Fellow former WAG Hannah Dal Sasso reveals best friend Costeen Hatzi is a 'different person' after split from tennis star Nick Kyrgios
Hannah Dal Sasso and Costeen Hatzi share a sacred bond.
The two high profile former WAGs have bonded over the experience of dating a top tennis champion in the public eye.
And the ex-girlfriend of Thanasi Kokkinakis has revealed that Costeen, who recently split with Nick Kyrgios, says her 25-year-old influencer buddy is doing well.
'I went to Australian Fashion Week and spent the whole day with Costeen in Sydney. She's doing really well, she's thriving' Hannah tells the Herald Sun.
'We hope to meet up in Europe, it'll be the first time in years she's able to travel and she's already like a different person.
'I'm very happy too. It's good we have each other.'
Hannah says 'no one understands unless you've been in that situation' when it comes to dating famous athletes.
Costeen stepped out in spectacular fashion at the Carla Zampatti show during Australian Fashion Week on Monday night.
She turned heads in a black satin sleeveless top paired with a high-waisted figure-hugging sequin skirt.
The glittering bronze piece hugged her curves in all the right places and made a bold yet elegant statement.
It comes after Costeen delivered a parting message to her tennis star ex after finally confirming the pair split.
Rumours had been bubbling away over the past month the couple had broken up, with Kyrgios appearing to unfollow the social media star on Instagram.
The tennis star, 30, had sparked rumours they had secretly split after he removed Costeen's initials from his Instagram bio.
Meanwhile, Costeen shared multiple cryptic posts, uploading a TikTok in which she appeared to mouth the words: 'Who the f*** did I marry? So at this point in time, I have filed for divorce.'
'I went to Australian Fashion Week and spent the whole day with Costeen in Sydney. She's doing really well, she's thriving' Hannah tells the Herald Sun. 'We hope to meet up in Europe, it'll be the first time in years she's able to travel and she's already like a different person'
She then confirmed the pair ended things on good terms, wishing the best for her ex-partner.
'I'm loving my work and doing content every day,' she told The Herald Sun.
'We haven't spoken, relationships come to an end. I believe it's for the best.
'I hope he finds peace and happiness within himself.
'I definitely entered the relationship with pure intentions. I loved him and thought we had a great connection.'
In recent weeks, Kyrgios appears to have been focusing on his own journey, publishing pictures on social media of himself training, attending brand events and enjoying some downtime with friends.
The pair began dating back in 2021.
They had been head over heels for each other following their first meeting - which had took place after Nick messaged Costeen on social media about a mirror she was selling.
He'd later come round to her home to pick up the mirror but as Costeen had previously said: 'It was love at first sight'.
The pair became official in January 2022 and moved in together, with Costeen regularly being seen following her beau around the world as he competed on the ATP Tour.
After four years together, The Herald Sun revealed they had split after a tournament in March, with Costeen joking: 'Maybe I'll steer away from athletes.'

I'm a size 14 and I tried the new F&F summer clothes – the dresses come with pockets & prices start from just £6
WITH summer now in full swing, many retailers have been adding new stock for thrifty fashionistas. And if you're on the lookout for wallet-friendly options for your next holiday or even a wedding, you may wish to pop down to the local Tesco pronto. 2 The mega supermarket has long been a firm favourite amongst cash-savvy fashion fans - and their latest collection is no exception. Whether you're on the lookout for on-trend leopard print or bloat-friendly frocks, Tesco has it all - and prices start from just £6. One person who was recently left amazed by the latest buys is Chloe Warfield - who also shared some of her top buys on TikTok. The size 14 modelled numerous eye-catching items, from a stunning bright fuchsia maxi dress to trendy shorts. The vibrant dress, priced at an affordable £25, features puff sleeve detailing, as well as a belt that cinches at your waist. The best part? In the video, Chloe also discovered the summery frock comes with pockets - it really doesn't get any better than this. Another buy the shopper got her hands on were shorts with the viral leopard print that's not going out of fashion anytime soon. Chloe snapped up the £18 shorts in size 14 and teamed it with a basic white T-shirt, £6 - another must-have wardrobe staple. To make the fit stand out even more, the stylish TikToker completed the casual ensemble with a pair of tinted aviator sunnies, sandals, a black belt and a purse. It seems like it's certainly worth visiting Tesco if you're short on dresses or have a wedding to attend - as the mega retailer has a huge variety of stunning dresses to bag. I'm 5'3 and a size 10 - Tesco is killing it with their summer co-ords, my haul was amazing & I got 25% off everything too One of these is a frilled maxi dress in vibrant blue