Love Island’s Ekin-Su addresses Grigor Dimitrov dating rumors on Watch What Happens Live

Oh lord, not Ekin-Su!

The Love Island and Traitors reality star addressed rumors that she and world No. 10 Grigor Dimitrov were a…mixed doubles team(?) on Watch What Happens Live Thursday night.

“We’re friends, we stay in touch, and that’s my private life,” she said after appearing shocked by the question coming from host Andy Cohen.

British tabloid *Daily Mail* first reported that Ekin-Su and Dimitrov were “secretly dating” during the US Open, alleging that the former has been reluctant to make the relationship public.

“They were just trying to lay low, they weren't trying to attract attention,” said a source who spotted the pair walking the streets of Paris.

“They looked good together, she was smiling and laughing, and they just looked like we were having fun. Ekin-Su seemed really relaxed, it was obvious there was chemistry, and you couldn't help but notice them.

“They looked really comfortable in each other's company.”

Even before the rumors hit newsstands, Ekin-Su was appearing to indulge a newfound love for tennis this summer, attending the 2024 Wimbledon Championships in July and hitting the courts of the Monte Carlo Country Club—notably where Dimitrov lives and trains.

The 33-year-old Dimitrov has been in the midst of a career-revitalizing season, returning to the Top 10 and reaching two major quarterfinals in 2024. Last on court to compete for Team Europe at Laver Cup, the Bulgarian is yet to comment on the situation(ship?).

If it all ends up the rumors are true, hopefully no one tells Andrey Rublev: it would break the poor boy’s heart!
