Who is Aleksander Barkov's girlfriend? Exploring the Florida Panthers star player's personal life (Image Source: Getty) The Florida Panthers are back in the game by leading the NHL Finals series by 2-1. The NHL Finals Game 3 saw how dominating of a team the Panthers can be as they won the game with a 6-1 score. Though the entire team is phenomenal, the majority of the credit goes to their captain Aleksander Barkov who keeps them on track. The Finnish player is one of the most disciplined and private persons in the NHL and is known for keeping his personal and professional life separate. It was only last year when Barkov publicly admitted that he is no longer single. Who is the captain's girlfriend? Who is Aleksander Barkov dating? Aleksander Barkov is dating the tennis star Marie Bouzkova. The Florida Panthers' captain was seen in Wimbledon in 2024, supporting Bouzkova during her doubles match.

It was in 2024 that both made it official that they are together. Both Barkov and Bouzkova do not post about their personal life much on social media, due to which nothing can be deduced of their relationship. When did Aleksander Barkov and Marie Bouzkova meet? The exact timeline of when Barkov met the tennis sensation is not known, thanks to both players keeping it low-key private. However, it can be said that they might have met through their common love for tennis. Since it is well known that the Panthers' star player loves tennis and has played with Sebastian Korda and John Isner, it can be deduced that Barkov met his girlfriend on the tennis court. It was in 2024 when Barkov attended Wimbledon and was interviewed by Tennis Channel, where he admitted that he is there to support his girlfriend. Marie Bouzkova's achievements Marie Bouzkova is a tennis player from Prague, Czech Republic. She has been playing professional tennis since 2013. Bouzkova made her first professional tennis appearance in the Katowice Open of the WTA tour and has played several games since then. She won the singles title in 2022 during the Prague Open, which is her career-first singles title. She currently has a singles ranking of No. 24. Apart from that, Bouzkova has also won five doubles titles and made her way to two WTA singles finals in 2024. She has a doubles ranking of No.15. She was last seen at the French Open, in 2025.