for an affordable £36 - it has a flattering V-neckline, as well as a cut at the bottom of the dress that allows you to move freely and without discomfort. The winner of a haul also included fun stripy pyjama-style shorts going for just £12.50 - perfect for heading to the beach or chilling in your garden. Other jaw-dropping dress options included a flowy midi dress in light grey for £32.50, a strappy black maxi dress with frill detailing throughout, £29.50, as well as a sleeveless gown in neutral shades for a wallet-friendly £19.50. How has Tesco's F&F upped its game By Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend ZARA has become a high street staple in recent years thanks to its hot-off-the-catwalk designs and affordable prices. But recently those prices have risen with the brand's popularity. However, if you are looking for high fashion inspired outfits with low price tags you needn't drag yourself to your local shops, just head to the supermarket instead. F&F has come a long way from selling a few backs of T-shirts and fluffy dressing gowns and is now a must have shopping destination for thousands. They produce good quality, long lasting and on trend clothes that puts others to shame. F&F is filled with Zara dupes and other looks inspired by our favourite shops that will set you back less than £50 - and you can get them while you pick up your dinner. I for one love F&F denim, it's durable, fits really well and has all the best silhouettes. So even if you're not looking for reasonable prices but just want good clothes, get yourself to Tesco. Posing with chic sunnies and heeled sandals, Chloe looked incredible - and was delighted to see that this dress too came with side pockets. Praising the brand, the shopper wrote in the caption: ''Ummmm hello TESCO you superstar - thanks for providing this pink dress, leopard shorts & the last dress is just sensational! ''All bought today so will all be fresh in stores for you!'' the fashionista wrote in the caption. 'I'm gonna have to run to Tesco' The new range has clearly impressed many, as the video - posted under the username @ chloewarfieldx - has racked up over 216k views. As close to 8,000 people gave it a like, a further 124 flooded to comments, where one said: ''I'm gonna have to run to Tesco's for those leopard shorts.'' Someone else chimed in: ''Blue dress is 10/10.''

Channel Seven star wants 'brutal' sport BANNED after joining Anthony Albanese in campaign against event championed by UFC bad boy Conor McGregor
Plans to bring bare-knuckle boxing to Perth have been dealt a serious blow - and now, former Channel Seven personality turned Opposition Leader Basil Zempilas is leading calls for the sport to be permanently banned. The Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship [BKFC], co-owned by UFC icon Conor McGregor, was expected to stage its Australian debut in Perth this July. Instead, the WA Combat Sports Commission has declined the application, leaving organisers scrambling and critics relieved. Zempilas, once a mainstay of Seven's AFL and Olympic coverage, now serves as Leader of the Opposition and head of the WA Liberal Party. He's demanding the State Government take the next step and outlaw the sport altogether, arguing it has no place in Western Australia. 'It was very clear that a significant majority of Western Australians did not want this brutal sport to be coming to Perth,' Zempilas said. 'It should not have taken this long, and there are still lots of questions.' He urged the Combat Sports Commission, chaired by former Labor Minister Bob Kucera, to publicly explain why the permit was denied. 'We don't know what criteria was not met, or how the decision was reached,' he said. 'We don't know whether there were discussions between the Minister and the Commission, and it would appear the door is still open.' Zempilas said a full ban would be the only way to prevent future applications. 'That's what we want. Clearly that's what the people of Western Australia want.' 'It sets a bad example, there is very little demand.' 'And it took the long way and a confusing way to get there, but I'm pleased that the common sense decision was ultimately reached.' His stance has been echoed by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who also voiced concerns earlier this week. Speaking to Triple M, Albanese said: 'A bit of common sense - you've got to look after people's health a bit and maybe save people from themselves.' He referred to the rising awareness of concussion and long-term brain damage in sport. 'I just think we've got to be much more conscious about health issues,' he said. Albanese mentioned a recent conversation with former rugby league great Mark Carroll about the long-term effects of concussion. 'It's a bit crazy,' the Prime Minister said, when asked directly about bare knuckle fighting. The Australian Medical Association WA has also taken aim at the proposed event. 'We have a domestic violence crisis,' said AMA WA President Michael Page. 'We have people sorting out their problems with their fists in Northbridge on Saturday night.' 'This is not the type of example our community needs. 