Costeen Hatzi has opened up on life after love with a global tennis star following her recent split with Aussie champ, Nick Kyrgios.
Neither Kyrgios or the popular influencer, 26, have revealed the reason their romance came to an end, but Hatzi has now said she will never bad mouth her former partner, regardless of what has gone on between them.
'Friends and family have given me great advice to just focus on myself and be the classier person when it comes to the break-up,' she told Stellar magazine in her first interview since the split.
'I've really taken that on board, because I don't want to ruin his name.
'Sometimes my emotions get the better of me, but then I remember that it's not in my nature to say anything bad about him. We still had a beautiful relationship, even though things didn't turn out the way [I'd hoped]. I've found peace within myself, and I hope he's happy. I don't wish bad upon him at all.'
The pair went public with their relationship in January 2022, after meeting by chance a few months earlier when Hatzi was selling a mirror on Instagram.
But in March of this year, rumours began swirling the pair had called time on their relationship, fuelled by a string of cryptic social media posts including one where Hatzi appeared to say that she was 'divorced'.
The pair have since completely erased each other from their social media accounts.
Hatzi, who was regularly seen courtside supporting her now ex, said the break-up has left her with a lot of time on her hands as she'd previously supported the tennis champ's gruelling sporting schedule.
'I was fully supportive of him. I went to all the tournaments. I was doing everything behind the scenes – his washing, his cooking … everything,' she told the publication.
'And I was happy to do that, because I loved him and we had a great relationship at the time. So I don't regret anything that I've done.
'It's different now. I have all this time for myself. I'm in a really reflective but motivated place. It's definitely been a bit of an adjustment, but I mentally prepared myself for that; it wasn't a shock. This year has been like a transition period.'
She added that while there are days where she's 'not 100 per cent happy', she's confident that the split with Kyrgios – who is often labelled the 'bad boy of tennis' due to his controversial on-court behaviour – was the right decision and she's focused on the future.
'Going through a break-up is not going to tear me down or upset me too much. I just need to look forward and throw myself into work, throw myself into fitness and that's what I've been doing, really.'
Indeed, a quick scroll of her social media feed shows she's certainly putting the relationship in the past, with snaps showing Hatzi currently travelling through Europe, visiting Spain and Italy.
On one bikini photo, fans were quick to pour praise on the influencer, labelling her pink two-piece 'a vibe'.
'It's giving Barbie on holiday,' one commented.
'Forever obsessed with you,' said another.
As someone else declared: 'Wow I'm speechless you are 100 per cent the queen.'
Meanwhile one cheekily jibed, 'Nick who?'.
