Badosa Hits Back At 'False' Betancourt Break Up Claims

| by Evita Mueller

Paula Badosa set the record straight and denied any claims about breaking up with her boyfriend Juan Betancourt.

Private life is something that everyone values but for some people, it may be difficult to keep things secret and away from the public eye. Tennis players know their bit about it, as ATP player Matteo Berrettini has been facing a lot of disrespectful claims about his relationship.

But players on the WTA Tour sometimes have to face the same thing. Spanish No. 1, Paula Badosa has been dating a Cuban model Juan Betancourt and the two have enjoyed a lot of spotlight as the Cuban often traveled to the tournaments with the former world no. 2.

The couple, who have been out of the public eye for some time, became the subject of speculation after Spanish media outlet Hola published an article claiming their relationship had come to an end. However, Badosa has swiftly countered these allegations, calling them 'false' and 'backwards.' The article by Hola, marked as 'exclusive', stated:

"It's been almost three months since there have been no images of Paula Badosa with Juan Betancourt, when the model was attending the tournaments she played, and today we have the answer: as you may have known HELLO! EXCLUSIVELY, The couple have ended their relationship."

The crux of the assumption stemmed from the lack of recent photographs of the couple together, igniting speculations of a potential split. However, Badosa didn't let this narrative spin out of control.

She quickly responded to the rumors, addressing them directly via social media. The Spanish player rebuffed the assertions with a firm denial, as she commented on the article and also added a story in which she stated:

"The factual information is totally backwards and false. Can you be better informed about what you mark 'exclusive'? Thank you."

Badosa's response emphasizes the importance of factual accuracy in the media. Her quick and assertive reaction not only quashed the rumors but also highlighted the need for responsible journalism. In an era where 'exclusive' news can often be unverified or based on conjecture, Badosa's message is a timely reminder to both media outlets and the public.
