Nick Kyrgios’ ex-girlfriend shared a picture of herself cosying up to a mystery man on Instagram.

Turning heads in a lime green dress, Chiara Passari was seen cuddling up to the man who fans are speculating might be a brand new beau.

Ms Passari reshared the picture to her Instagram story, posted by Boston-Joel Bobbert, on Monday evening.

The young man, wearing a grey suit, wrapped an arm around Ms Passari as he clutched a beer.

The post comes after Ms Passari endured a heavily publicised break-up with the former world no. 13.

In February, Kyrgios pleaded guilty to physically assaulting Ms Passari, avoiding conviction after his case was dismissed in the ACT Magistrates Court.

Prior to his guilty plea, the tennis star unsuccessfully attempted to have the charges dealt with on mental health grounds.

The incident occurred in 2021 while Kyrgios and Ms Passari were dating, with the current world no. 24 pushing her to the floor during a verbal disagreement.

In October 2022, Ms Passari took to Instagram to share the emotional struggles she endured in the aftermath of the bitter break-up.

“From losing all hope in love, in myself and in any form of happiness or meaning,” she wrote.

“Never being able to genuinely smile or understand my purpose in this life.”

Ms Passari revealed that at her lowest point she was unable to eat, turning to drugs and alcohol to “help”.

“Then spontaneously moving to a new city, hearing my laugh again, finding my people, loving food again, becoming excited for life,” she said.

“Being closer to my family than I ever have been and starting over.

“It’s all in the universe’s hands and is all one big f**ked up journey, but all I know is we will always come out of the other end to reach the light.”

Kyrgios began a new relationship with Sydney blogger, influencer and interior designer Costeen Hatzi in December 2021.

Ms Hatzi revealed in Netflix’s docu-series “Break Point” that the two met online.

Often posting supportive messages and tributes to Instagram, Ms Hatzi regularly travels with her partner to his matches abroad, with her desire to visit Paris reportedly motivating Kyrgios to return to Roland-Garros in 2023.
