“There comes a point where I had to make some tough decisions on and off the court. Sometimes with my coaching team, sometimes there were things I had to focus on outside of tennis. It’s life,” a reflective Grigor Dimitrov told The Athletic in 2024, looking back at the personal and professional shifts that have shaped him. While his 2025 season on the ATP Tour has been rocky, losing 9 of 23 matches and bowing out early at the Italian Open to local hope Francesco Passaro, his off-court life is soaring. And recently, a moment that stole the spotlight, Dimitrov’s girlfriend, actress Eiza González, made their relationship IG-official, prompting none other than Serena Williams to gush over the announcement. Wondering what the tennis legend had to say?
Grigor Dimitrov turned heads once again, this time not on the tennis court but on the red carpet, appearing alongside Hollywood actress Eiza González at the prestigious Cannes event hosted by the “Red Sea Film Foundation”. The duo graced the ‘Women in Cinema’ gala, held at the iconic Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’Antibes. The glamorous evening, organized in collaboration with Vanity Fair Europe, celebrated female achievements in global cinema, particularly highlighting contributions from the Arab world, Africa, and Asia. The event drew notable personalities from the worlds of film, fashion, and sports, with Dimitrov representing the tennis fraternity in style.
Eiza González dazzled in a breathtaking “Ludovic de Saint Sernin Fall 2025 Ready-To-Wear” gown, effortlessly commanding attention throughout the evening. Beside her, Grigor Dimitrov looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo, exuding poise and elegance. As cameras flashed and the couple posed gracefully, their public appearance sparked buzz, especially in light of Eiza’s recent social media post officially embracing their relationship.
On 16th May, Eiza, 35, shared a heartfelt IG post celebrating Dimitrov’s 34th birthday, complete with stunning photos from the evening. “Happiest bday to the man of my dreams. @grigordimitrov you’re one of one. You’re truly my absolutely favorite human ever, and I can’t believe I’ve been lucky enough to find you. You’ve restored so much in me I didn’t think was possible. To the kindest most thoughtful man, I admire every inch of the human you are and you are becoming. I cannot wait to celebrate many many more forever. I love you G. ,” she wrote. And guess what? None other than Serena Williams. Williams, who was rumored to be dating the Bulgarian tennis star back in 2012, chimed in with love, commenting, “Aiiiiiiiiiiiii love this,” adding her signature flair to the joyous celebration.
Grigor Dimitrov and Eiza González’s love story quietly began to unfold at the Madrid Open. In the 2nd round, Dimitrov faced off against familiar foe Nicolás Jarry, just as he had at the Monte-Carlo Masters. Once again, the Bulgarian ace cruised to a commanding 6-3, 6-4 win in just under 100 minutes. But it wasn’t just his sharp form that caught attention.
After the win, Dimitrov rushed to the stands, where Hollywood stars Eva Longoria and Eiza González were seen cheering him on. A high-five with Longoria and a tender moment with González, who held his hand and kissed his cheek, set the rumor mill ablaze!
The rumored romance has progressed to a publicly acknowledged relationship; concurrently, Serena Williams is joyfully managing the lively atmosphere at home, with daughters Olympia and Adira actively participating in her latest endeavor!

It started young for me and my girls are following my path… now if I could just get them to pick up a tennis racket…. @olympiaohanian @wyn,”

And let us tell you, that despite her age, the skills she displayed as she ran the makeup brush down her mom’s face were not too shabby. Meanwhile, Olympia, who was seen applying her skills on a mannequin head, narrated her every move as if she were a seasoned pro. At one point she even declared, “Perfect, now let’s add some ELF blush. Perfect,” showing off her budding makeup instincts.
A sweet moment followed as Serena asked Olympia, “How long have you been doing makeup?” to which the 7-year-old replied, “Since I was three… or two.” When asked why she started, Olympia answered, “Because I want to become like Mommy.” The touching exchange was a glimpse into the admiration her daughters hold for her.
