It seems bad boy Nick Kyrgios has a new love interest following his recent split from long-time girlfriend Costeen Hatzi — and he’s certainly got a type.
The tennis star has fuelled romance rumours after dropping a series of flirty comments on the Instagram page of Love Island beauty Mia Dalkos, who bears more than a striking resemblance to Hatzi.
Dalkos, 23, whose real name is Efthimia, first caught Kyrgios’ attention late last month.
The flirtation kicked off last week when Dalkos posted a video of herself at a hair salon.
The sportsman was quick to leave a cheeky eye emoji beneath the clip, and Dalkos responded with a coy smiling emoji of her own.
The banter didn’t stop there. The next day, Dalkos shared photos from her sister’s wedding, where she stunned in a black dress. “Beautiful,” Kyrgios commented, prompting Dalkos to reply with a red love heart.
Fans quickly picked up on the flirty back-end-forth with one asking in the comments, “Are you guys dating now?”
Neither Kyrgios or Dalkos have confirmed their relationship publicly beyond their Instagram interactions.
When approached by Daily Mail Australia, a spokesman for Kyrgios denied any romance, saying the pair are simply longtime friends.
“They have know each other for a while and are good friends! Big Gordon Ramsay fans also,” the spokesman said.
The speculation comes two months after Hatzi confirmed her split from Kyrgios, telling The Daily Telegraph that she’s in a good place.
“It’s been great,” she said in April.
“I’m still going on with work and I have a few different brands that I’m working with at the moment. I’m grateful to have this life and hopefully keep on going.”
The 25-year-old added, “I think it’s always important to put yourself first and do what makes you happy.”
Hatzi and Kyrgios dated for four years, after meeting in late 2021 via Instagram when she was selling a mirror.
