Sebastian Korda’s engagement story received a fresh chapter this week after his fiancée, Ivana Nedved, shared an intimate new look at the moment that changed their lives. More than a month after the American tennis star announced their engagement, Nedved returned to Instagram to post a previously unseen photoshoot from their beachside proposal.
A Closer Look at Sebastian Korda and Ivana Nedved’s Relationship and Engagement Timeline
Korda and Nedved have been together since 2021, building a relationship that has largely stayed out of the spotlight despite Korda’s growing profile on the ATP Tour. Their engagement became public on Nov. 10, 2025, when the couple shared a set of monochrome photo booth-style images on Instagram. Those initial photos showed the couple posing closely while Nedved subtly displayed her engagement ring.
Recently, Nedved posted a series of images from the beach proposal, revealing heartfelt moments that were not part of the original announcement. Sunlight, sand, and soft coastal tones set the scene, while the couple appeared joyful and gently embracing. Alongside the photos, Nedved captioned the post, “Engagement diaries,” accompanied by white heart and sparkle emojis.

She earned her bachelor’s degree in event, sports, and entertainment management from the Glion Institute of Higher Education before completing her master’s degree at King’s College London.
Professionally, she has worked across marketing, branding, and communications, including serving as chief marketing officer at KNIT.

She is also the daughter of Czech football icon Pavel Nedved, a former Ballon d’Or winner.
How Did Korda Perform During the 2025 Tennis Season?
On the tennis side, Korda’s 2025 season was solid but injury-disrupted, as he remained competitive without fully capitalizing on his potential. He did not win an ATP singles title, with his best result coming at the Adelaide International, where he finished runner-up. In doubles, his standout performance was reaching the Indian Wells final with Jordan Thompson.
Korda posted a 22-18 win-loss record during the season. He struggled to maintain momentum because of physical issues and inconsistent results from tournament to tournament. In terms of earnings, Korda made more than $1 million in prize money during the season, aided by deep runs at ATP events and his doubles success at Indian Wells. He remained inside the ATP Top 50 but did not approach his career-high ranking.
