Andreas Athanasiou not being by his girlfriend and professional golfer Nelly Korda’s side during the Solheim Cup red carpet event has sparked breakup rumors between the two. As such, fans are wondering if the two split up. Korda and Athanasiou have reportedly been together since 2019. The couple has almost always kept their relationship private, only occasionally giving the public glimpses into their life via social media.
So, did Nelly Korda and Andreas Athanasiou break up and is there any truth to the rumors? Here is your answer.
Did Nelly Korda and Andreas Athanasiou split up?
Nelly Korda and Andreas Athanasiou are not confirmed to have broken up as of writing.
There are no official or credible reports suggesting the couple have broken up. As such, Andreas Athanasiou’s absence from the Solheim Cup red carpet event and not being by Nelly Korda’s side could mean that he is busy with prior commitments. It is also possible that Korda may have chosen to attend the event alone.
Check out the Instagram photos from the event that sparked the rumors below:

The couple have also supported each other in their respective careers. In 2022, Korda wore a jersey of the Chicago Blackhawks (as seen in this X [formerly Twitter] post) hockey team that Athanasiou played for during the CP Women’s Open. It was to show her support for him and the team by extension.
Meanwhile, Athanasiou attended Korda’s golf tournaments to show his support. He even once praised her golfing skills in an interview with WoodTV, after she won the Meijer LPGA Classic golf tournament. “It’s fun to be a part of. She played so well,” he said. “It’s exciting, I mean watching is totally different than playing. … I’m so happy for her.”
Andreas Athanasiou also confirmed in a TSN interview, that he plays golf with Nelly Korda. When asked if he ever came close to beating her, he answered, “I can take her maybe on a 9.” He then said he came pretty close to winning against her in a match, but said by 18 he’d “blow up too many times to even come close.”
As of now, neither Athanasiou nor Korda have addressed their breakup rumors. Hence, it would be safe to say that these are just speculations till the couple provides any statement on the same.
