Nick Kyrgios: Tennis ace partners with adult film stars Rachel Starr and Sophie Stonehouse on OnlyFans TV
While the tennis world takes centre stage at Wimbledon, Nick Kyrgios is on a very different court — and not just metaphorically. The former world number 13 has swapped rackets for reality TV, fronting a new OnlyFans series alongside adult entertainers Rachel Starr and Sophie Stonehouse. Before the curious raise their eyebrows: no, this isn't spicy content. The show, Smash City, launched last month on OnlyFans TV and features a pickleball competition with eight creators vying for a $20,000 prize. Promoted as a 'pickleball competition where one person is left standing at the end', the series already has fans wondering if Kyrgios is officially in his post-tennis entertainment era. Loading Instagram Post The career detour comes just months after Kyrgios' split from longtime girlfriend Costeen Hatzi, who confirmed in May the pair were no longer speaking. Their relationship unfolded largely in the public eye — including joint media interviews and viral TikToks — with Kyrgios even teasing marriage plans. Hatzi, too, hinted at family aspirations, telling followers the couple had 'definitely had conversations.' 'We love each other. (But) there's no rush. It'll happen when it happens,' she said. 'Nick tells me every day that he wants a baby.' But earlier this year, the cracks began to show. In March, Hatzi posted a photo series with a pointed caption: 'The photos are good when the photographer isn't secretly jealous.' The pair had often swapped roles behind the lens, with Kyrgios regularly acting as her 'boyfriend of Instagram' on luxury holidays and brand shoots. Hatzi in May revealed the pair are no longer on speaking terms. Now, with his Wimbledon return off the table and his personal life firmly in the rearview, Kyrgios is chasing a different kind of title — this time, on the courts of Smash City.

'Who's ready?': Aussie tennis star Nick Kyrgios shocks fans by announcing OnlyFans partnership following split from girlfriend
Nick Kyrgios has shocked fans by announcing a new gig with Only Fans TV (OFTV) just months after splitting from his long-term girlfriend. The 30-year-old Aussie tennis player has partnered with streaming platform OnlyFans TV to co-host a new reality series titled Smash City. Joining adult film star Rachel Starr and TV personality Sophie Stonehouse, Kyrgios fronts the four-part show, which pits eight OnlyFans creators against each other in a series of high-stakes pickleball games for a $20,000 prize. "Who's ready to smash?" OFTV captioned the promotional video for the series, which launched on June 13. The former world number 13, who became a part-owner of the Major League Pickleball team Miami Pickleball Club last year, is no stranger to the platform, having signed up to OnlyFans in 2023. "I enjoyed hosting it, and I love competition in general," Kyrgios told Complex in May. "Pickleball for me is very close to tennis, so that instantly caught my interest." As for his own account on the site, the Wimbledon finalist said he values being able to share more of his personal world without venturing into explicit territory. "I think the perception of OnlyFans is slowly changing," he said. "I'm able to share a lot more of my personal life. I always do a lot of tennis content, but there's also things that I do in the gym and in my everyday life. "I'm able to give my fans what they want." The career pivot comes just months after Kyrgios confirmed his split from his girlfriend of four years, influencer Costeen Hatzi, in April. The pair had started dating in 2021 after meeting via Instagram when Hatzi was selling a mirror. Following their breakup, the 25-year-old told the Daily Telegraph on April 8 that "life's been good". "I'm still going on with work and I have a few different brands that I'm working with at the moment," Hatzi said. "I'm grateful to have this life and hopefully keep on going." Around the same time, Kyrgios also announced he would miss Wimbledon for the third consecutive year, due to ongoing injury issues. He hasn't competed at the tournament since losing to Novak Djokovic in the 2022 final. "Just wanted to give everyone a quick update- I've hit a small setback in my recovery and unfortunately won't make it back for grass season this year," he wrote on Instagram in June. "This is just a bump in the road, though, and I'm already working hard to get back stronger than ever." While sidelined from the court, Kyrgios has continued his commentary work, though this year he was snubbed by the BBC for Wimbledon coverage. "It's unfortunate but it's probably their loss more than mine," he told The Guardian on June 21. "When someone's beaten Federer, Nadal, Murray and Djokovic and has incredible insights, it's very strange you wouldn't want that person adding knowledge to tennis fans." Instead, Kyrgios shifted focus to his own YouTube podcast 'Good Trouble with Nick Kyrgios', hosting a live show in London just days before the start of the tournament with Scottish broadcaster Gordon Smart.

