World No. 2 tennis star Jannik Sinner has finally put an end to months of speculation surrounding her love life. After being linked to several high-profile names, the 24-year-old athlete confirmed that he is dating Danish model and influencer Leila Hasanovic. The revelation came shortly after his victory at the ATP 500 in Vienna. After the victory, Jannik expressed his gratitude to, among others, his girlfriend during his winner’s speech. She has officially put an end to rumors about her relationship status once and for all. At the same time, his confession ended weeks of fan theories and online debates about who had captured the young tennis star’s heart.
Who is Laila Hasanovic?
Laila Hasanovic was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, in November 2000. She is a model and content creator who has collaborated with major luxury brands, including Prada Beauty and Armani Beauty. Laila has a strong online presence with over 376,000 followers on Instagram and almost 50,000 subscribers on YouTube, where she shares content related to fashion, lifestyle, and beauty. In addition, the diva has also been a finalist in the Miss World Denmark pageant. After the victory, Jannik expressed his gratitude and said:
“Thank you so much for the support. The work you put in, the effort. Even understanding me can be a challenge at times, but thank you for your commitment. My family, my girlfriend, my friends and even those watching me at home. Thank you all so much for the support.”
Before dating Jannik, Laila was in a relationship with Mick Schumacher, the son of Formula One legend Michael Schumacher. They were dating in public throughout 2023 and several reports suggested that she was among the few people close to the Schumacher family. In fact, she was one of the few people allowed to meet him after his devastating accident. However, they separated and went their separate ways. Later, fans spotted Raya on the exclusive dating app.
Why did fans feel that Jannik Sinner was dating Laila Hasanovic?
There was speculation about Jannik Sinner and Laila Hasanovic’s relationship months ago, when she was frequently seen in the stands cheering him on at Wimbledon and Roland Garros. These rumors gained momentum when fans noticed that Jannik’s phone wallpaper featured Laila’s photo, sparking a viral buzz on TikTok. Social media users were quick to connect the dots, especially since Laila frequently attended her matches around the world at the US Open. Furthermore, during an interview with Corriere dello Sport, the owners of a Monte Carlo ice cream parlor below Jannik’s apartment said:
“Laila is very kind and simple, like Jannik.”
Why did fans confuse Laila with Brooks Nader?
Confusion over whether Jannik was dating Laila and a Sports Illustrated model, Brooks, went viral after the latter’s sister dropped a hint, saying she was dating someone “whose name rhymes with winner.” Brooks avoided confirming or denying the claims, but did make a vague comment about how a lady never kisses and tells, especially twice. Fans were quick to connect her to Jannik, but then her sister confirmed it was her opponent, Carlos Alcaraz, putting an end to the triangle gossip.
Now that the mystery surrounding Jannik Sinner’s love life has finally been solved, tennis fans are hooked on Jannik’s off-court love story.
