Matteo Berrettini is once again making headlines at the French Open. The Italian star has reached the Roland Garros 2026 quarterfinals and is now just one win away from a place in the last four. The former World No. 6 has shown strong form throughout the tournament and now prepares for a crucial all-Italian clash against Matteo Arnaldi.
Off-Court Interest in Berrettini's Personal Life
Off the court, fans are showing interest in his personal life and relationship history. Over the years, Berrettini has been linked with several well-known personalities. His relationships have often attracted attention from tennis fans and the media. From fellow tennis professional Ajla Tomljanovic to television presenter Melissa Satta and influencer Federica Lelli, the Italian has had a few high-profile romances. Currently, Berrettini is in a relationship with Italian dancer Vanessa Bellini, who has been by his side during an important stage of his tennis career.
Relationship with Ajla Tomljanovic
One of Matteo Berrettini's most famous relationships was with Croatian-Australian tennis player Ajla Tomljanovic. The couple started dating in 2019 and remained together until 2022. They regularly supported each other at tournaments and became one of tennis' most recognized couples. During an interview in 2021, Berrettini admitted that his performances improved after they started dating. He explained that having a partner who understood the demands of professional tennis and constant travel helped him both personally and professionally. Their relationship ended in 2022.
Romance with Melissa Satta
In January 2023, Berrettini began dating Italian television presenter and model Melissa Satta. Their relationship received significant media attention. Satta was frequently blamed by critics for Berrettini's struggles with injuries and inconsistent results. Speaking about the criticism at the time, Satta said she had faced months of unfair comments from both the media and social media users. She added that she preferred to stay calm and not respond publicly, believing she was strong enough to handle the judgment. The couple separated in February 2024, with Berrettini later confirming the breakup was friendly and mutual.
Brief Relationship with Federica Lelli
Soon after, Berrettini entered a relationship with Rome-based influencer Federica Lelli. Unlike his previous romances, this relationship remained largely private. The pair rarely shared details publicly, and neither commented when the relationship eventually ended.
Current Relationship with Vanessa Bellini
Today, Berrettini is dating Italian dancer Vanessa Bellini. The couple reportedly met at a concert in Turin in June 2025 and later confirmed their relationship on social media. Earlier this year, they enjoyed a vacation together after the Monte-Carlo Masters, where they also celebrated Berrettini's 30th birthday. Bellini shared a special photo from the trip, highlighting the strong bond between the couple as Berrettini continues his French Open campaign.
