Aryna Sabalenka closed out her 2025 season with a social media post that quickly grabbed attention, but it was her boyfriend Georgios Frangulis’ smitten reaction that stole the spotlight. The Belarusian star shared a Thanksgiving photo carousel on social media that mixed court grind with holiday joy, but one image stood out above the rest.
Posing confidently alongside a 1989 Porsche 911 964 Carrera 2 Cabriolet Convertible, Sabalenka drew an affectionate reaction from Frangulis, who admitted in the comments that her picture was something he “could live on” forever.
A Close Look at Aryna Sabalenka’s Dominant 2025 Season
Sabalenka’s eye-catching post arrives on the heels of an impressive 2025 season. The 27-year-old finished the year as the WTA world No. 1 with a 63-12 win-loss record, four titles, nine finals, and a staggering $15 million in prize money.
She defended her US Open crown, reached the championship matches at both the Australian Open and Roland Garros, and made it to the Wimbledon semifinals, giving her deep runs at all four Majors in a single season.
Sabalenka also added two WTA 1000 trophies and closed her campaign as the runner-up at the WTA Finals. With such a dominant year behind her, fans were eager to see how the world No. 1 was spending her brief break before gearing up for 2026.
What Behind-the-Scenes Glimpses Did Sabalenka Offer in Her Holiday Carousel?
Her Thanksgiving gallery delivered exactly that. Sabalenka included pictures of herself sweating through training sessions on the hard court, a snippet of her and Frangulis cruising in a vintage Porsche 911 Carrera, and snapshots from a holiday dinner hosted by hospitality mogul David Grutman. The carousel also showed the couple mingling with guests and posing next to a pair of adorable bunnies. But it was the car photo that commanded the spotlight.
“Thankful for a lot… to do what I love every day, to be home for the holiday surrounded by amazing people and to meet these cute bunnies 😂♥️,” she wrote in the caption.

Frangulis, a Brazilian entrepreneur best known for cofounding global acai brand Oakberry, was clearly captivated by her Porsche pose. He dropped a playful, smitten remark on the fifth picture, writing, “I could live on 5th picture forever.”
His enthusiasm fit perfectly with his passion for motorsports. According to Driver Database, he has logged 128 starts in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge, making the vintage 1989 model in Sabalenka’s photos even more fitting.
Earlier this year at the Stuttgart Open, Sabalenka mentioned wanting to find a Porsche from 1998, the year she was born. Her latest ride appears to reflect Frangulis’ birth year instead, adding a subtle nod to his automotive interests.
