Tennis player Félix Auger-Aliassime first noticed equestrian Nina Aliassime during a tournament in March 2019 and felt an immediate connection, leading him to ask her out for dinner. Their first date sparked what Félix describes as love at first sight, with both quickly realizing they wanted to marry, characterized by instant comfort, honesty, and a growing love from their very first meeting.

They got engaged in November 2024 while vacationing in the Seychelles, where Félix surprised Nina with a heartfelt letter he had written shortly after they met, followed by a proposal on their balcony. The intimate moment was followed by a sunset picnic and beach barbecue, where they joyfully shared their engagement news with family and friends.
