In the world of sports, which is full of dramatic moments on the court, rarely has news made the tennis community “crazy” like the landmark announcement from Alex de Minaur late one recent night. The world-class Australian tennis player posted an emotional post on social networks, with the prominent words: “I can’t keep calm anymore — I’m going to be a father!”. Accompanied by a warm image, perhaps an ultrasound photo or a private moment with Katie Boulter – his fiancee, the talented British tennis player.

The news spread like wildfire, in just a few hours it garnered millions of interactions, likes and congratulatory comments from fans all over the planet.

Alex de Minaur, 27 years old, is currently one of the top tennis players in the world with his fast playing style, solid defense and relentless fighting spirit. He has achieved many impressive achievements, including reaching the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam, winning the ATP 500 and being the mainstay of the Australian team at the Davis Cup. Besides her playing career, De Minaur’s personal life always attracts attention thanks to her beautiful relationship with Katie Boulter – a British female tennis player who is gradually asserting her name on the WTA Tour.

The couple started dating in 2020, announced their relationship in 2021, and got engaged at the end of 2024. They are often called “tennis’ power couple” thanks to their support of each other, from cheering in the stands to sharing everyday moments on Instagram.

De Minaur’s announcement that Katie Boulter is pregnant marks a new chapter in both their lives. This is not only family joy but also a testament to the maturity of the young couple. Over the years, they have repeatedly opened up about their plans to start a family. In early 2026, right at the Australian Open, De Minaur once shared with the Sydney Morning Herald: “I’m about to turn 27, life will continue to change. Sooner or later I will have a family and children.” Those words have now come true, making fans emotional.

Boulter, 29, is also in the midst of a flourishing career with WTA titles and a top 30 position in the world. Being pregnant while both are busy with tight competition schedules increases the admiration from the community.

But what makes this announcement a real “blockbuster” isn’t just the fact that the couple is about to have a baby, but the surprising details that De Minaur revealed right after. In the next part of the post, he shares that the baby is not only a new member of the family, but also has a special “twist”: the couple is expecting **twins** (twins)! This detail was completely unexpected by most fans.

Many people initially thought this was just a normal first child, but when De Minaur posted the words “Double the trouble, double the love! 👶👶” with an icon of two babies, social networks immediately exploded. From the hashtag #DeMinaurTwins to funny memes about “two kids will have to learn tennis from a young age to keep up with their parents”, everything went viral in just a few hours.

The response from the tennis community has been extremely positive and vibrant. Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz and many top players sent their congratulations through comments or private stories. Emma Raducanu, Boulter’s compatriot, wrote: “Congratulations you two! Tennis world is about to have two more child superstars!”. Major fanpages such as Tennis TV, ATP Tour and WTA also quickly posted congratulations, along with beautiful photos of the couple over the years. Some experts even joked that “with genes inherited from their parents, these twins can dominate both the ATP and WTA in the future”.

The news also sparked further discussions about the balance between career and family life in professional tennis. Many tennis players have faced similar decisions: Ashleigh Barty retired early to start a family, Serena Williams returned to play after giving birth, or more recently the cases of Paula Badosa and Matteo Berrettini. For De Minaur and Boulter, the impending arrival of twins may affect their competition schedule in the near future.

Boulter may take a few months off from competition to take care of her pregnancy and give birth, while De Minaur will continue to compete but will spend more time with her family. Both have emphasized that they always put their careers first, but now “family” has clearly become the new priority.

On a personal level, De Minaur – who spent his childhood moving between many countries due to his Spanish mother and Uruguayan father – always values ​​family values. He often shares about the support from his parents and siblings, and now he is about to become a father. Boulter, with her strong and humorous personality, will definitely be a great mother. The couple had been planning a wedding for 2027, but the pregnancy news may cause them to speed up some decisions to make things run more smoothly.

Currently, both De Minaur and Boulter have not revealed more details about the gender, due date or future plans. They just emphasized that this is the happiest period of their lives and thanked fans for their support. This announcement not only brings joy but also inspires many young couples in sports: that love, career and family can completely go together if there is mutual understanding and support.

Tennis world is waiting for further updates from this “golden” couple. Will the twins be named after tennis legends? Will De Minaur play next year’s Australian Open with “double motivation”? Everything is still a question mark, but one thing is certain: Alex de Minaur’s “I’m going to be a father” moment has become one of the warmest and most viral news this year. Congratulations Alex and Katie – welcome two new little angels! 🎾❤️👶👶
