The Chicago Blackhawks center and the professional golfer, who is presently ranked first on the LPGA Tour, have been dating since 2019. Over the years, the couple has given fans a few insights inside their relationship, despite the fact that they generally keep their personal lives more private.
The hockey player, who was born in Canada, described his feelings about watching his girlfriend compete in the 2022 Canadian Women’s Open to TSN. “It’s fairly fun, it’s nerve-wracking.”
“I don’t really like to watch, I get fairly apprehensive behind the shoot,” he continued.
Here is everything there is to know about Nelly Korda and Andreas Athanasiou’s relationship, from when they first started dating to how they have helped one another.
They’ve been linked since 2019

It’s unknown when Korda and Athanasiou began dating, but the pro athletes were publicly linked for the first time in 2019.
They reportedly debuted their relationship on Instagram with a now-deleted selfie posted on Thanksgiving Day.

Athanasiou inked a $3 million, one-year contract with the Chicago Blackhawks in July 2022. The next month, Korda supported Athanasiou’s new squad by nodding while competing at the Canadian Women’s Open in front of her boyfriend.
According to a video that the LPGA on X (previously known as Twitter) released, the professional golfer was strolling around the green wearing a Blackhawks jersey that was blank of a number or name while the commentators talked about Athanasiou’s career.
Since they were first connected in 2019, Korda and Athanasiou have largely kept their romance out of the public eye.
They don’t talk about each other or their relationship on social media, and they haven’t gone to any red carpet events together.
Korda usually confines her Instagram posts to golf-related content, but Athanasiou maintains a private account with no posts.
Athanasiou has attended Korda’s tournaments
Attending Korda’s tournaments, Athanasiou was present as she emerged victorious in the June 2021 Meijer LPGA Classic held at Blythefield Country Club in Belmont, Michigan. Following Korda’s victory, the two were seen cuddling and kissing while holding her new trophy.
It’s enjoyable to take part in. She performed so beautifully,” Athanasiou said to reporters following her victory—Korda’s first with him present. “Watching is really different than playing, so it’s exciting,” I’m overjoyed for her.
“I’m glad to be here and see the win, the first one I get to be a part of,” he said to continue. Thus, I’m thrilled for her and I’m sure there will be many more.
