Daria Kasatkina, a prominent tennis player, has publicly announced her engagement to girlfriend and former Olympic figure-skater Natalia Zabiiako on Instagram. Following her coming out as gay in 2022 and in response to Russia's intolerant environment towards LGBTQ+ individuals, Kasatkina decided to represent Australia, having recently been granted residency by the Australian government. She expresses excitement about this new chapter in her life while acknowledging her roots. While her career continues to unfold, she faces challenges, recently losing in the first round of the Queens tournament.
"I will always have respect and fond appreciation for my roots but I am thrilled to start this new chapter in my career and my life under the Australian flag."
"And just like that" as Zabiiako showed off a cut diamond ring.
"Ahhh congrats," wrote Katie Boulter in response to the couple's engagement news.
"I will be at the wedding regardless if you want it or not," commented Arina Rodionova.
