Tennis star Garbiñe Muguruza is marrying Arthus Borges in Spain after the couple met during the US Open in New York’s Central Park

Two-time Grand Slam champion Garbiñe Muguruza tied the knot with her model boyfriend, just over three years since the former fan approached the tennis star on the streets of New York looking for a selfie.

Muguruza, the former world No. 1, and her new husband Arthur Borges said their “I do” in an intimate ceremony in Marbella, Spain, on October 5.

According to an Instagram post of hers, the retired tennis star wore an elegant Mikado A-line dress by Pronovias with an asymmetrical neckline, a crystal-encrusted collar and a 6-foot train, complete with a large white bow over her left shoulder for her special day .

For the reception, Muguruza wore a strapless flapper-style column dress with crystal fringe and embroidered flowers, also by Pronovias.

Borges wore a dark blue tuxedo with a matching bow tie and cummerbund.

The couple met during the 2021 US Open, albeit in the peaceful atmosphere of Central Park rather than the glow of the lights of the Billy Jean King National Tennis Center.

Muguruza had stayed in Manhattan during the tournament and needed some fresh air and a break from the hustle and bustle of the American major.

“My hotel was near Central Park and I was bored so I thought I should go for a walk,” the tennis star said in 2023, according to The Sun.

“I go out and meet him on the street. Suddenly he turns around and says, “Good luck at the US Open.” I thought, ‘Wow, he’s so pretty.'”

The two had posed for a photo and gone their separate ways that day, but continued to see each other regularly in the park.

Muguruza described the chance meeting with the businessman as something out of a romantic movie.

“It’s a total movie,” she told Spanish outlet Hola! “I knew I was going to marry him even before he asked me. When we met it was love at first sight and we realized very quickly that we were an ideal couple.”

The couple announced their engagement in May 2023 and revealed that Burges popped the big question in a joint Instagram post.

“You had me at ‘Hello,'” the post was captioned, geotagging the dreamy proposal from Marbella, Spain.

The couple had previously mentioned how important the southern Spanish city was to them.

“We want it to be held near the beach and in Spain next summer because it is the place that connects us the most,” Muguruza told Hola!

Muguruza, a native of Venezuela, won the French Open title in 2016 and Wimbledon in 2017.

In April 2024, she announced her official retirement from tennis.
