Tennis Power Couple Tsitsipas & Badosa Split Amid Toxic Claims

The highly publicized romance between tennis players Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa has officially concluded following a series of difficult breakups. The couple first went public with their relationship in 2023, quickly becoming a fan favorite duo known as 'Tsitsidosa.' However, their relationship was plagued by challenges including injuries and demanding professional schedules.

After an initial split in 2024 and a brief reconciliation, the pair ultimately parted ways again in 2025. Tsitsipas' mother, Julia Salnikova, later revealed that the relationship was complex from its inception, compounded by both players’ physical and emotional struggles and the difficulties of a long-distance dynamic.

In June 2026, Badosa shed light on the emotional impact of their separation, particularly after a significant win in Berlin. She alluded to an intensely "toxic" environment within the relationship, acknowledging the media attention her comments would generate. She stated, "He deserves it," referring to the public discourse.

Stefanos Tsitsipas has since moved on and is now in a public relationship with Kristen Thoms. Their romance was announced in January 2026 through a YouTube vlog documenting a trip to Namibia. Thoms, a former collegiate athlete, is now a consistent presence supporting Tsitsipas, with the couple opting for increased privacy following the intense media attention surrounding his past relationship.
