Katie Boulter put on a leggy display in pink tweed shorts as she heads out in Chelsea

Katie Boulter, the newest number 1 in British women’s tennis, headed to Chelsea on Thursday with her tennis star boyfriend Alex De Minaur for some retail therapy.

The tennis star, 26, came into the limelight after replacing Emma Raducanu in the rankings to claim her first WTA title at the Nottingham Open two weeks ago.

In a few days, the star will be back on court to begin her final Wimbledon campaign.

Ahead of her next grueling challenge, Katie headed to sunny London to spend some relaxing time with her Australian hunk, 24.

She put on pink tweed shorts from Parisian fashion label Maje and paired her ensemble with a white cropped shirt with oversized shoulders.

The tennis star walked hand in hand with Alex on Kings Road as tennis’ new ‘It couple’.

Katie showed off her toned torso and slim legs in the city and Alex also showed off his tanned legs.

The pair looked as loved-up as ever as they opted for matching white trainers, while Katie wore a pink and white Nike backpack.

The beauty went makeup-free as she flaunted her bare-faced beauty and blonde blonde locks that were half-up, half-up.

Alex wore a baseball cap backwards and sported a trendy, casual look in a gray T-shirt and blue shorts.

Alex and Katie have been dating since 2020 and live nearby in West London.

Speaking of her relationship, Katie admitted that it had been a slow burner between the pair.

She said, “We sort of knew each other beforehand, but we never had coffee or dinner or anything like that.”

‘During the tennis tour you see a lot of people, but you don’t necessarily know them.’

‘I couldn’t wish for better. He’s the best support I have.’

The Leicester-born star, who was raised by her single mother Sue, is now nurturing the hopes of British tennis fans after US Open winner Emma was forced to miss this year’s Wimbledon due to injury.

Katie posted a photo of herself with the trophy after the tournament and Alex replied, “I’m not sure which is more impressive, the title or the biceps.”

Ranked 18th in the world, Alex came second in last week’s Queen’s Club Championships and won over the Wimbledon crowd last year with a shout out to Katie.

After beating Jack Draper in the second round, he said, “Before we talk about my match, can we talk about Katie Boulter for a second today? I mean, she had a pretty good win herself.”

Katie has several major endorsement deals, including with Airbnb, Jaguar and Range Rover.

Katie was featured in the August issue of Tatler magazine as the cover star posing in a chic Ralph Lauren outfit with gold jewelry dangling down.

Katie suggested that she use commercial opportunities to boost her confidence.

However, unlike Emma, ​​Katie has yet to receive any criticism, rightly or wrongly, for taking advantage of the opportunities.

It helps her believe she belongs at the top of the UK rankings and even the front pages when she faces Barbora Krejcikova, the Czech world number 10, today in Eastbourne.
