Jannik Sinner is wary of the impact of making his private life public, especially when it comes to his love life.
Sinner has been dating model and influencer Maria Braccini for some time but frequently bats back questions about her barring a few chats during wide-ranging interviews.
He has made it clear that his relationship is not a public matter and that he won’t be making announcements regarding such things
Sinner’s comments haven’t really stopped speculation with many believing that Braccini and the tennis star are actually engaged.
“Whether or not I am with a girl will never be known on social media, because I want to keep my private life private,” Sinner said.
“I don’t need to post a photo to show whether I’m engaged. I never posted pictures with my parents, maybe one with my brother.”
The couple took a break from one another in 2021, but they have made their way back to one another.
Braccini is a model and social media influencer who has made a name for herself in the fashion world.
Despite being involved in a glitzy profession, Braccini says she prefers the quiet life and openly admits that she is not a people person.
A source close to the model told Wtfoot: “Maria is a person that does not like talking to strangers. She has several close friends from an elite circle. Her friends come from the modelling and tennis industry. She does not like spending time with strangers, and it is hard for her to make new friends. Maria is an introvert who likes to spend her time alone. She values her privacy and space. It takes a long time to trust people. However, she becomes fiercely loyal to her friends.”
Like Sinner, she is Italian but just like the touring professional she has already seen a lot of the world thanks to her modelling career.
Braccini has a closed Instagram account but still sports over 100,000 followers on the platform.
Sinner has been very complimentary of his partner, feeling that she is the kind of person who is highly independent but still very nurturing.
“Maria is very tender and affectionate, but also very independent and this is the quality that strikes me the most,” Sinner said of Maria.
“She has tuned in to my needs, she knows that my priority is to sport, especially now because I’m just starting out and I still have to learn everything to become a champion.”
Sinner and Braccini split in November 2021, according to multiple reports. However, the couple have since sent out social media updates suggesting they are back together.
Braccini’s modelling career has been lucrative with her net worth now estimated to be somewhere in the region of $3 million.
The 23-year-old Italian stands at 5’6″ while Sinner towers over her at 6’2″.
Sinner has been tipped to be a future Grand Slam winner after a succesful 2023 season which saw him claim a maiden Masters title.
