Who is Carlos Alcaraz's rumoured girlfriend Claudia Canals? All you need to know
Carlos Alcaraz has never officially confirmed his relationship status with Claudia Canals
Carlos Alcaraz has been away from tennis for nearly three months now, yet he continues to attract media attention.
His stay in New York this week has seen him attract significant media hype, given his appearances with celebrities across different domains, and his viral celebration at the FIFA World Cup final.
However, this time he finds himself at the centre of attention due to a potential update in his personal life. The Spaniard has always been private about his relationships, and has maintained that he is single whenever asked about his personal life in interviews.
Carlos Alcaraz previously linked relationships
Long before Carlos Alcaraz became a household name in tennis, reports linked him to María González Giménez, described in Spanish media as a childhood friend from his hometown of El Palmar.
The connection was framed largely as speculation rather than a confirmed romance, with outlets suggesting the pair may have briefly dated during his early breakthrough years.
Alcaraz himself later dampened the narrative, stating in interviews that he was single. Alcaraz’s name then became tied to British tennis player Emma Raducanu, after the two were seen spending time together at various tournaments.
Speculation intensified when the pair teamed up for mixed doubles at the US Open. Raducanu was also spotted watching several of his matches from the stands, further stoking public curiosity. Despite the attention, both athletes addressed the matter directly and stated that they were simply friends.
Fresh rumours swirled about a romance with model Brooks Nader in late 2025, after her sister Grace Ann Nader told E! News that “the rumours are true,” while noting that “dating is such a loose term.”
Nader attended Alcaraz’s trophy presentation following his four-set victory over Jannik Sinner at the 2025 US Open, and her sisters dropped further hints about the relationship during a radio interview. Nader remained non-committal when directly questioned by television hosts.
In 2026, the Spaniard was linked with South Korean DJ Peggy Gou, who was seen in Alcaraz’s player box during his Australian Open quarterfinal against Alex de Minaur, with reports noting the two had shared a dinner in Seoul shortly before the tournament began.
Asked about the connection, Alcaraz described Gou simply as a friend, adding that he hoped to advance far enough in the draw to watch her perform live.
