Tennis star Paula Badosa dated Juan Betancourt from 2021 to early 2023

Spanish tennis star Paula Badosa and model Juan Betancourt have called it quits.

The exes started dating sometime in 2021 and split in early 2023. Badosa is now dating fellow tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas, whom she played mixed doubles with at Wimbledon in 2023.

When the Spanish tennis player was dating Betancourt, a model, the pair didn't share many details about their romantic life, though they occasionally posted photos together on their respective social media accounts.

From his career as a model to his relationship with Badosa, here's everything to know about Paula Badosa's ex-boyfriend.

He's a model

Betancourt was born in Havana, Cuba in 1990. It's unclear where his home base currently is, as he spends much of his time traveling around the globe for his modeling career.

Betancourt has been modeling for years and is extremely well-known in the industry. He has worked with well-known brands such as Giorgio Armani, Jean Paul Gaultier and Ralph Lauren, and has appeared in magazines like Vanity Fair, Esquire, GQ and Vogue Spain.

He has a close friendship with Tom Ford

Betancourt got his start in the modeling world thanks to a huge campaign with designer Tom Ford. He ended up becoming one of the faces of the brand, and has maintained his friendship with Ford for more than 10 years.

He loves acting

Modeling isn't Betancourt's only foray into the entertainment world — he's also an actor. According to one of his modeling profiles, acting has always been "one of his great passions." He can be spotted in some short advertising films, as well as international television programs like Masterchef Celebrity.

Betancourt was a contestant in the second edition of El Desafio, a Spanish game show where celebrities compete in a variety of tests, and he appeared in the second season of the Spanish television show Toy Boy. In 2018, Betancourt appeared in the Netflix film The Law of Thermodynamics.

He started dating Badosa in 2021

Badosa and Betancourt started dating in 2021. While they never officially announced that they were a couple, Badosa posted a series of now-deleted photos of them together in September 2021 that made it clear they were an item. She captioned the post, "Happy bday to the one and only. Let's keep growing together. Love you." It included photos of them smiling at each other in Times Square in New York City, hugging in the rain and making faces in the back of a car.

Betancourt shared his first photo of the pair kissing for his own birthday post in September 2021.

He regularly traveled with Badosa

Between modeling, acting and keeping up with his former tennis superstar girlfriend, Betancourt was constantly on the move. A glance at his Instagram account showed him in new locales all the time, sometimes on his own, but usually with Badosa.

Betancourt shared photos of the former couple in cities such as Jalisco, Marbella, Rome, San Francisco, Tokyo and Dubai.

They weren't in a rush to get married

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

Betancourt enjoyed playing tennis with his former girlfriend from time to time.

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

He also regularly attended Badosa's matches to cheer her on. In June 2022, Betancourt posted a photo of himself at Wimbledon with the caption, "First time at Wimby." Badosa commented, "But not last."
