Casper Ruud’s girlfriend, Maria Galligani, prefers to stay out of the limelight.
Ruud himself isn’t one to seek attention either. Known for his humility, he’s one of the more grounded players on the ATP Tour. Yet, there was a moment when he got quite vocal about something that bothered him—players complaining about tournament balls. He felt it was all just unnecessary drama.
Even though Ruud usually avoids the spotlight, his tennis career often puts him right in it. Recently, he made headlines at the ATP Finals by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in Turin. Despite Alcaraz battling illness, Ruud’s victory was well-earned and showcased why he’s been a Grand Slam runner-up three times.

Balancing Fame and Privacy:
While Ruud’s fame grows, Maria chooses to keep her life private. Unlike other high-profile tennis couples like Stefanos with Paula Badosa or Taylor Fritz with Morgan Riddle, Maria stays away from public attention. Fans might think it’s refreshing to see someone choosing privacy over publicity.
In an interview with We Are Tennis, Ruud spoke about how Maria decided to stay out of the spotlight. He admits that his busy schedule sometimes means she can’t always come first in his life priorities.
“No,” he explained, “it’s by her choice… things have changed for her as well.”
He acknowledges that being with an athlete means sometimes being third or fourth priority because of all his commitments.
Maria is praised by Ruud for her patience and strength in maintaining privacy and avoiding social media exposure.
“So she’s been very patient,” he said proudly.
Ultimately, what matters most is their happiness together. Their relationship seems to bring Ruud contentment off the court too! What do you think?
