He lost in straight sets to Italian Matteo Berrettini on Court 18, with blonde Katie looking pretty in a pink training top with white Nike shorts and a cap.
Alex was back in action hours later with Katie in the mixed doubles against his compatriots Storm Sanders and John Peers.
Revealing they were to compete alongside each other, Katie said: “I was privileged enough to ask him and he said yes.”
Katie had previously written off dating fellow pros after a bad experience.
She said: “I dated a tennis player — I learned a lot from it. I swore I would never date another tennis player . . . and I ended up dating another tennis player.
“And I am so glad I did. I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
The British number one will face Elena Rybakina in the third round on Centre Court in her next match.
Her first round match was halted by Just Stop Oil protestors earlier this week.
