ARYNA Sabalenka will be hoping to crush the British public's dreams of having another Wimbledon champion on Friday, July 4, 2025. She faces Emma Raducanu in round three at the All England Club. Here's everything we know about her boyfriend Georgios Frangulis. 4 4 4 Belarusian tennis ace and world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka's previous boyfriend, hockey star Konstantin Koltsov, tragically passed away in March 2024. The two-time Olympian fell from his balcony in what the Miami-Dade Police Department described as "apparent suicide". The 42-year-old, who shared three children with his ex-wife Julija Mikhailova, had already split from Sabalenka before his passing. In a statement on Instagram, Aryna wrote: "Konstantin's death is an unthinkable tragedy and while we were no longer together, my heart is broken. "Please respect my privacy and his family's privacy during this difficult time." Four months later she went Instagram official with her current boyfriend Georgios Frangulis. Who is Georgios Frangulis? Georgios Frangulis was born in São Paulo on September 9, 1988. He is best known as the founder and CEO of Oakberry — a global açaí-based superfood brand. Açaí is the small, round, dark fruit of the açaí palm tree, native to the Amazon rainforest. The fruit is about the size of a grape, but with a much larger seed that makes up between 60 and 80 per cent of its weight. Georgios' family is originally from Thessaloniki, Greece. Despite growing up in South America, Georgios maintains a strong connection to his Greek roots. Georgios told the Greek Herald: 'I can say we were always a Greek family, in how we see the world, our values, and the way I was raised. I feel 100 per cent Greek.' He studied law at Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado in São Paulo, but chose not to pursue a legal career, explaining that he always aspired to be an entrepreneur rather than a lawyer. 4 Georgios said: 'I went to law school, but I'm an entrepreneur at heart. I always knew I would build a business and create something that would bring joy and good things to people.' After graduating in 2014, he moved to the US, living in Miami and Venice Beach, where he began to shape his vision for his superfood company. In 2016, Georgios launched Oakberry, which has since grown rapidly, boasting over 700 stores in more than 40 countries by 2025. Oakberry specialises in healthy, fast-food options centred around açaí bowls. The brand's global expansion has made Georgios a multimillionaire.
