Nick Kyrgios gushes over Costeen Hatzi’s transformation

Nick Kyrgios has been left all giddy as his girlfriend Costeen Hatzi showed off a new look in photos taken behind the scenes.

Nick Kyrgios has joked he will be able to retire soon as his girlfriend Costeen Hatzi’s star continues to grow.

The Aussie tennis player on Monday shared photos from behind the scenes at his partner’s promotional photo shoot and his posts appear to show the 27-year-old is more lovestruck than ever.

Hatzi, 22, has become one of Australia’s highest profile lifestyle and cosmetic products influencers with her social media presence growing to include 170,000 followers on Instagram.

She this week shared photos of her preparing for the launch of a campaign with Bondi Sands.

Hatzi praised the work of make up artist Jack Cail who helped transform her look ahead of the shoot.

Kyrgios was fully in favour of her new look.

“Proud of you @costeenhatzi,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories.

“Damn, early retirement for me maybe if you keep killing it.” His post included heart and crown emojis while also describing her as “queen”.

He shared another of Hatzi’s selfies on his Instagram Stories, writing: “Beautiful. I got the best in the world”.

He earlier commented on Hatzi’s photo by writing: “The girl doing big things!!!! Proud of you baby, we are really taking over”.

Hatzi, meanwhile, also shared a sneak peak from the shoot with Bondi Sands while thanking Cail and hair stylist Dimitri Kyvetos for working with her.

“This hair & makeup was insaneee,” she wrote.

A photo posted last month after a recent holiday following the Australian Open showed Hatzi in a much more natural look.

Kyrgios recently suggested he is going to marry Hatzi, who has been sporting a diamond ring on her engagement for the past 12 months.

Kyrgios in May appeared to confirm their wedding plans when responding to a fan on Instagram by typing the wedding will be happening “very soon”. The post included a “heart” emoji and a “diamond ring” emoji.

He also has her first name tattooed on his left thigh.

Kyrgios also recently commented on a photo Hatzi posted by writing: “I can’t wait to life with you”.

Inside Costeen Hatzi’s high life

Hatzi said it was love at first sight for her and Kyrgios when they first met up in Sydney.

Kyrgios makes no secret of his adoration of Costeen, who previously dated Love Island Australia hunk Conor Howard for a year, The Sun reports.

Kyrgios messaged her on Instagram after spotting an advert of her selling a mirror, and they started seeing each other after he turned up at her door to buy it.

He regularly posts loved-up snaps and gushing comments - calling her “the best thing about 2022” despite his success on court.

On their anniversary, the smitten sportsman shared a sweet post captioned: “A year since we met and everything became better.”

Kyrgios’ manager Daniel Horsfall says Costeen has had a positive impact on his game.

He told ESPN: “I’ve seen [Nick] in previous relationships, and they perhaps were taking him in the other direction. She lifts him up and gives him motivation and inspiration, and she’s just a great partner to him.”

After his doubles victory in Australia, Costeen posted a snap of them kissing on court, writing: “I love you so much and I am extremely proud of you. What an achievement, there’s no one else more deserving than you.”

Kyrgios has also changed his mind about competing at the French Open - after branding it the “worst Grand Slam” in 2021 - because “my girlfriend wants to know Paris”.

The couple now live together in a plush $2 million three-bedroom penthouse suite in Sydney.

Costeen has certainly enjoyed a taste of the high life since meeting Kyrgios, travelling around the world with him on their private jet.

She joined him in America for the Indian Wells and Miami Opens.

The couple have enjoyed luxury holidays to the Bahamas - where they swam in the sea with pigs — as well as New York, Italy and Saudi Arabia.

Kyrgios enjoys splurging on decadent gifts for her, treating her to a giant bouquet of red roses shortly after they went ‘Insta-official’ in January last year.

He’s believed to have spent around $50K on luxury jewellery, including a $16,000 Cartier Love bracelet engraved with their initials.

He’s also gifted her a Rolex, a Van Cleef & Arpels vintage Alhambra bracelet and two yellow gold Love rings worth.

Kyrgios often treats her to designer handbags - including a £2K Louis Vuitton, a £2,850 Dior Saddle Bag and a £1.6K pink lambskin Balenciaga - joking he’s adding to her “collection”.

In November last year she shared a video of her supervising the tennis champ while he fixed a rail in her closet, showing off rows of expensive accessories.

The pair have sparked engagement rumours in the past, and Kyrgios has claimed Costeen is “definitely the one”.
