Breaking News: Stefanos Tsitsipas Announces He Will Cover Costs for All Wedding Guests
April 24, 2025 | Athens, Greece — In a surprising and heartfelt gesture, tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas announced earlier today that he will be covering the full expenses for all guests attending his upcoming wedding, a move that has sent social media buzzing and fans around the world applauding his generosity.
The 26-year-old Greek tennis ace, who is known for his flair both on and off the court, made the announcement via an Instagram live session earlier this morning. With a relaxed tone and beaming smile, Tsitsipas shared the long-awaited news with his 2.3 million followers.
> “This day means the world to me,” Tsitsipas said. “And I want everyone who has been a part of my journey—family, friends, loved ones—to be there, not worrying about costs or logistics. You’ve all supported me. Now, let me support you.”
The wedding, which is rumored to take place this summer in a private ceremony somewhere along the Aegean coast, has been a hot topic among fans and media alike, especially after speculation of his engagement with longtime girlfriend and fellow tennis pro Paula Badosa intensified in recent months.
A Wedding Worthy of a Grand Slam
Though details remain under wraps, sources close to the couple suggest that the wedding will be an intimate but luxurious affair, with approximately 150 guests expected. Tsitsipas’ commitment to covering costs reportedly includes airfare, accommodations, meals, and attire for the guests—a rare and extravagant move in the world of celebrity weddings.
> “I want everyone to feel celebrated,” Tsitsipas said. “Whether you’re flying in from Melbourne, Monaco, or Mykonos, it’s my treat.”
Fans were quick to flood the comment sections with admiration, dubbing him “the groom of the year” and praising the gesture as “peak Greek hospitality.” Several fellow athletes also chimed in, with Novak Djokovic commenting, “Class act, Stef,” and Nick Kyrgios posting a cheeky “Does that include plus ones?”
Beyond Tennis: A Heart for Community
Tsitsipas has long been recognized not just for his powerful backhand and shot-making creativity, but also for his thoughtfulness and strong connection with fans and his Greek heritage. His philanthropic efforts during the pandemic and contributions to Greek youth sports programs have earned him admiration beyond the court.
Today’s announcement, however, took that reputation to a new level.
According to a wedding planner based in Santorini, who requested anonymity, “This kind of gesture is almost unheard of. Even among celebrities, it’s very rare to see a couple take on the full financial responsibility for their guests. It says a lot about the kind of people they are.”
A Love Story in the Limelight
Tsitsipas and Badosa have been in the public eye since their relationship first made headlines in 2023. The couple, often dubbed “Tsitsidosa” by fans, have been known for their candid social media posts and open support of each other’s careers. From joint practice sessions to vacation snapshots, their love story has captivated tennis fans worldwide.
While neither has confirmed the exact date or location of the wedding, today’s announcement strongly hints that the celebration is imminent.
> “We’ve gone through a lot together—on and off court. This wedding is not just a ceremony, it’s a celebration of everything we’ve overcome,” Tsitsipas added during the live session.
Fans React
Within minutes of the announcement, the hashtag #TsitsipasWedding trended on X (formerly Twitter), with fans expressing both admiration and curiosity.
“Is Stefanos secretly a Greek god in disguise?” one user joked.
Another wrote, “Imagine being invited to a wedding and being told, ‘Don’t worry, everything’s paid for—just bring yourself.’ Stef is unreal.”
Meanwhile, Greek news outlets have already begun speculating about potential venues, with Crete, Santorini, and even a yacht-based ceremony among the rumored options.
Still Focused on the Game
Despite the whirlwind of wedding preparations, Tsitsipas remains focused on his tennis career. Currently ranked in the ATP Top 10, he’s set to compete in the Madrid Open next week. When asked if wedding planning has distracted him from training, he laughed.
> “Not at all. If anything, love is a great motivator. It gives you energy, clarity, and something beautiful to fight for.”
As Tsitsipas embarks on this new chapter in life, fans and fellow players alike are celebrating a man who continues to blend humility, generosity, and heart—even in the most high-profile moments.
