British No2 Katie cut a casual look in a baggy red T-shirt and leggings, paired with white trainers.
It is understood Alex, 26, bought the London pad in 2023 and they have been living in it together for some time.
A source said: 'Love is very much in the air for Katie and Alex. They've been together for five years, they got engaged last year, and they've found their dream home.
"They can only hope to have as much success on the court next week as they've had in their relationship.'
Katie, from Leicester, hopes sleeping in her own bed improves her chances of success when she and Australian men's No1 Alex start their Wimbledon campaigns next week.
Katie told Women's Health: 'Being at home brings a sense of calm that's hard to replicate in hotels, and I think that can really help with focus.'
Last year the fan favourite made the second round before losing to compatriot Harriet Dart.
Afterwards Katie went on a winning run which saw her break into the world Top 25 for the first time.
She is currently No41.
Sydney-born Alex is world ranked No11 and last year reached the Wimbledon quarter finals.
A representative for Katie was approached for comment.

Emma Raducanu to face British teenager Mimi Xu in first round at Wimbledon
Emma Raducanu will take on young British wild card Mimi Xu in the opening round of Wimbledon. Xu, 17, is one of three home teenage debutantes in the women's draw, and she will get a first shot at British No 1 Raducanu. The former US Open champion reached the fourth round last year but faces an uphill battle to do so again, with top seed Aryna Sabalenka and former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova both in her section. It was a tough draw for the British players overall, with Katie Boulter – unseeded this year – taking on top-10 star Paula Badosa, while British No 3 Sonay Kartal faces 20th seed Jelena Ostapenko. Sixteen-year-olds Hannah Klugman and Mika Stojsavljevic also drew seeds, with the former facing former US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez and Stojsavljevic meeting Ashlyn Krueger. The bottom quarter could throw up some big-hitting contests in the second week with Iga Swiatek potentially facing a fourth-round clash against former champion Elena Rybakina and a quarter-final with second seed Coco Gauff having dropped to eighth in the rankings. Defending champion Barbora Krejcikova, meanwhile, will take on exciting Filipino teenager Alexandra Eala in the opening round, provided the Czech recovers from a leg injury in time. In the men's draw, Britain's Jack Draper, ranked fourth in the world, faces against Argentina's 38th-ranked Sebastian Baez but could meet seven-time champion Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals.

"I was like, 'I think it's probably best if I sit it out this year as I've got something going on next weekend.'' Oasis will kick off their long awaited reunion tour on Friday July 4 in Cardiff. The sell out run of stadium gigs includes 5 shows at Heaton Park in Manchester and seven at Wembley. Gigs will run all summer with the closing concert on September 28. The band were recently heard rehearsing together, performing an electric version of Cigarettes and Alcohol all but confirming its place in the setlist. Noel Gallagher looks stony-faced as he makes lonely Tube journey to Oasis rehearsals – but Liam's entrance is chaotic Liam arrived at the London practice space armed with throat sweets but sounded in fine form, no doubt aided by his decision to swap booze for tea.

"Rehearsals have been electric and they're perfectly in sync.'
