Coco Gauff has reacted to boyfriend Jalen Sera’s latest Instagram post from their Florida getaway. After an early exit at Wimbledon, the 21-year-old tennis star took a brief pause from the tour to unwind in Florida with her boyfriend.
The couple’s lakeside retreat turned into a lighthearted social media exchange. Gauff poked fun at Sera’s photo choices while subtly expressing her gratitude for his presence.
How Is Coco Gauff Enjoying Her Break After a Quick Wimbledon Exit?
The break came at a pivotal moment for Gauff, who suffered a shock first-round loss at the All England Club to Ukraine’s Dayana Yastremska. With her Wimbledon campaign cut short, the American took the opportunity to recharge before diving into the North American hard-court swing, an essential phase in her 2025 season with major WTA stops in Montreal and Cincinnati ahead of the US Open.
The two shared a peaceful day out on the water, paddling into the sunset in a canoe, where they even had a surprise encounter with a Florida alligator. Gauff posted a glowing photo of the fiery sky over the lake, along with shots of herself enjoying the moment, including one where she dove straight into the water. Sera later shared his own carousel of images from the getaway, offering fans an intimate look at their quiet moments together.

In the comment section, Gauff playfully teased Sera for skipping one of her favorite moments: “No sunset pic 🫣.” He replied with a cheeky, “I’m gatekeeping the sights.”
Gauff responded again with, “Just a Taurus living like a Pisces for a week,” leaning into astrology humor, to which Sera simply replied with a fish emoji.
Meanwhile, Gauff is gearing up for her fifth appearance at the 2025 National Bank Open in Montreal. The three-time quarterfinalist enters as the top seed at the WTA 1000 tournament.
What Recognition Has Gauff Received for Her 2025 Success?
Gauff claimed her second consecutive ESPY for Best Tennis Player, celebrating a standout season highlighted by her second Grand Slam title. The 33rd ESPY Awards were held on July 16, 2025, at LA’s Dolby Theatre.
Since winning the award in 2024, she has captured the China Open, the WTA Finals in Riyadh, and the 2025 French Open. She also reached the Australian Open quarterfinals and finished runner-up in Madrid and Rome. Reacting on X, she wrote: “Woke up to me winning another ESPY???? ahhhh thank you thank you!!”
