The 30-year-old champion spent her Sunday browsing high-end stores such as Casadei, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana on the famous Via Montenapoleone. Serena looked stylish in fitted black pants, a pink top, and flats, while Patrick kept it smart yet casual in jeans and a white open-neck shirt.
Though Serena is known for her athletic strength, Patrick gallantly carried most of the many shopping bags, with Serena’s little Yorkshire terrier tagging along for the outing.
The pair’s close bond has fueled speculation of a romance. Earlier this month, they were spotted enjoying time together in southern France, dining out and even checking property listings along the Riviera—adding more weight to dating rumors.
Serena has been taking a well-deserved break in Europe after an impressive season. She struck gold at the London Olympics in both singles and doubles with her sister Venus, and just weeks later, she claimed the U.S. Open title with Patrick by her side as coach.
While she’s been linked in the past to actor Jackie Long, director Brett Ratner, and rapper-actor Common, Serena’s connection with Mouratoglou seems to be capturing the spotlight now.
