Death of Aryna Sabalenka's Ex-Boyfriend
As we reported several weeks ago, Aryna Sabalenka's ex-partner, former professional hockey player Konstantin Koltsov, passed away while in Miami for the WTA 1000 tournament in which Sabalenka was participating. Despite the unexpected death, Sabalenka decided to compete in the tournament and issued a statement on Instagram, clarifying that she was no longer in a relationship with Koltsov at the time of the incident.

Georgios Frangulis's Wife Confirms the Rumors
Although it is impossible for us to verify the authenticity of the private message exchange between Georgios Frangulis's wife and another Twitter user, the site Essentially Sports reports that the woman in question allegedly replied that she was still married to the businessman:
"I am married to Georgios. But I will be filing for divorce, they have been having an affair since California."
This is sad news for the young woman, especially if she was able to confirm her suspicions following the release of the videos on the internet.