'We don't need this type of race to the bottom with bloody violence.' The WA Government had faced pressure over the event's approval, particularly as Sports Minister Rita Saffioti had previously defended it. She argued it was difficult to justify banning bare-knuckle fighting while continuing to support UFC events for tourism purposes. 'I can't differentiate between this and UFC,' she said. 'Just because it's not my cup of tea, or the Premier's cup of tea, doesn't mean we have the right to say no.' Still, the application was ultimately rejected. A statement from the Combat Sports Commission confirmed the decision but offered no detailed explanation. 'After careful consideration, the Board was not satisfied the event met the required criteria,' it read. BKFC President David Feldman had previously insisted the show would go ahead, calling Australia 'perfect for showcasing BKFC.' Among the scheduled bouts was a heavyweight clash between former UFC fighter Ben Rothwell and Australian strongman Alex 'Godly Strong' Simon. Simon, who once tipped the scales at 181kg and has a background in powerlifting, has spoken openly about his time in prison. The co-main event would have featured Tasmania's 'Rowdy' Bec Rawlings, the competition's first-ever female champion. Rawlings was set to face off against Canadian fighter Jade Masson-Wong. The proposed matches were set to take place at RAC Arena on July 19. But with the permit denied and calls for a ban intensifying, the future of BKFC in Australia looks doubtful. Zempilas has called for a full explanation from the WA Government and a clear statement that the sport is unwelcome. 'The Premier and Sports Minister are still duty-bound to act,' he said.

Rachael Finch takes tennis lessons into her own hands with son Dominic - after she was slammed for saying her children do not play team sports
Rachael Finch decided to take tennis training into her own hands on Thursday as she was spotted on the court with her six-year-old son Dominic. The model, 36, who shares Dominic and daughter Violet, eight, with Michael Miziner, sparked controversy when she said she wouldn't put her kids in team sports. Adding that she and her husband are all the 'team' their children need, the mother-of-three appears to be staying true to her word as she played a few rounds in Sydney. The brunette beauty was all smiles as she got in some bonding time with her son on the court, dressing for the warm weather in a red sweater and black tights. Flaunting her natural beauty without a lick of makeup in sight, Rachael pulled her dark tresses back into a tight ponytail as she served the ball to Dominic. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Likewise, her son also had a big smile on his face as he enjoyed playing tennis with his famous mother, dressed in all black for the outing. Rachael copped backlash from her followers late last month when she revealed the reason she won't put her kids in any team sports. She uploaded a video to Instagram, in which her husband and daughter could be seen training at the tennis courts—but it was the caption which raised eyebrows. 'People ask, "Why don't your kids play team sports?"' the mother-of-two wrote over the video. 'We are their team,' she added. Rachael went on to explain the controversial statement, saying she always wanted to be on her family's team no matter what. 'I'll carry the water bottles. I'll chop up the oranges. I don't care what I do—just so long as I get to be on this team,' she wrote. Rachael said she hopes her children learn lessons in 'resilience, accountability, confidence, winning and losing with grace, emotional balance, and that what you put in is what you get out'. However, even if they didn't, the proud mum said 'being there every single time they turn their head to the sideline' was a dream for both her and her husband. 'The fact they're out learning more about themselves in a challenging yet supportive environment while enjoying themselves is what counts,' she said. Adding the decision to play team sports was one which depended on the child, she posed the question to other parents. 'Do you think it's better if kids play team or individual sports?' she wrote. Rachael's followers poured into the comments section with their takes on the parenting view, with many calling out her decision. 'My kids do play team sports, that doesn't mean my husband and I aren't their team,' one person sourly wrote. Another chimed in: 'I think children need to be playing with other children and not just around their parents all the time. That's just my opinion.' 'Definitely team sports, and without parents around or on sidelines is crucial to self empowerment and development,' another person added. Other parents reflected on the question, saying a little bit of both was the best course of action, so long as it's what the children want to do. 'I think playing any sport is great! Team or individual. As the kids get older they will tell you what they want to continue with or if they want to change sports,' one person expressed. Another fan said: 'As long as the kids are doing what they choose to do and love it that's all that matters.' 'My kids play both team and individual sports. There's no better or worse or right or wrong. Just what works for your child and family,' another weighed in.
