Is Sinner Dating Schumacher’s Son’s Ex?
Speculation first began after the Roland Garros final, which Laila allegedly attended for more than just tennis. Before the match, the couple were spotted walking hand in hand after a romantic dinner. At the time, Daily Mail wrote that the tennis star had started dating her. Few expected those rumors to turn out to be true!
Soon, the story began spreading rapidly through the media. It didn’t take long to reach Sinner, who immediately denied it. “No, no, there wasn’t any girlfriend. I just had a couple of photo shoots there, that’s all. Nothing more,” said the player. Apparently, he didn’t want his private life exposed to the public again — as it was during his relationship with Kalinskaya. Sinner and Kalinskaya were often seen together, and their breakup became a widely discussed topic.
TelecomAsia Sport introduces you to Sinner’s new girlfriend, Laila Hasanovic. This is his first relationship since parting ways with Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya.
Who Is Laila Hasanovic?
Laila Hasanovic is a well-known Danish model with Bosnian roots who currently lives in Copenhagen. In 2019, she was a finalist in the Miss Universe beauty pageant. Before her relationship with Mick Schumacher, she dated Wolfsburg footballer Jonas Wind, though that relationship didn’t last long.
For three years, Laila Hasanovic was in a relationship with Mick Schumacher, the 26-year-old son of legendary Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher. Mick, who used to compete in F1, now races for the Alpine team in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
The couple split up at the end of April. Laila deleted all their photos from social media, unfollowed her boyfriend, and both reportedly joined a private dating app for celebrities.
Interestingly, Hasanovic had become part of the Schumacher family’s inner circle and was the only one of Mick’s girlfriends to have visited his father, the Formula 1 legend. News of their breakup shocked fans and friends alike.
Sinner’s Alleged Romance with a Russian Model
In the media’s eyes, Jannik Sinner has gained quite the reputation as a ladies’ man. Before Laila Hasanovic, he was rumored to be involved with Russian model Lara Lieto. Lieto was previously in a six-year relationship with Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody before they split in 2018.
Lieto and Sinner were spotted together at a tennis club in Monaco. The Russian model was reportedly photographing him from the stands during practice. Later, the two were seen kissing after Sinner gave her a ride home. Italian tabloids were quick to capture the moment.
During the Rome Masters, Jannik Sinner cleared the air about his personal life:
“There’s a lot of attention. I was surprised to see those photos — there’s nothing serious there. Right now, I’m not in a relationship,” the Italian said.
His past relationship with Anna Kalinskaya may have shaped Sinner’s approach to privacy. In the past, he was open when speaking to the press, but now he tries to avoid such questions. And it’s understandable. His breakup with the Russian player coincided with the doping controversy, which took a serious emotional toll on him.
Sinner has clearly learned his lesson — he no longer wants to put his private life on display. Yes, he confirmed his relationship with Laila Hasanovic, but he did so quietly and without any unnecessary fanfare. It seems the tennis star has grown tired of being constantly linked to various beauties in the media. Now, at last, that may finally stop.
