Since then, they have shared a few sweet moments with fans, including an Instagram tribute Badosa posted for Betancourt's birthday in September 2022.

Alongside a series of photos of the couple, Badosa thanked her boyfriend for making her the happiest person in a caption written in Spanish.

Badosa and Betancourt have been dating for less than two years, and it doesn't seem like they're thinking about marriage just yet. During an on-court interview in March 2022, Badosa talked about "waiting" to get engaged in a "year or so."

Not long after that, according to Tennis Tonic, the tennis star clarified that she was just kidding. "I was just joking!" she said. "Right now I have too many things to think about. I had a text from him, and he was like, 'You put so much pressure on me! Now I don't have any other option!' Maybe in the future. I'm still young. First, I want to focus on tennis."

He's an award-winner

Badosa isn't the only one winning impressive awards. Betancourt won an award at the 2022 Summum Awards, which are presented each year to respected personalities in the fields of sports, fashion and culture.

He was recognized for his work in fashion and shared a photo from the night on Instagram, writing, "Magical night, unforgettable experience, how nice it is to receive an award, but even more beautiful is to receive it surrounded by people I love very much, people I admire, hardworking people, sacrificed, persistent but above all, good people."

He's a tennis fan

In November 2021, they were photographed walking off the court after practicing together at the Akron WTA Finals in Guadalajara, Mexico.
