who would have thought I'd still be coming here five years later?

Fed up with Tinder? How elite matchmaking is making a comeback as dating apps lose favour

Frustrated with dating apps, singles are shelling out for high-end matchmaking. Advertisement 'We had our biggest month of sales in the history of the company last month, and we've been around for 15 years,' says Adam Cohen-Aslatei, CEO of the US-based matchmaking service Three Day Rule. 'Our business is not shrinking.' He is not alone. Demand for personalised dating services is growing, according to companies interviewed, with clients citing 'app fatigue' and a desire for meaningful connection as the motivation for ditching the swipes. Matchmakers aim to find compatible romantic partners for serious relationships or marriage. Members are vetted before a first date, with checks on criminal and marriage records, and often get paired by preferences such as height or religion. The service is back in the cultural zeitgeist with Materialists, a film about a high-powered matchmaker (Dakota Johnson) torn between a wealthy suitor (Pedro Pascal) and a poor one (Chris Evans) in her own love life. The film was written by director Celine Song, who once worked as a matchmaker in New York. Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal in a scene from Materialists.

Baring the legs is in vogue, but how to best care for them? They're a key part of Beyoncé, Lisa, Sabrina Carpenter and Hailey Bieber's outfits, but many of us don't maintain ours properly

We've been taught to treat our face like the crown jewel of skincare – exfoliated, serumed, SPF'd within an inch of its life. Legs, on the other hand, tend to fall into the 'I'll deal with them later' category. Despite overflowing beauty shelves, our legs go about their business largely ignored, carrying us around for the whole day, yet quietly accepting a patchwork of dry skin, razor nicks and forgotten promises of body oil. For many of us, they have slipped out of the spotlight. For some though, they're stealing it. Beyoncé has often worn outfits that bared her entire legs, such as here at the 2013 Pepsi Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans. /AFP Whether on red carpets or concert stages, legs can be statements of strength, sensuality and style. Think Sabrina Carpenter's pantless Louis Vuitton suit at the 2025 Met Gala , or Hailey Bieber's two-part lesson in leg-forward styling – first in a Saint Laurent mini blazer dress, then at the after-party in a corset minidress by designer Dilara Findikoglu.

Think back to Tina Turner, whose famously insured legs and high-hemmed fringe dresses became a signature as unmistakable as her voice. Short skirts and dresses baring her legs were a signature of US rock legend Tina Turner's look. Photo: AP Or that now-historic moment when Angelina Jolie's right leg achieved internet immortality on the 2012 Oscars' red carpet. Pop culture has never been shy about celebrating legs, but offstage outside the spotlight, for the most part, leg care tends to be reactive, driven by the needs of weather, wardrobe or the occasional last-minute event. Angelina Jolie strikes that much-talked-about leg-baring pose ahead of the 2012 Oscars. Photo: AP Like the skin on our face, the skin on our legs is constantly changing. It loses hydration, elasticity and density with time, especially around the knees and thighs. 'The skin on our legs does have different needs,' says Dr Shamsa Kanwal, consultant dermatologist at myHSteam. 'It's typically thicker and drier than facial skin, and it has fewer oil glands, which means it's more prone to dryness and irritation, especially after shaving or during colder months.' She also explains that, since legs also experience more friction from clothing and shaving, they benefit from hydrating, barrier-repairing and gentle exfoliating routines.
