"Y'all are perfect together" - Casper Ruud's sisters Charlotte and Caroline in awe as Norwegian gets engaged to girlfriend Maria Galligani
Casper Ruud's sisters Charlotte and Caroline were over the moon after the Norwegian got engaged to longtime girlfriend Maria Galligani. The couple made their relationship public in 2018, a landmark year for Ruud in personal and professional capacities.
Ruud reached the main draw of a Grand Slam, the Australia Open, for the first time in 2018. However, during the same year, he made his relationship with his now-fiancee Maria Galligani public as he posted some pictures of them together from their trip to London and Paris. Galligani has since shown the Norwegian her unbridled support, being a constant presence in his box.
Six years after making his relationship public, the 25-year-old has announced his engagement to Galligani via Instagram. He shared some beautiful photos from their engagement.
"Can’t wait to marry you," Ruud captioned his post.
Ruud's sisters Charlotte and Caroline, also a huge support system for the Norwegian, expressed their delight under their brother's post.
His younger sister Charlotte wrote:
"Happy for you." A translated version of the original comment.
Casper Ruud's elder sister Caroline also chimed in with:
"Y'all are perfect together." A translated version of the original comment.
The two Ruud sisters also commented on Maria Galligani's Instagram post. Both of them expressed their excitement about getting another sister.
"You are the prettiest. Can’t wait to get another sister," Charlotte wrote.
"We are the luckiest in the world to get the world’s finest new sister," Caroline said.
Despite being in the limelight as a result of being Casper Ruud's girlfriend, Maria Galligani has kept her private life low-profile. One instance would be how she has chosen to keep her Instagram profile private despite having 19.6k followers.
"It's a lot of things before you have time for maybe your partner" - Casper Ruud hails fiancee Maria Galligani's patience
Casper Ruud recently discussed his now-fiancee Maria Galligani's decision to keep her life low-profile explaining how she also had to deal with the changes that the Norwegian's life went through as he reached the upper echelons of the tennis world.
"It's her choice. Obviously, we met before I got to the level I was at now, so things have changed for her, as well, and it hasn't always been easy," Casper Ruud said during an interview with We Are Tennis.
"There are more things in my life that I have to take care of now than when we met. So when you're together with or a girlfriend or partner or fiancée, wife of an athlete, you have to be prioritized No. 3, 4, 5 even some days, because there are many other things that I have to do before."
The World No. 6 added how Galligani had been patient with the huge changes in her life that have caused Ruud to spend less time with her. He also said that her decision to remain low profile exhibited how she wanted to be in control of her own life.
"It's tennis, it's treatment, it's media, it's maybe meeting a sponsor. It's a lot of things before you have time for maybe your partner."
"So she's been very, very patient and great with these things, and on the social media side and kind of headlight side, she doesn't want it. She wants to be her own, in control of her own kind of life and especially personal life. I'm happy that she's found that way."
On the tennis side of things, Casper Ruud's 2024 season came to an end in the semifinals of the ATP Finals where he lost to the eventual winner Jannik Sinner. He ended his year with a 51-25 win/loss and two titles.
