Grigor is a professional tennis player who spends a considerable amount of time competing on the ATP Tour.

Born in Bulgaria on May 16, 1991, Grigor has not yet claimed a major Grand Slam title. However, he has certainly captured the interest of some of Hollywood`s most beautiful stars.

Speculation surrounding Grigor`s romantic life re-emerged in recent months following rumours of a developing relationship with actress Eiza Gonzalez.

The world No. 21 and the Hollywood star Eiza publicly confirmed their relationship in April at the Madrid Open.

The tennis player received a congratulatory kiss on the cheek from Eiza after his victory over Nicolas Jarry, which secured his spot in the fourth round.

The actress, aged 35, gained prominence as Monica ‘Darling’ Costello in the successful 2017 film Baby Driver, alongside Ansel Elgort.

Originating from Mexico, the actress known for her role in Hobbs & Shaw first achieved popularity in Spanish-language television and movies before moving to Hollywood.

As of now, there has been no official confirmation regarding their relationship status.

Madalina Ghenea (2023)

Before beginning his relationship with Eiza, Grigor had been single for over a year, following the conclusion of his relationship with Madalina Ghenea.

The Bulgarian tennis player started dating Madalina at the beginning of 2023.

Throughout their time together, the Romanian model and actress was often seen supporting her partner during significant matches of his career.

Despite her busy schedule, which included starring as Sophia Loren in the film House of Gucci and alongside Ed Westwick in Deep Fear, she was frequently seen courtside.

Nicole Scherzinger (2015-2019)

Grigor and the former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger began dating in 2015, with their relationship becoming publicly known in 2016.

Nicole is no stranger to dating figures from the sports world, having previously been in a long-term relationship with Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton and currently dating former rugby international Thom Evans.

However, from the moment their relationship was revealed, they faced intense scrutiny and constant rumours about whether they were still together.

Their relationship was constantly affected by busy schedules and numerous break-up rumours, eventually coming to an end in 2019.

Maria Sharapova (2012-2015)

Given the demands of life on the tour, dating a fellow tennis player might seem like an attractive option due to shared understanding of difficult schedules.

For this reason, the long-term relationship between Maria Sharapova and Grigor appeared to be a “perfect match.”

The couple started dating in 2012, and their relationship became public in 2013.

At the time, the highest-paid female athlete in the world was five years older than Grigor, who was only 23 during their relationship.

Nevertheless, after three years together, the couple decided to separate due to their “split paths.”

Serena Williams (2012)

While this relationship is mainly based on fan speculation, Serena Williams was rumoured to be dating the tennis star in 2012.
