Fresh off her dominant run at the 2025 Wuhan Open, Coco Gauff is serving up a different kind of highlight — this time off the court. The 21-year-old American star, who reclaimed her place among tennis’s elite with a flawless title run, swapped forehands for fun this week as she enjoyed a carefree night out with boyfriend Jalen Sera in Florida.
A Champion Unwinding in Style
After conquering Wuhan without dropping a set, Gauff made her return home to Florida, where she allowed herself a rare moment of rest — and a chance to celebrate. Her performance in Wuhan was nothing short of electric: as the third seed, she powered through the field before sealing her victory over Jessica Pegula in straight sets, 6-4, 7-5. It was her third WTA 1000 title and her first major trophy since her 2023 French Open triumph.
But rather than jumping straight back into training, Gauff decided to savor the moment. The young superstar was spotted enjoying an evening at a Thundercat concert alongside Jalen Sera, her longtime partner. The couple shared lighthearted snippets of their night on social media — smiling, dancing, and basking in the post-victory glow. Fans couldn’t get enough of their chemistry, calling them “the cutest duo in tennis.”
Love, Music, and Memories
Sera, an Atlanta-born musician and aspiring actor, has been a steady presence in Gauff’s life since 2023. Their love story could easily headline a Netflix rom-com — after all, Gauff’s mother, Candi, was once Sera’s fourth-grade teacher. What began as a childhood friendship turned into something deeper years later, and now the pair are inseparable. In June 2025, they celebrated their second anniversary with a touching video collaboration with Bose, marking how far they’ve come both personally and professionally.
At the Thundercat concert, the pair looked effortlessly relaxed — a well-earned breather after months of travel, pressure, and competition. “You can tell Coco’s just happy,” one fan commented under a viral clip from the night. “She’s glowing — and it’s not just the stage lights.”
A Balanced Life for a Rising Icon
Gauff’s off-court moments have become a reflection of her maturity. While she continues to chase Grand Slam glory, her ability to balance intense ambition with genuine joy has earned her praise from fans and peers alike.
With the WTA season nearing its final stretch, Gauff’s focus will soon shift back to the court — but for now, her post-Wuhan victory celebration proves that the world No. 3 isn’t just mastering her game; she’s mastering the art of living.
Love, laughter, and a championship trophy — Coco Gauff’s 2025 might just be her most unforgettable year yet.
