Who is Maria Sakkari’s boyfriend?

Maria Sakkari’s boyfriend is Konstantinos Mitsotakis, who is the son of Greece’s prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

The couple have been dating since 2020, which Maria said came at an unexpected time.

Speaking about their relationship, Maria said: “It has been a year now since we met and the truth is he helped me a lot. He is a special guy. I have disclosed the relationship anyway; it is not hidden.

“I think it was a big part of why I did well at Roland Garros as I spent my free time with him very differently from when I was alone.”

“He calmed me down, he talked to me, he was very supportive. Konstantinos is a very simple guy. I can talk to him for hours. We have a very easy relationship. He is a very easy person,” she added.
