Shapovalov is engaged to his longtime partner Bjorklund, a Swedish tennis player. They first crossed paths in 2019 and started dating soon after. In July 2023, the Canadian got down on one knee for a romantic proposal in Bastad. The couple shared the adorable moment with their fans and followers on social media.
"Been on cloud nine this last week @denis.shapovalov. Lifetime to go," Bjorklund said at the time.
In July 2024, during the Wimbledon Championships, Denis Shapovalov confirmed that he is set to marry Mirjam Bjorklund in 2025. As their wedding nears, the latter has kicked off her preparations for the big day.
She recently visited a wedding dress boutique with her sister Tanja and mother Maria to try on the mesmerizing white bridal outfits, expressing her delight on Instagram.

Denis Shapovalov on his and Mirjam Bjorklund's wedding: "It's going to be a very intimate, small thing"
During his interview with Tennis Channel at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, Denis Shapovalov hilariously confessed that his fiance has been putting in the extra hours to have everything for their wedding.
"I think she's doing much more of it than I am, I think it's going well," the 2021 semifinalist said while talking to Martina Navratilova and Steve Weissman.
"Obviously getting married next year, and we're preparing, we're getting ready, sending the invites and stuff, things are moving along," Shapovalov added.
The former World No. 10, who recently won his second career title at the Belgrade Open, also confirmed that none of his tennis colleagues would be attending the wedding.
"No pros, it’s going to be a very intimate, small thing," he said.
The Canadian hilariously apologized to his compatriot and friend Felix Auger-Aliassime, who himself got engaged to longtime partner Nina Ghaibi recently, for not sending the invite.
"I'm sorry Felix (Auger-Aliassime). No pros are invited, mainly just family and friends from really long time ago," Shapovalov said.
While Shapovalov has confirmed the wedding year, he hasn't shared any other details regarding their upcoming ceremony.
