Matteo Berrettini splits from Vanessa Bellini amid Peggy Gou rumors
Matteo Berrettini is reportedly single after Vanessa Bellini, a dancer on Tiziano Ferro’s tour, posted an emotional message on July 3, 2026 that fans read as a breakup confirmation. The Italian tennis star is now rumored to be dating South Korean DJ Peggy Gou.
What happened?
Vanessa Bellini broke her social media silence with a raw post on July 3, 2026 that included a selfie of herself crying. She wrote about hiding her pain behind curated images, and many fans took it as a sign she and Berrettini had split. The dancer had recently unfollowed Berrettini and his brother Jacopo on Instagram, fueling the rumors.
Berrettini’s new link to Peggy Gou
Berrettini appears to have moved on. Fans spotted matching tiramisu photos on his and Peggy Gou’s Instagram feeds-same bowl, same angle-posted around the same time. Gou also shared a story featuring a tennis-themed keychain, hinting at a meeting in London during Wimbledon.
Why this matters for Berrettini
The split comes as Berrettini prepares for hard-court season after a busy clay swing. His next big target is the US Open, where he’ll chase a second Grand Slam quarterfinal. Any off-court drama risks overshadowing his on-court focus.
What comes next?
Bellini’s post has struck a chord with fans, who praise her honesty. Berrettini’s camp has stayed silent, while Gou’s team has not commented on the rumors. The Italian remains seeded for the next ATP 500 event in Hamburg, where he’ll open against a qualifier on July 22.
