“I’d keep my personal life to myself” – Jannik Sinner’s girlfriend Laila Hasanovic dodges questions about Italian amid breakup rumors
Jannik Sinner’s girlfriend, Laila Hasanovic, attended the Elle Awards 2026 at Copenhagen’s Hotel d’Angleterre on Friday and kept her answers about the Italian to a minimum. The Danish model has spent much of this autumn in Italian headlines over the relationship, and at the event she was happy to talk about her work and her city, but not about Sinner.
The relationship went public on October 26, 2025, when Sinner thanked his family, his girlfriend and his friends in his on-court speech after beating Alexander Zverev in the Vienna Open final, with Hasanovic sitting alongside his parents. She has since become a regular presence at tournaments, often cheering the Italian on from the stands. However, amid the five-time Grand Slam champion’s absence from tour, Italian outlets have reported a split, though neither Sinner nor Hasanovic has confirmed or denied it.
Hasanovic recently attended the Elle Awards in a stunning “Italian-inspired” black gown, which she paired with a diamond necklace. While speaking to the press on the red carpet, the Dane revealed that Sinner had not joined her at the event before declining to answer any more questions about his whereabouts.
“No he isn’t,” she told Se og Hør when asked whether her boyfriend was at the event.
Having experienced intense scrutiny since the couple were first linked in the summer of 2025, Hasanovic rated her own handling of the attention highly.
“I think I’ve handled it very well,” Hasanovic said.
“No, I actually don’t think so,” she added, when asked whether it was hard to deal with so many media outlets writing about her.
Although Hasanovic acknowledged the “unfamiliar feeling” of being captured in paparazzi pictures, she emphasized that she did not let any of it impact her personal life.
“Of course, it’s a slightly unfamiliar feeling but it doesn’t affect my private life at all. So, everything’s fine,” she said
