Canadian tennis star Leylah Fernandez is becoming more public with her boyfriend Vincent Boily.

She recently shared a social media post of the two together in Rome, and fans could not be happier for the couple.

Boily, 25, is a Canadian ice sled hockey player. Injured in a snowmobile accident as a teenager, his partial paralysis temporarily derailed his original NHL dreams until he charted a new course. He was a member of the silver medal winning Canadian para ice hockey team in the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic games.

Fernandez was candid about dating life last year

23-year-old Fernandez admitted last summer that she had never been on an official date. Shortly thereafter, her social media feed was flooded with people who wanted to change that.

She did go on a date with an unnamed guy during the US Open hardcourt series but did not divulge many details.

Fans still wonder if that was Boily, and the pair had been keeping their relationship secret for months.

Fernandez wants to kickstart the 2026 season

Fernandez’s 2025 season caught fire later in the year by winning the Mubadala Citi Open in August and the Japan Open in October. She hopes to do the same or better as the 2026 season forges ahead.

This week, Fernandez is one of several well-known players who exited the Italian Open prematurely and elected to play Trophee Clarins, a WTA 125 clay court event in Paris.
