Nick Kyrgios‘ girlfriend Costeen Hatzi says being a WAG isn’t all glamour.
In fact, it’s often a bit boring.
The Sydney-based fashion influencer, 24, told 9Honey her high-flying life of exclusive event invitations, designer fashion, and private jet travel comes with its own unique downsides.
‘I spend a lot of time alone on the tour,’ she said.
‘I wake up in the morning, we go get breakfast, then we go into the courts,’ she told the website.
‘Nick trains for about an hour and a half, we go back to the player’s lounge, eat some food, then come back home and Nick gets physio.’

The Sydney-based fashion influencer, 24, told 9Honey her high-flying life of exclusive event invitations, designer fashion, and private jet travel comes with its own unique downsides.
She continued: ‘Nick and I spend some time together in the afternoon, maybe we go to dinner or have dinner at home… but I’m basically working around his schedule.’
‘I think Nick’s used to it because he’s been doing it for about 10 years now,’ she says.
‘But for me, I definitely feel it.’
Costeen celebrated her three-year anniversary with the tennis pro, 29, in recent weeks.
Prior to their romance, she was a university student with a desk job she ‘hated’, and vague aspirations to work in social media.
In 2021, the brunette beauty was working as a receptionist at a car dealership while finishing a degree in psychological science.
‘I always wanted to go into the influencer role, because I feel like it suits my personality. I love fashion. I love beauty. But I never really took it seriously,’ she told Stellar magazine.

Nick, who Costeen only knew as a bad headline magnet, slid into her DMs on Instagram after she advertised a mirror for sale on her small business page.
‘He messaged my business page asking if the mirror was available. It was strictly professional. But then,’ she adds, ‘he messaged my personal page, and invited me out to dinner.’
‘The only thing I knew about him was a media outlet saying he’s a brat.’
‘In hindsight, I should have just been a bit less judgmental.’
Costeen said the man she met couldn’t have been more different from the one she read about in tabloids.
They fell in love.
Media attention on their relationship saw Costeen’s following balloon from 9,000 to 180,000 in months, and the online trolling increase too.
With all the time she spends online, the influencer said it’s hard to refrain from replying to all the people who rip into the man she loves.
‘Sometimes I think, you have no idea what he’s going through, or you don’t know he’s how much work he’s put in behind the scenes,’ she says.
Now, Costeen runs a dress hire business, has brands lining up to work with her, and also features alongside him in the new Netflix docuseries, Break Point.
But the constant travel means she spends months living away from friends and family, she told the publication.
‘It’s really easy to get lost and caught up in your partner’s life, especially if they’re a global athlete,’ she also told WHO magazine.
‘It’s important for me to have my own life and my own goals, too.’
