Okay, so if it’s not Vukov, is there anyone else? Good question. No. Unlike some players who get linked to soccer stars or models, Rybakina’s name isn’t tied to any other man or woman. She’s a ghost. There was a brief flicker of chatter about a mysterious guy in the player box at the 2026 Australian Open, but it turned out to be her fitness trainer. Yawn.
US Open 2026: Elena Rybakina 'happy' to have banned coach Stefano Vukov
It’s actually kind of refreshing, if you think about it. In a world where everyone’s relationship status is a public commodity, Rybakina has drawn a hard line. She’s not here to feed our curiosity; she’s here to serve aces and hoist trophies. And honestly? Good for her. But my inner gossip columnist can’t help but sigh a little.
The Real Question: Why Do We Even Care?
Let’s be honest with ourselves—you clicked on this article because you wanted an answer. Me too. We love sports partly for the drama, the human stories, the secret romances that make the cold, hard stats feel warm. But Rybakina isn’t playing that game. She’s giving us the cold shoulder, and it drives us bonkers. Maybe that’s her ultimate power move: making us obsess over what we can’t have.
So, does Elena Rybakina have a boyfriend? The official answer is no, and the unofficial answer is a giant question mark. Is Stefano Vukov more than a coach? We don’t know, and they aren’t telling. Until she decides to spill the tea (or until a paparazzo catches a kiss), we’re stuck in limbo. All we can do is watch her play, marvel at her backhand, and accept that some mysteries are meant to stay unsolved. Now stop refreshing her social media. I know you’re doing it.
