Their love story is worthy of being turned into a Hollywood movie. It was a crush at first sight while they walked the streets of New York in August 2021. All this without knowing that she would meet, at that moment, who will be her future husband, Arthur Borges. The model recognized the tennis player and did not hesitate to wish her luck. Now, about to celebrate two years of relationship, they have announced that they are getting married.
"I am very happy to share this moment with you because it is very beautiful and because you not only always have to celebrate the trophies, but also this more human side of athletes", explained the young woman in the magazine 'Hola!'. Muguruza knows very well what it is to savor the honey of success on a professional level and now he is fighting to do it personally. “Good luck at the US Open”, were the exact words that Borges said to the tennis player as soon as he saw her: “It was really a crush at first sight, because from the first moment we had an attraction”.
The tennis player is delighted with having a profession that is far from that of her fiancée: “I didn't know anything about him and I really liked that he was from another world, he belongs to the world of fashion and luxury. He is not part of tennis and for me it was something important, that not everything is tennis in my life ”. Something that, added to how handsome, seemed conducive to the fact that almost every day they went for a walk together in Central Park. And they kept that moment in which they met with special affection: "he asked me for a photo and now we have the photo of the exact moment in which we met framed."
The request for a hand was not like that first meeting but Garbiñe assures said header that he knelt: “Yes, yes. I am traditional, so I had to be quite a gentleman. The Marbella Club hotel -one of the athlete's favorites- was chosen for that moment: “When I believed it, I started crying, I didn't know how to react. I said yes through tears of emotion and it was all very romantic.
Intimate wedding in Spain
Despite the fact that they still do not have a set date, the couple wants to seal their love in 2024: "We have to decide the place too, many things, but I haven't really gotten around to it yet." Although they have clear preferences: “I like good weather, I want summer and sun, I want close to the beach and I want Spain because it is the right place, the one that unites us the most as well”. Also that his wish is that it be "an intimate wedding" in which only those closest to him are present.
What Muguruza likes most about the model is her patience and that she has a great sense of humor. In addition, the fact that he is an "athletic and sporty" man, that he has great style and that he is "gorgeous" has made her completely in love with him. Also the great connection that she had from the first moment. "We both fit in well and we got along well from the start, it's as if we knew each other before."
