Aryna Sabalenka’s boyfriend, Brazilian entrepreneur Georgios Frangulis, is her most devoted supporter. At the US Open in New York City in September 2024, Frangulis was visibly cheering for Sabalenka from the stands. The tennis star expressed her gratitude on Instagram, saying, “I’m so lucky to have you by my side. Your support is priceless.”
Since they began dating in early 2024, Sabalenka has actively supported Frangulis’ superfood brand, Oakberry. She has become an ambassador for the brand and even designed a special açaí bowl for it. Sabalenka’s new relationship follows the tragic death of her former boyfriend, Konstantin Koltsov, who took his own life in March 2024.
Frangulis has a background in law, having studied at FAAP in São Paulo but did not complete his degree, focusing instead on entrepreneurship
So who is Georgios Frangulis? Here’s a look into his background and his connection with the tennis star. Hailing from Brazil, Frangulis grew up in São Paulo and studied law at FAAP (Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado) in 2014, though he did not complete his degree or take the Brazilian Bar Exam. “I always knew I wouldn’t be a lawyer,” Frangulis shared with Forbes Brazil, adding that his true aspiration was to become an entrepreneur.
He founded Oakberry in December 2016, a brand known for its açaí products linked to his Brazilian roots. The company quickly gained traction, boasting over 700 stores across 40 countries and raising $67 million in capital by late 2023. Frangulis emphasized the importance of sustainability, noting that açaí relies on the Amazon’s subsistence culture.
Throughout their relationship, Frangulis has consistently supported Sabalenka, often attending her matches. They were first seen together at the Mutua Madrid Open in April 2024 and later celebrated her victories at the Cincinnati Masters and the US Open.
Sabalenka has also become an Oakberry ambassador, debuting a personalized açaí bowl named the “POWER SERVE BOWL” in January 2024. She expressed her excitement about the collaboration, highlighting the creative involvement and personal connection she feels with the brand.
In addition to his entrepreneurial pursuits, Frangulis is passionate about motorsports, having competed in 128 races of the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge. He balances his racing interests with his business by maintaining a rigorous physical and psychological routine.
Sabalenka has publicly praised Frangulis for his support. At the Cincinnati Masters trophy presentation, she accidentally referred to him as her “boyfriends” before quickly correcting herself, expressing her thanks for his daily support.
The couple frequently shares their relationship highlights on social media. Sabalenka posted a selfie from a beach getaway in June 2024, and Frangulis shared a series of pictures, including moments with Oakberry açaí bowls and intimate snapshots of the couple.
