Nelly Korda’s Boyfriend: Andreas Athanasiou, has an international background

Golf couple Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki may have split up, just like other golf couples: Tiger Woods and Lindsay Vonn and Greg Norman and Chris Evert. But at least one power couple features a professional golfer and an athlete from a different sport: 14-time LPGA tour winner Nelly Korda and the Chicago Blackhawks’ center Andreas Athanasiou.

Although they went Instagram official on Thanksgiving in 2019, they swiftly deleted their post and have barely referenced their relationship since. Indeed, it’s unlikely that you’llcsee Korda and Athanasiou at a red-carpet event or launch a reality show together soon.

But while we don’t know much about their romance, we do know a little more about the couple as individuals. From fast-paced beginnings and gold medal victories to dietary requirements and net worths, here’s a guide to the lesser-known half of the pairing that we think should give the Bennifer-like nickname of “Kordathanasiou.”

Korda’s boyfriend, Andreas Athanasiou, has an international background as well. While the Chicago Blackhawks ice hockey center was born in Woodbridge, Ontario, his mother, Nadira, hails from South America’s northern coast, specifically Guyana. His father, Stan, an airline pilot, grew up in the Greek capital of Athens. Athanasiou appears to be particularly proud of his Greek heritage.
