Aryna Sabalenka could have hinted at a major life event as she sports what appears to be an engagement ring in new pictures. The Belarusian tennis star was defeated in the Australian Open final by Elena Rybakina,who got her revenge from the 2023 match-up in Melbourne.
However, it looks like Sabalenka has moved on fast from her Grand Slam disappointment as she posed in a Melbourne hotel with a shiny new addition. The caption read: "With a bow on top," but fans were not looking at her flowy white blouse with that kind of statement. One picture focused directly on Sabalenka's hand, where she was sporting an Audemars Piguet watch worth around £220,000.
But one thing that caught the eye was a shiny diamond ring on her ring finger next to some more flashy jewellery. One fan wrote: "Babe, is it happening??"
Another added: "Have you just got engaged? Congratulations," while a third said: "Stylish! Is that an engagement ring??"

Sabalenka has been hinting towards a life partnership with boyfriend Georgios Frangulis, who she has been dating since 2024. The Brazilian businessman is the owner of popular food chain Oakberry and is said to be worth between £60million to £80m thanks to his acai berry enterprise.
Frangulis is 10 years Sabalenka's senior and recently received some pressure from her about a proposal. After winning the Brisbane International in January, the 27-year-old thanked her team and dropped a massive hint to her beau.
She said: "Thank you to my boyfriend... Hopefully soon I can call you something else. Let's just put some extra pressure."
The Grand Slam winner has hinted at a potential engagement previously as a different couple got engaged at the US Open in 2025. At the time, she said: "I looked at my boyfriend. No pressure!"
It is yet to be confirmed that Frangulis has indeed popped the question to his tennis superstar girlfriend but fans are already made up for the pair regardless. With many WTA Tour events coming up in the next few weeks, it's likely that Sabalenka will be grilled for her social media posts sporting this swanky ring.
