Laila Hasanovic Breaks Silence on Sinner Relationship: "Jannik is a Source of Inspiration"
Laila Hasanovic has broken her silence regarding her relationship with world number one tennis player, Jannik Sinner, in an interview with Danish magazine ELLE Danmark. Despite being one of the most high-profile couples in sports, the model and the athlete have largely kept their private lives out of the spotlight.
The Danish model described her boyfriend's dedication to his sport as a significant source of inspiration. "I'm in a relationship with someone who dedicates an incredible amount of their time to their passion, and I find that truly inspiring," she stated, admitting that the world of tennis was entirely new to her. "It's a world I didn't grow up in and had never had any contact with before," she added.
Hasanovic emphasized that despite their fame, they have managed to build a normal and stable relationship. "Fortunately, Jannik and I have been able to create our own space where we can be 100% ourselves and a completely normal couple. We have a normal, stable relationship behind the scenes," she assured.
The model also explained that the nature of Sinner's career means their relationship is long-distance, regardless of where she lives. "We live in our respective countries, but even if I moved in with him tomorrow, it would still be a long-distance relationship because he spends almost the entire year traveling the world to play tournaments," she noted. Nevertheless, Laila Hasanovic has been seen multiple times in Monaco, where her boyfriend resides.
In a more lighthearted moment, Laila Hasanovic shared an amusing anecdote about her first live tennis match experience. Sinner invited her to attend the 2025 Roland Garros final, where the Italian was defeated by Carlos Alcaraz. The model confessed her surprise at the match's duration, which stretched to five and a half hours, due to her unfamiliarity with the sport.
