At 30, Australian tennis maverick Nick Kyrgios is stepping off the court and into the spotlight—this time, revealing that his high-profile romance with influencer Costeen Hatzi has hit its final serve.
In an intimate and candid fan Q&A session on Instagram, the Wimbledon finalist opened up about the details of his relationship and break-up, wishing his ex 'nothing but the best' and reminiscing on 'incredible memories.' Since pairing up in December 2021, after a 'mirror sale' ignited sparks between the attractive duo, Kyrgios and Hatzi captured headlines with their glow-up moments featured in Netflix's Break Point docuseries.
But as whispers of a breakup swirled online from April, fans have been desperate for confirmation. Now, Kyrgios has officially broken his silence—with humor, grace, and a newly shaven head to boot.
What caused the 'trouble in paradise' for Kyrgios?

I wish her nothing but the best,' he quipped, adding that though their relationship is over, the memories are 'incredible.')
He also celebrated turning 30 with a bald look (both head and tone: 'unreal'), insisting he's 'not even in [his] prime yet'. (via People.com)
Their relationship began behind the mirrored lens of Instagram: Hatzi, selling a mirror, asked Kyrgios if he wanted to buy it—and love was instant. Their romance flourished as they moved in together in 2022 and even fueling engagement rumors, including Kyrgios joking 'Our wedding soon' on a public photo in early 2023 released on social media.
Yet by April, clear signals emerged: both removed each other's initials from their Instagram bios, and Hatzi dropped cryptic TikToks referencing marital tensions.
Hatzi later spoke positively about life post-split—highlighting her resilience and brand-work, even attending a major event in Sydney and supporting ovarian cancer research. Meanwhile, Kyrgios is juggling more than romantic headlines: plagued by injuries that sidelined him from the French Open and Wimbledon, he's also lost commentary gigs with BBC and ESPN.
Still, his spirit remains unbroken—and he's vowed that this chapter is just the tip of his prime.
Kyrgios's heartfelt yet playful statement marks a turning point—respectful closure with a wink to the future. As both he and Hatzi shift gears, fans can expect fresh chapters ahead: Kyrgios possibly aiming for tennis glory and personal reinvention at 30, and Hatzi blazing her own trail in the influencer world. While break-ups may sting for most couples, these two leave their fans lessons on how to part with grace and dignity.
