<p>Nick Kyrgios’ girlfriend Costeen Hatzi has given her first TV interview, appearing on<span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;"> Channel 7’s </span><em style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">The Morning Show</em><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">, where she shared how she first the Aussie tennis star, and discussed a potential future engagement.</span></p>
<p>Hatzi, 22, revealed that the pair's first encounter was less than conventional, linking back to a mirror she had advertised for sale online.</p>
<p>“I used to have an online home decor business and I would sell mirrors and candles and vases,” she told <em>The Morning Show</em>.</p>
<p>“I took a photo - like a mirror selfie - and I posted it to my business Instagram.”</p>
<p>She explained that the photo had appeared on Kyrgios’ explore page on Instagram, which led him to track her down and meet her.</p>
<p>“So he clicked on it and then messaged the business and was like, ‘Hey, can I buy this mirror?’”</p>
<p>Hatzi said despite Kyrgios living in Melbourne, he was quick to offer to collect the mirror from Sydney in person.</p>
<p>“He came to Sydney, he invited me out that night, so I went with a few friends,” she said.</p>
<p>The business owner admitted she chose to bring friends along with her in case it went “badly”.</p>
<p>“But, everything went well, it was so friendly, it was so nice - I didn’t really expect him to be so friendly and nice.”</p>
<p>She went on to say that although she didn’t follow tennis at the time, she was aware of his “on-court behaviour and stuff” so she “was a bit skeptical”.</p>
<p>“But we met up and then we spent every day with each other after that,” she said.</p>
<p>Hatzi said her family was “a bit confused” when she shared she was going out for drinks with the tennis star.</p>
<p>“I told my mum that he was picking up the mirror and she was like, ‘Oh does he just want the mirror or does he want to take you out?’” she said.</p>
<p>It has been 18 months since the couple first met and they now live together and travel the world for Kyrgios’ many tennis commitments.</p>
<p>“I can work while I’m travelling,” Hatzi said, explaining that focusing on her work and travelling combines well.</p>
<p>“So I can film all my Instagram content on the road.</p>
<p>“That kind of works well. We travelled together on tour last year and we’re going again this year.”</p>
<p>Hatzi has her own exciting new venture as she is now a new face of Bondi Sands, which Kyrgios teased on social media could lead to his “early retirement”.</p>
<p>“He’s really supportive, I’m really lucky to have him,” she said.</p>
<p>Hatzi also touched on her boyfriend’s previous comments that she is “the one”.</p>
<p>In February 2022, Kyrgios was asked by a fan if he knew Hatzi was the one when he first saw her, which he responded with “yes”.</p>
<p>She smiled at the comment but revealed that the pair were not planning their engagement “yet”.</p>
<p>“I mean, if it happens, it happens, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t,” she said.</p>
<p>“I’m just going with the flow and we’re happy and healthy and, yeah, that’s all that matters.”</p>
