Who Is Nelly Korda’s Boyfriend? All About Professional Hockey Player Andreas Athanasiou

 

Nelly Korda is continuing to make history.

She’s currently the No.1 female golfer in the world with an army of supportive fans. And this past weekend, the 25-year-old won her sixth LPGA tournament of her past seven previous starts.

At New Jersey's Liberty National Golf Course, the Florida native took home the trophy at the Mizuho Americas Open, extending her dominant run of the 2024 season.

This isn't the only win for Nelly over the past few weeks: She also just attended the Met Gala, making her the first LPGA player to walk fashion's biggest red carpet. With an upcoming appearance in the Olympics this summer, Nelly is on a serious roll.

But while she’s completely crushing things on a professional level, she also has plenty of support off the course. One of her biggest fans is her boyfriend, Andreas Athanasiou, who usually can be seen on the sidelines as she competes.

But who is Andreas Athanasiou and how long have they been together? Here’s what you need to know.

Is Nelly Korda in a relationship?

Yes, Nelly Korda is in a relationship. She’s dating Andreas Athanasiou, and the two go way back. The couple originally launched their relationship in 2019 with an Instagram post about Thanksgiving, but it’s since been removed.

Andreas hasn’t shown up on Nelly’s Instagrams lately—but, to be fair, her content is 99% golf-related. Andreas also is on Instagram, but his account is private.

Andreas Athanasiou and Nelly Korda first began dating in 2019.

That Thanksgiving photo dropped in 2019, but the two didn’t share any details about how they met. While Nelly and Andreas regularly show up at each other’s tournaments and games, they’re pretty private in public about their relationship.

He plays for the Chicago Blackhawks.

Speaking of games…Andreas is a professional athlete, too. He currently plays for the Chicago Blackhawks, although he has experience with the Edmonton Oilers and Detroit Red Wings, where played for five seasons (between 2015 and 2020).

Andreas is 6 feet, 2 inches and weighs 190 pounds, according to his bio. He’s also 29—four years older than Nelly—and is from Ontario, Canada.
