The Australian tennis star, 30, asked his 4.1 million Instagram followers to "ask whatever" and to "not hold back" during an Instagram Q&A on Wednesday, June 11.
When one fan asked Kyrgios if he will "ever talk on the split with C" or if he's "keeping it private," according to News.com.au, the tennis star broke his silence on his breakup with the influencer.
'Things happen. I wish her nothing but the best,' Kyrgios wrote in response, adding, 'So many incredible memories that will stay with me.'
Kyrgios also answered questions about his newly shaved head and how he feels about turning 30, to which he said it's "unreal" and that he's "not even in my prime yet."
Another fan asked Kyrgios to take her on a date, but he replied, "Nah," with laughing emojis and said he's not "spending bread on" her. "Ladies can pay for my dinner," Kyrgios added.
Hatzi and Kyrgios started dating in December 2021. By April 2025, rumors of a split surfaced when the couple began sharing cryptic posts on social media.
The first sign eagle-eyed fans picked up on was an adjustment to the pair's respective Instagram bios, reportedly removing each other's initials from their profiles.
Hatzi posted a cryptic message on TikTok on March 29 that had fans speculating it was about her boyfriend amid the breakup speculation.
"Part 37. Who the f--- did I marry? So at this point in time I have filed for divorce," Hatzi lip synced in the clip, writing, "You don't see your friends in a while and you have to update her on your chaotic life," over the video.
She captioned the post, "Spilling the tea ☕️," before quipping, "It's a joke guys lol."
In a January 2023 profile on Kyrgios from ESPN, Hatzi revealed that they met when he inquired about a mirror she was selling on Instagram. When the tennis star arrived at her home to make the purchase, she said it was love at first sight.
The early days of their relationship are documented in Netflix's Breaking Point docuseries. In one episode, the influencer admits she wasn't a tennis fan before meeting Kyrgios.
"I never really watched a tennis game in my life, so yeah, this is all new for me," Hatzi said before defending her boyfriend's "bad boy" reputation. "He's not as crazy as everyone thinks."
