British tennis star Katie Boulter has been enjoying her hen do ahead of her marriage to Alex de Minaur this summer.
The tennis power couple have been together since 2020 and announced their engagement in December 2024 by posting a photo to social media of Boulter wearing a stunning ring on her wedding finger.
Boulter revealed in January that they will wed in the middle of this year in Europe, and she has been preparing with her hen do, which is a tradition involving the prominent females in a wedding going out for a celebration close to the day.
Former British tennis player Laura Robson shared a snap on Instagram on Sunday showing a group of women seemingly enjoying some time away, with Boulter in a white dress and wearing a veil.
Another photo showed the 29-year-old sat in a hot tub, with her veil reading: ‘Mrs De Minaur to be.’
A cake read: ‘Marriage material,’ and a black dog was seen dressed up next to balloons with ‘team bride’ written on them.
Tennis stars such as Robson, Jodie Burrage and Freya Christie were all in attendance.
Robson shared a plethora of photos to her Instagram account, with Boulter commenting: ‘Best weekend ever.’ Robson replied: ‘Literally smiling at my phone.’
In late 2024, Boulter and De Minaur thrilled their fans with an Instagram snap in which the Brit had her left arm around the neck of her 27-year-old beau revealing that she was wearing a stunning engagement ring on her wedding finger.
They captioned the post: ‘We’ve been keeping a small secret…’
Having initially met on the professional tennis circuit, the pair ran into each other while out for a 6am coffee.
It was there that their relationship blossomed and Boulter admitted that was when she knew he was the one.
‘We bumped into each other at six in the morning and ended up getting a coffee. From that moment, I knew I was in it for the long haul,’ Boulter had previously told The Age.
‘He is amazing, he continues to impress me every day of my life,’ she added.
‘It’s been almost six years now with him and it’s an inspiration to me as a player and a person as well that he’s doing so well, and I feel like he’s playing better and better every time I see him.’
Earlier this year, the couple were among the stars to have been caught up in the chaos that engulfed Mexico when they were due to play in the country.
Nemesio ‘El Mencho’ Oseguera Cervantes, who was Mexico’s most wanted man and the leader of the feared Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) cartel, was killed during a security operation to arrest him, according to the country’s defence ministry.
The CJNG plays a key role in trafficking methamphetamine and fentanyl to the US and cartel members responded by setting cars on fire, building roadblocks and clashing with security forces in eight states.
