Taylor Fritz is no longer linked to Eugenie Bouchard after coach Rennae Stubbs shut down dating rumors on 12 July 2026. Fritz, fresh off a quarterfinal exit at Wimbledon, was falsely tied to the former Wimbledon finalist in social media posts. Stubbs, who met Bouchard’s real boyfriend last week, called the claim “news to me.”
What happened?
A fan account posted on X that Bouchard was “reportedly dating Taylor Fritz” on 10 July 2026, just days after Fritz lost 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 to Alexander Zverev in the Wimbledon quarterfinals. The post tagged @Vee_Co_Fandom and sparked immediate chatter. Stubbs, a former World No.1 doubles player and longtime coach to Serena Williams, replied with a sharp correction. “Let me correct myself and you! News to me, considering I met her actual BOYFRIEND last week,” she wrote.
Who is Bouchard’s real boyfriend?
Bouchard’s partner is Ian Hathaway, a partner at OpenAI’s startup fund. The couple was spotted together on a getaway to Lake Como in early July 2026, sharing photos of their trip. Hathaway leads the investment arm of the AI research lab behind ChatGPT. Bouchard, a 2014 Wimbledon finalist, has previously dated Jack Brinkley-Cook, NFL quarterback Mason Rudolph, investment banker Conor Davis, and ice hockey player Jordan Caron.
Bouchard’s Wimbledon return as a pundit
Bouchard marked her Wimbledon return on 8 July 2026 by sitting in the Royal Box at Centre Court. She posted photos wearing a collared dress with colorful printed ribbons, minimal silver jewelry, and pointed heels. “What an honour to be invited to the Royal Box. Every time I played on this court I always looked up to see who was there,” she wrote. Bouchard served as a BBC analyst during the tournament, a role she has held since retiring from pro tennis after the 2025 National Bank Open in Montreal.
