Madison Keys has found a tennis partner she can share her life with.
The tennis star and Bjorn Fratangelo — also a pro in the sport — got engaged in March 2023 after six years of dating.
While Keys may get the most publicity, Fratangelo has paved his way as a solid contributor to the tennis world. In 2011, he won the French Open boys’ title at the age of 17 and turned pro the following year.
After meeting Keys, the couple seemed to only compound each other’s talents — even playing mixed doubles together in the 2021 U.S. Open.

Off the court, the twosome have been there for one another through thick and thin. When COVID-19 struck in 2020, Keys and Fratangelo were forced to stay indoors, bu itt that brought them closer together.
“Being in quarantine together has really shown us that we don’t have to be doing something in particular to enjoy being together,” Keys told Tennis.com at the time. “We laugh together a lot and Bjorn is constantly keeping me on my toes.”
She added, “We feel like a regular couple that lives a normal life, and we really don’t mind the normalcy that we have right now. Whether it’s the morning cup of coffee or even hitting balls together, these things could be taken for granted if it’s something you’ve done continuously for many, many years.”
