Casper Ruud Marries Longtime Partner Maria Galligani in Mallorca Ceremony
World No. 8 tennis player Casper Ruud has married his longtime partner, Maria Galligani, in a ceremony held on the Spanish island of Mallorca. The couple, who have been together since 2018, confirmed the union following widespread reports of the private celebration, which took place away from the professional tennis circuit.
Details of the Wedding Celebration
The wedding festivities were hosted in Mallorca, a location frequently visited by professional tennis players for training and leisure. According to reports from European media outlets, the event included a themed reception that paid homage to the sport that defines the groom’s professional life, featuring a “tennis-garden party” aesthetic. While the couple has maintained a high degree of privacy regarding their personal lives throughout Ruud’s ascent in the ATP rankings, images from the event surfaced across social media platforms, confirming the marriage of the 25-year-old Norwegian athlete.
A Long-Standing Partnership
Casper Ruud and Maria Galligani have maintained a relationship since 2018, during which time Galligani has been a consistent presence in the player’s box at Grand Slam tournaments and ATP Masters 1000 events. Galligani, who holds a master’s degree in psychology from the University of Oslo, has often been cited by Ruud in interviews as a grounding influence during the high-pressure demands of the professional tour.
The marriage marks a significant milestone for the couple as they balance the rigorous travel schedule required by the ATP Tour. Ruud, a three-time Grand Slam finalist, has previously spoken about the importance of stability outside of the court to maintain performance consistency throughout the long calendar year.
Impact on the Professional Schedule
The timing of the wedding occurs during a transitional period in the tennis calendar, allowing the couple time away from competition. For Ruud, the offseason—or gaps between major tournaments—serves as a necessary period for physical recovery and personal time.
The Norwegian, who reached the final of the French Open on two occasions and the US Open once, remains a fixture in the top tier of men’s tennis. His focus now shifts back to the upcoming hard-court swing and preparations for the next major tournament cycle. As a professional, Ruud’s ability to compartmentalize his personal life has been a noted trait by his coaching staff, which includes his father, former professional Christian Ruud.
What Comes Next for the Couple
Following the wedding, Ruud is expected to return to his training base in Norway before resuming his international travel for the next ATP event. Fans and followers of the tour can monitor the official ATP Tour website for updates on his upcoming tournament entries and confirmed match schedules. As of this report, no changes to his competitive calendar have been announced following the wedding.
The couple has not issued a formal press statement regarding their future plans, adhering to the private nature they have cultivated over the last six years. Readers interested in following Ruud’s career progress can track his ranking and performance statistics through the official International Tennis Federation player profile page.
