Costeen Hatzi has spent her summer in Europe, enjoying her first overseas girls’ trip — a milestone that carried extra meaning for the 25-year-old. “I’ve never gone on a girls’ trip overseas,” she told Stellar.
Before meeting former partner Nick Kyrgios, Hatzi had never left Australia. “Nick really showed me the world, but this [was] more of a holiday, just to live life to the fullest,” she explained, according to The Daily Telegraph.
For three years, she traveled with Kyrgios while he competed worldwide, but their breakup became public in March. Now, speaking openly for the first time, Hatzi reflected on her past and embraced her new independence.
“I was fully supportive,” she said. “I went to all the tournaments. I was doing everything behind the scenes – his washing, his cooking … everything. I was happy to, because I loved him and we had a great relationship at the time. So I don’t regret anything that I’ve done.”
She added, “It’s different now. I have all this time for myself. I’m in a really reflective but motivated place… it wasn’t a shock.”
Hatzi has channeled her energy into her fashion brand Style Studio and content creation for her 174,000 Instagram followers. “I’ve been leaning deeper into my career with fashion and beauty and content creation. It’s a big focus for me – building a brand that’s accessible and empowering, and style forward for women.”
Though she and Kyrgios “don’t talk,” Hatzi remains positive: “That chapter of my life was meaningful and I’m grateful for the memories… I’m really just embracing this next chapter of rediscovery and independence.”
For now, romance can wait. “I’m just focused on myself,” she said.
