The teenage sensation last year signed one of the richest deals reportedly ever offered by Nike as the sporting apparel giant went all in on the world No. 30.
The long-term endorsement deal with Nike, which was reported to be similar to the $102 million mega deal signed by Maria Sharapova, saw Anisimova compared to tennis icon Anna Kournikova.
Anisimova has been travelling with Tyler in recent months and shared their journey on social media.
A video of the pair posted on Tyler’s Instagram stories showed them partying on a boat with friends.
Former Melbourne Demons and Sydney Swans coach Paul even commented on a photo from October which showed the couple snuggled up on the beach together.
Tyler, a former footy player in Melbourne, remains a part-time model through Brazen Models in Melbourne.
He also featured in the 2019 edition of The Amazing Race on Channel 10 where he was partnered with Tom Wilkinson.
Anisimova has endured a turbulent year as a result of COVID-19 wreaking havoc across the tennis world.
The teenager has also been trying to continue with her life despite the tragic passing of her father in 2019.
Her father and former coach, Konstantin Anisimova, passed away suddenly of a reported heart attack in August last year at 52, just one week before her 18th birthday.
“It was the worst thing that ever happened to me,” Anisimova told The New York Post of her dad’s death.
“It was very tough.”
Things are looking much better for her heading into 2021.