Nick Kyrgios partners up with adult film star for new OnlyFans content
Nick Kyrgios isn't partaking in Wimbledon, instead the Aussie is using up his time on a different court with an adult film star alongside. The former world number 13 has partnered up with Rachel Starr and fellow adult actor Sophie Stonehouse for brand new OnlyFans content. Watch the biggest Aussie sports & the best from overseas LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. No it isn't spicy content, instead the three are hosting a new series for OnlyFans TV titled Smash City which launched its first season last month. The four-episode show is set to be a pickleball-based competition and will see eight OnlyFans creators compete for $20,000 in a variety of pickleball games. Starr has been promoting the series on her Instagram account, writing that the competition is 'a pickleball competition where one person is left standing at the end'. The new OnlyFans TV show was announced earlier this year and comes after Kyrgios and girlfriend Costeen Hatzi called time on their four-year relationship in April. The pair began dating in 2021 after linking up through Instagram when Hatzi was selling a mirror. Hatzi, 25, appeared to give Kyrgios a social-media slap in March when she posed for a series of photos shared on TikTok. The photos included a watermark caption: 'The photos are good when the photographer isn't secretly jealous'. Kyrgios has at times been the tragic 'boyfriends of Insta' photographer behind some of Hatzi's ritzy influencer posts and selfie shots. It is a sad end to a relationship that had previously sparked marriage and baby rumours. Things took off for the couple less than a year into dating with Kyrgios hinting multiple times his plans to one day marry Hatzi. The duo sent tongues wagging in 2022 following sightings of Hatzi sporting a diamond ring on her engagement finger. Last year Hatzi opened up in a wide-ranging interview where she spoke about the rumours of the two tying the knot and starting a family. She said they've 'definitely had conversations'. 'We love each other. (But) there's no rush. It'll happen when it happens,' she said. 'Nick tells me every day that he wants a baby.'

Nick Kyrgios takes next step with reality TV star
Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has decided to embrace his 'bad boy' label in his new life without social media influencer Costeen Hatzi. The relationship between Hatzi and Kyrgios broke down at the end of March, closing the curtain on a romance that started in 2021. Now Kyrgios is moving on, however, and is set to feature in a new show with reality TV star Sophie Stonehouse (of Too Hot To Handle fame). The show is called Smash City and is based around a pickleball competition ... but there is an adult-theme twist and it is being hyped as 'spicy entertainment'. It will be a four-part series with eight OnlyFans celebrities involved, playing various pickleball games (that will be 'silly and suggestive') for $20,000. Kyrgios and Stonehouse are hosting, while adult actress Rachel Starr will umpire the games. Nick Kyrgios with adult actress Rachel Starr and reality TV star Sophie Stonehouse. Credit: OFTV The eight OnlyFans creators involved are reality show contestants Nathan Webb and Joey Joy (also Too Hot to Handle), sports stars Adi Spiegelman (a former professional tennis player and model) and Sachia Vickery (US tennis player), and models Nellie Cronen, Kayla Fitzgerald, Trippie Bri, and Steph Mi. The show has a launch date of June 13. Meanwhile, questions are being asked about the company Kyrgios has recently been keeping. Just yesterday, Kyrgios made headlines after featuring in a photo with rapper Ay Huncho. The photo was taken at the Frucition nightclub in Canberra earlier this month, and it sparked headlines because Ay Huncho is allegedly a member of an underworld clan in Sydney. 'Keep waiting on it @ayhuncho,' Kyrgios captioned the photo, which Ay Huncho re-shared. Ay Huncho real name is Ali Younes. Younes is out on $1.8 million bail as he faces kidnapping and assault charges and was also involved in a fight at Parklea Correctional Centre in June last year. In the property game, Kyrgios is hoping to fetch close to $2m for the three-bedroom, two-bathroom rooftop unit with access to a pool in Kensington, which he bought for $1.6m in 2022. The asking price for the unit he used as his Sydney base is $1.8m. The woman he had been spending his time there with in the Harbour city, Hatzi, said she had moved on from the troubled sports star. 'I'm loving my work and doing content every day,' she told The Herald Sun. 'We haven't spoken. Relationships come to an end. I believe it's for the best. 'I hope he finds peace and happiness within himself.' On the court, Kyrgios is set to play in the French Open for the first time in eight years in the doubles draw with Jordan Thompson. He is not expected to head to Roland Garros until later this month, having last played there in a second-round loss in 2017. - With The Nightly
