And the controversy then spilled into their love life as Chiara Passari has accused the tennis bad-boy of cheating on her with a model with photographic evidence.
By December 2021, Nick was pictured with influencer Costeen Hatzi at a basketball game which suggested that Passari and Kyrgios’ bond ended in Autumn.
This has been confirmed as Kyrgios has moved on and is now dating blogger and influencer Costeen Hatzi.
