The British tennis player and Carlo Agostinelli are rumored to be romantically involved, but what else is known?
With the exception of injuries, she is the rising star of British tennis, the US Open champion, and a highly marketable athlete.
He’s the football-playing son of an American billionaire, a former head boy at Harrow School, and apparently Emma Raducanu’s new(ish) lover.
This week, Carlo Agostinelli and Raducanu seemed to confirm that they were an item when they showed up arm in arm at a Paris Fashion Week event at the Tuileries Garden.
Who is the wavy-locked lothario of Raducanu, 20 years old? Agostinelli was born in Paris, attended school in Britain, where he led the French and Italian societies and was chosen as Head of School at Harrow, and then attended Stanford University in California to study international relations.
The 23-year-old is the son of banker Robert Agostinelli, who was born to Italian parents in Rochester, New York, and has four siblings.
As of right now, more is known about Carlo’s father than about him. Agostinelli Senior moved to Lazard in 1987 after joining Goldman Sachs in 1982. In 1995, he struck out on his own and established Rhone Group, a private equity business located in New York.
The business managed billions of dollars after that. According to a Forbes biography, he is a close buddy of George W. Bush and Nicolas Sarkozy and supports a number of right-wing initiatives.
Notable figures include Carlo’s mother, Mathilde Favier, who has worked as a public relations manager for Dior for the past 12 years and is described as “in charge of celebrities worldwide” in her Instagram bio.
Before beginning a career in fashion, Favier studied languages for two years at the Sorbonne and worked as an intern at Chanel when he was fourteen years old. She worked at Prada for eleven years before joining Dior, as reported by Vogue.
Carlo seems to lead a flashy, jet-set life, as one might anticipate. However, it wasn’t until early this year when Raducanu, who is also a Dior ambassador, was mentioned in it.
He uploaded photos of the tennis player while on vacation in Mexico in May, sparking speculation that they were romantically linked. Raducanu took advantage of the same trip to upload photos of himself. The internet concluded that there was a problem.
In a noteworthy new development, the couple was spotted together departing Whole Foods in Kensington on July 12 — the clean-eating equivalent of bumbling out of a nightclub and into the back of a taxi in the present era.
Raducanu and Agostinelli were also seen leaving the Mayfair private members’ club Oswald’s together in July. Agostinelli had apparently celebrated his 23rd birthday there. If the rules of celebrity dating are correctly followed, these two will undoubtedly become known together as Raducanelli.
Raducanu was photographed outside Agostinelli’s £2 million Kensington home last month. The proof was mounting. Sports are undoubtedly their primary interests, and if we are to judge the college midfielder Agostinelli by his captions on Instagram, which we must, then we will discover that he thinks “football is life.”
According to his Stanford soccer profile page, he did in fact try out for PSG Academy, INF Clairefontaine, and Tottenham Hotspur before entering high school. He also spent three months in the Tottenham development team before being awarded a football scholarship to Harrow School for “exceptional talent.”
He demonstrated his academic and athletic prowess by winning the medal for finest ancient historian as a student at the British public school.
His sister Heloise, a model and the former girlfriend of Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing, and brother Massimo, an artist living in Switzerland, are two additional well-known family members. Heloise was in the reality show as well.
Given the Dior link, Tatler speculates that Raducanu and Agostinelli “will have been pals for some time.” The two have not disclosed any information about their apparent relationship to the public.
