The first picture Bellini shared of herself with Berrettini was during her photo dump following her 22nd birthday celebrations. In that post, she included a mirror selfie they took together in an elevator.
On the tennis side of things, Berrettini’s best performance in 2025 was reaching the quarterfinals in singles at five tournaments: the Qatar Open, Dubai Tennis Championships, Miami Open, Vienna Open, and Moselle Open.
The former World No. 6 competed in two Grand Slam tournaments in 2025: the Australian Open, where he was defeated in the second round by Holger Rune, and the Wimbledon Championships, where he was eliminated in the first round by Kamil Majchrzak. He withdrew from the French Open due to a right oblique injury and did not participate in the US Open, as he was still recovering from an abdominal injury.
