I’m finally adding world No.1 Simona Halep to my WTA Players and their Love Partners page, as now I have proof that her boyfriend is former Romanian tennis player, Radu Barbu. Reportedly, they started dating after the US Open, as it was in him that Halep found consolation in after her tough first-round loss to Maria Sharapova.
In early November, Romanian website Click.ro published these paparazzi photos of the couple vacationing in Portofino, Italy.
The 34-year-old Barbu was born in Pitesti, Romania, but in his twenties moved to the USA, playing for the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University (TCU) from 2005 to 2007.
